Footnotes

10 Heb “he.”
11 The form of this construction is rare: נְבִיאֲכֶם (névi’akhem) would normally be rendered “your prophet.” The singular noun is suffixed with a plural pronominal suffix. Some commentators think the has condensed “a prophet” with “to you.”
12 The Hebrew syntax is difficult here. “The Lord” is separated from the verb by two intervening prepositional phrases. Some scholars conclude that this word belongs with the verb at the beginning of v. 6 (“And the Lord spoke”).
