Footnotes

  1. 9 Heb “and why.…” The conjunction seems to be recording another thing that the people said in their complaint against Moses.
  2. 10 The clause uses the infinitive construct with the lamed (ל) preposition. The clause would be a result clause in this sentence: “Why have you brought us here … with the result that we will all die?”
