Footnotes

  1. 65 The text has Heb “the voices of God.” The divine epithet can be used to express the superlative (cf. Jonah 3:3).
  2. 66 The expression וְרַב מִהְיֹת (vérav mihyot, “[the mighty thunder and hail] is much from being”) means essentially “more than enough.” This indicates that the storm was too much, or, as one might say, “It is enough.”
  3. 67 The last clause uses a verbal hendiadys: “you will not add to stand,” meaning “you will no longer stay.”
