Footnotes
- 56 The form is a Piel perfect with vav (ו) consecutive; it carries the same nuance as the preceding imperfect in the conditional clause.
- 57 The perfect tense with vav (ו) consecutive now appears in the apodosis of the conditional sentence—“if you do this … then you will be able.”
- 58 Heb “to stand.” B. Jacob (Exodus, 501) suggests that there might be a humorous side to this: “you could even do this standing up.”
- 59 Literally “this people.”
- 60 The verb is the simple imperfect, “will go,” but given the sense of the passage a potential nuance seems in order.
- 61 Heb “his place.”
- 62 Heb “in peace.” See further T. D. Weinshall, “The Organizational Structure Proposed by Jethro to Moses (Ex. 18:17),” Public Administration in Israel and Abroad 12 (1972): 9–13; and H. Reviv, “The Traditions Concerning the Inception of the Legal System in Israel: Significance and Dating,” 94 (1982): 566–75.
