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 / exclamations

וְ⁠הִנֵּה

and=see/lo/see!

The word behold signals the surprising information that follows.

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

וַ⁠תַּחְמֹ֣ל עָלָ֔י⁠ו

and,felt_sorry on/upon/above=him/it

The text does not state exactly what caused her to have compassion on the baby. If a reason must be provided in your language, it should be connected to either his crying (this is the better option) or that he was a “good” baby (2:2).

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / quotemarks

מִ⁠יַּלְדֵ֥י הָֽ⁠עִבְרִ֖ים זֶֽה

This is a direct quotation. It may be helpful to your readers to indicate this with first-level quotation marks or with whatever other punctuation or convention your language uses to indicate a quotation. It seems to have been said loud enough for the baby’s sister to hear. There may be other quotations in this chapter; they will be marked by the same punctuation, but they will not have their own notes.
