Keluaran 9:30

9:30 But as for you ¹  and your servants, I know that you do not yet fear ²  the Lord God.”

Keluaran 32:22

32:22 Aaron said, “Do not let your anger burn hot, my lord; ³  you know these people, that they tend to evil. ⁴ 

[9:30]  ¹ tn The verse begins with the disjunctive vav to mark a strong contrastive clause to what was said before this.

[9:30]  ² tn The adverb טֶרֶם (terem, “before, not yet”) occurs with the imperfect tense to give the sense of the English present tense to the verb negated by it (GKC 314-15 §107.c). Moses is saying that he knew that Pharaoh did not really stand in awe of God, so as to grant Israel’s release, i.e., fear not in the religious sense but “be afraid of” God – fear “before” him (S. R. Driver, Exodus, 76).

[32:22]  ³ sn “My lord” refers to Moses.

[32:22]  ⁴ tn Heb “that on evil it is.”
