Footnotes

  1. 82 Or “and Moses was willing” to stay with Reuel. The Talmud understood this to mean that he swore, and so when it came time to leave he had to have a word from God and permission from his father-in-law (Exod 4:18–19).
  2. 83 The words “in marriage” are implied, and have been supplied in the translation for clarity.
