Footnotes

  1. 59 The deictic particle is used here simply to call attention to a place of God’s knowing and choosing.
  2. 60 Heb “and you will,” or interpretively, “where you will.”
  3. 61 Note the use in Exod 40:3, “and you will screen the ark with the curtain.” The glory is covered, veiled from being seen.
  4. 62 The circumstantial clause is simply, “my hand [being] over you.” This protecting hand of Yahweh represents a fairly common theme in the Bible.
  5. 63 The construction has a preposition with an infinitive construct and a suffix: “while [or until] I pass by” (Heb “in the passing by of me”).
