9:16But31 for this purpose I have caused you to stand:32 to show you33 my strength, and so that my name may be declared34 in all the earth.
Footnotes
- 31 The first word is a very strong adversative, which, in general, can be translated “but, howbeit”; 19 אוּלָם suggests for this passage “but in very deed.”
- 32 The form הֶעֱמַדְתִּיךָ (he’emadtikha) is the Hiphil perfect of עָמַד (’amad). It would normally mean “I caused you to stand.” But that seems to have one or two different connotations. S. R. Driver (Exodus, ) says that it means “maintain you alive.” The causative of this verb means “continue,” according to him. The has the same basic sense—“you were preserved.” But Paul bypasses the Greek and writes “he raised you up” to show God’s absolute sovereignty over Pharaoh. Both renderings show God’s sovereign control over Pharaoh.
- 33 The Hiphil infinitive construct הַרְאֹתְךָ (har’otékha) is the purpose of God’s making Pharaoh come to power in the first place. To make Pharaoh see is to cause him to understand, to experience God’s power.
- 34 Heb “in order to declare my name.” Since there is no expressed subject, this may be given a passive translation.
