19:3Moses6 went up to God, and the Lord called to him from the mountain, “Thus you will tell the house of Jacob, and declare to the people7 of Israel: 19:4‘You yourselves have seen what I did to Egypt and how I lifted you on eagles’ wings8 and brought you to myself.9
Footnotes
- 6 Heb “and Moses went up.”
- 7 This expression is normally translated as “Israelites” in this translation, but because in this place it is parallel to “the house of Jacob” it seemed better to offer a fuller rendering.
- 8 The figure compares the way a bird would teach its young to fly and leave the nest with the way Yahweh brought Israel out of Egypt. The bird referred to could be one of several species of eagles, but more likely is the griffin-vulture. The image is that of power and love.
- 9 The language here is the language of a bridegroom bringing the bride to the chamber. This may be a deliberate allusion to another metaphor for the covenant relationship.
