Exodus 17:6

17:6 I will be standing ¹  before you there on ²  the rock in Horeb, and you will strike ³  the rock, and water will come out of it so that the people may drink.” ⁴  And Moses did so in plain view ⁵  of the elders of Israel.

Isaiah 33:21

33:21 Instead the Lord will rule there as our mighty king. ⁶ 

Rivers and wide streams will flow through it; ⁷ 

no war galley will enter; ⁸ 

no large ships will sail through. ⁹ 

[17:6]  ¹ tn The construction uses הִנְנִי עֹמֵד (hinni ’omed) to express the futur instans or imminent future of the verb: “I am going to be standing.”

[17:6]  ² tn Or “by” (NIV, NLT).

[17:6]  ³ tn The form is a Hiphil perfect with the vav (ו) consecutive; it follows the future nuance of the participle and so is equivalent to an imperfect tense nuance of instruction.

[17:6]  ⁴ tn These two verbs are also perfect tenses with vav (ו) consecutive: “and [water] will go out…and [the people] will drink.” But the second verb is clearly the intent or the result of the water gushing from the rock, and so it may be subordinated.

[17:6]  ⁵ tn Heb “in the eyes of.”

[33:21]  ⁶ tn Heb “But there [as] a mighty one [will be] the Lord for us.”

[33:21]  ⁷ tn Heb “a place of rivers, streams wide of hands [i.e., on both sides].”

[33:21]  ⁸ tn Heb “a ship of rowing will not go into it.”

[33:21]  ⁹ tn Heb “and a mighty ship will not pass through it.”
