[12:4] 1 tn Heb “made our yoke burdensome.”
[12:4] 2 tn Heb “but you, now, lighten the burdensome work of your father and the heavy yoke which he placed on us, and we will serve you.” In the Hebrew text the prefixed verbal form with vav (וְנַעַבְדֶךָ, [vÿna’avdekha] “and we will serve you”) following the imperative (הָקֵל [haqel], “lighten”) indicates purpose (or result). The conditional sentence used in the translation above is an attempt to bring out the logical relationship between these forms.
[12:11] 3 tn Heb “and now my father placed upon you a heavy yoke, but I will add to your yoke.”
[12:11] 4 tn Heb “My father punished you with whips, but I will punish you with scorpions.” “Scorpions” might allude to some type of torture using poisonous insects, but more likely it refers to a type of whip that inflicts an especially biting, painful wound. Cf. CEV “whips with pieces of sharp metal.”
[12:14] 5 tn Heb “and spoke to them according to.”
[12:14] 6 tn Heb “My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add to your yoke.”
[12:14] 7 tn Heb “My father punished you with whips, but I will punish you with scorpions.” See the note on the same phrase in v. 11.
