Footnotes

37 הִנְנִי מַמְטִיר (hinéni mamtir) is the futur instans construction, giving an imminent future translation: “Here—I am about to cause it to rain.”
38tn Heb “which not was like it in Egypt.” The pronoun suffix serves as the resumptive pronoun for the relative particle: “which … like it” becomes “the like of which has not been.” The word “hail” is added in the translation to make clear the referent of the relative particle.
39 The form הִוָּסְדָה (hivvasdah) is perhaps a rare Niphal perfect and not an infinitive (U. Cassuto, Exodus, ).
