translationNotes

  • I spoke to you at that time - Here "I" refers to Moses. The phrase "at the time" refers to when the Israelites were at Horeb, which is the same as Mount Sinai. AT: "Also, when we were at Horeb, I spoke to you" (See:en:ta:vol1:translate:figs_explicit)
  • I am not able to carry you myself alone - "I cannot take care of all of you by myself"
  • as the stars of heaven for multitude - This is an exaggeration to show that God has been faithful to his promise by making it so that there are lots of Israelites. (See: en:ta:vol2:translate:figs_hyperbole)
  • thousand - AT: 1,000 (See:en:ta:vol2:translate:translate_numbers)
