23:21 Take heed because of him, and obey his voice; do not rebel against him, for he will not pardon your transgressions, for my name ¹  is in him. 23:22 But if you diligently obey him ²  and do all that I command, then I will be an enemy to your enemies, and I will be an adversary to your adversaries.

[23:22]  ² tn The infinitive absolute here does not add as great an emphasis as normal, but emphasizes the condition that is being set forth (see GKC 342-43 §113.o).

[39:43]  ⁵ tn The deictic particle draws attention to what he saw in such a way as to give the reader Moses’ point of view and a sense of his pleasure: “and behold, they…”

[39:43]  ⁶ sn The situation and wording in Exod 39:43 are reminiscent of Gen 1:28 and 31, with the motifs of blessing people and inspecting what has been made.

[40:32]  ⁷ tn The construction is the infinitive construct with the temporal preposition and the suffixed subjective genitive. This temporal clause indicates that the verb in the preceding verse was frequentative.

[40:32]  ⁸ tn This is another infinitive construct in a temporal clause.

[40:32]  ⁹ tn In this explanatory verse the verb is a customary imperfect.
