Keluaran 10:12

10:12 The Lord said to Moses, “Extend your hand over the land of Egypt for ¹  the locusts, that they may come up over the land of Egypt and eat everything that grows ²  in the ground, everything that the hail has left.”

Keluaran 15:17

15:17 You will bring them in ³  and plant them in the mountain ⁴  of your inheritance,

in the place you made ⁵  for your residence, O Lord,

the sanctuary, O Lord, that your hands have established.

Keluaran 22:6

22:6 “If a fire breaks out and spreads ⁶  to thorn bushes, ⁷  so that stacked grain or standing grain or the whole field is consumed, the one who started ⁸  the fire must surely make restitution.

[10:12]  ¹ tn The preposition בְּ (bet) is unexpected here. BDB 91 s.v. (the note at the end of the entry) says that in this case it can only be read as “with the locusts,” meaning that the locusts were thought to be implicit in Moses’ lifting up of his hand. However, BDB prefers to change the preposition to לְ (lamed).

[10:12]  ² tn The noun עֵשֶּׂב (’esev) normally would indicate cultivated grains, but in this context seems to indicate plants in general.

[15:17]  ³ tn The verb is imperfect.

[15:17]  ⁴ sn The “mountain” and the “place” would be wherever Yahweh met with his people. It here refers to Canaan, the land promised to the patriarchs.

[15:17]  ⁵ tn The verb is perfect tense, referring to Yahweh’s previous choice of the holy place.

[22:6]  ⁶ tn Heb “if a fire goes out and finds”; NLT “if a fire gets out of control.”

[22:6]  ⁷ sn Thorn bushes were used for hedges between fields, but thorn bushes also burned easily, making the fire spread rapidly.

[22:6]  ⁸ tn This is a Hiphil participle of the verb “to burn, kindle” used substantivally. This is the one who caused the fire, whether by accident or not.
