Footnotes
- 22 The disjunctive vav introduces a circumstantial clause here.
- 23 Heb “drew near.”
- 24 Heb “lifted up their eyes,” an expression that indicates an intentional and careful looking—they looked up and fixed their sights on the distance.
- 25 The construction uses הִנֵּה (hinneh) with the participle, traditionally rendered “and behold, the Egyptians were marching after them.” The deictic particle calls attention in a dramatic way to what was being seen. It captures the surprise and the sudden realization of the people.
- 26 The verb “feared” is intensified by the adverb מְאֹד (mé’od): “they feared greatly” or “were terrified.” In one look their defiant boldness seems to have evaporated.
- 27 Their cry to the Lord was proper and necessary. But their words to Moses were a rebuke and disloyal, showing a lack of faith and understanding. Their arrogance failed them in the crisis because it was built on the arm of flesh. Moses would have to get used to this murmuring, but here he takes it in stride and gives them the proper instructions. They had cried to the Lord, and now the Lord would deliver.
