Keluaran 8:1

1 Samuel 2:2

2:2 No one is holy ⁵  like the Lord!

There is no one other than you!

There is no rock ⁶  like our God!

[8:10]  ¹ tn Heb “And he said”; the referent (Moses) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[8:10]  ² tn “It will be” has been supplied.

[8:10]  ³ tn Heb “according to your word” (so NASB).

[8:1]  ⁴ sn Beginning with 8:1, the verse numbers through 8:32 in English Bibles differ from the verse numbers in the Hebrew text (BHS), with 8:1 ET = 7:26 HT, 8:2 ET = 7:27 HT, 8:3 ET = 7:28 HT, 8:4 ET = 7:29 HT, 8:5 ET = 8:1 HT, etc., through 8:32 ET = 8:28 HT. Thus in English Bibles chapter 8 has 32 verses, while in the Hebrew Bible it has 28 verses, with the four extra verses attached to chapter 7.

[2:2]  ⁵ sn In this context God’s holiness refers primarily to his sovereignty and incomparability. He is unique and distinct from all other so-called gods.

[2:2]  ⁶ tn The LXX has “and there is none righteous like our God.” The Hebrew term translated “rock” refers to a rocky cliff where one can seek refuge from enemies. Here the metaphor depicts God as a protector of his people. Cf. TEV “no protector like our God”; CEV “We’re safer with you than on a high mountain.”
