[25:4] 1 tn For the idiom involved here see the notes at 7:13 and 11:7.
[25:4] 2 tn The vav consecutive with the perfect in a past narrative is a little unusual. Here it is probably indicating repeated action in past time in keeping with the idiom that precedes and follows it. See GKC 332 §112.f for other possible examples.
[25:4] 3 tn Heb “inclined your ear to hear.” This is idiomatic for “paying attention.” It is often parallel with “listen” as here or with “pay attention” (see, e.g., Prov 4:20; 51:1).
[26:5] 4 tn See the translator’s note on 7:13 for the idiom here.
