TSNTyndale Study Notes:

2:1-25 Chapter 1 established the need for rescue; ch 2 describes the preparation of Moses, the rescuer. God used the destruction of the Hebrew boy babies to ensure that the rescuer would be trained (see study note on 2:10) for his task.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / go

וַ⁠תָּבֹ֕אנָה

and,returned

The daughters came from the well to their father, probably on foot. You can use either come or go, whichever is more natural.

Note 2 topic: translate-names

רְעוּאֵ֖ל

Rəˊū\sup_ʼēl\sup*

Reuel, a name or perhaps a title, is used of the man only here and in Numbers 10:29. He is otherwise called “Jethro.”

Note 3 topic: writing-participants

רְעוּאֵ֖ל

Rəˊū\sup_ʼēl\sup*

The priest of Midian was mentioned in v. 16 in a background statement but is a new character starting here. Use the natural form in your language for introducing a new character.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / quotations

וַ⁠יֹּ֕אמֶר מַדּ֛וּעַ מִהַרְתֶּ֥ן בֹּ֖א הַ⁠יּֽוֹם

and=he/it_said why soon come the=day

If it would be more natural in your language, you could express this as an indirect quotation. Alternate translation: “and he asked how they were able to return so quickly that day”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / go

בֹּ֖א

come

Alternative translation: “in returning”
