BrLXX Καὶ δώσω χάριν τῷ λαῷ τούτῳ ἐναντίον τῶν Αἰγυπτίων· ὅταν δὲ ἀποτρέχητε, οὐκ ἀπελεύσεσθε κενοί·
(Kai dōsō ⱪarin tōi laōi toutōi enantion tōn Aiguptiōn; hotan de apotreⱪaʸte, ouk apeleusesthe kenoi; )
3:13-22 Moses’ second protest was that he had inadequate knowledge. He did not know God’s name. This might mean that God’s personal name had not yet been revealed (see study notes on 6:2-3). It is also possible that Moses meant he did not know the secret, magic formula that a man of power might have been expected to make use of. Interest in such things was common in the ancient Near East. God’s direct response is almost a riddle, but the majority of his answer is a statement of his faithfulness in the past and a demonstration of his knowledge of the future. There is nothing magical about the name Yahweh. Knowledge of secret formulas and magic powers is not the issue; the issue is the character of God and his lordship of history. The reason there is “something about that name” is because of the incomparable character and nature of the one who bears it.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
חֵ֥ן & בְּעֵינֵ֣י מִצְרָ֑יִם
graciousness/kindness/favour/beauty & in/on=both_eyes_of from_Miʦrayim/(Miʦrayim/(Egypt))s
In the eyes of the Egyptians is an idiom for the Egyptian’s feelings. Favor means those feelings are positive. Taken together, this means that when the Egyptians see the Israelites (Hebrews) leaving Egypt, they will gladly help them (because they want them to leave so badly due to the Egyptians suffering under God’s judgment). If your language has the same or a similar idiom, you can translate or use it. Otherwise, you can translate the meaning.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / possession
בְּעֵינֵ֣י מִצְרָ֑יִם
in/on=both_eyes_of from_Miʦrayim/(Miʦrayim/(Egypt))s
This is a part-whole possessive. Also, if your language uses a specific form of the possessive for things one cannot lose, it would be appropriate to use that form here.
הָֽעָם־הַזֶּ֖ה
the,people the=this
Alternate translation: “you”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / youdual
תֵֽלֵכ֔וּן & תֵלְכ֖וּ
go, & go
If your language uses different forms of “you” depending on the number of people addressed, use a plural form here.
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / go
תֵֽלֵכ֔וּן & תֵלְכ֖וּ
go, & go
Alternate translation: “leave” or “go out” or “come out”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / doublenegatives
לֹ֥א & רֵיקָֽם
not & empty-handed
The double negative, not … emptily is used to mean “full.” If this double negative would be misunderstood in your language, you could translate it as a positive statement. Alternate translation: “[go] with many things”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / litotes
לֹ֥א תֵלְכ֖וּ רֵיקָֽם
not go empty-handed
Here Yahweh uses a figure of speech that expresses a strong positive meaning by using a negative word together with a word that is the opposite of the intended meaning. If this is confusing in your language, you can express the meaning positively. Alternate translation: “you will go with your hands full of good things” or “you will go with many valuable things”
