TTN Tyndale Theme Notes:

Hardship in Following God

Sometimes people are urged to accept Christ because “he will solve your problems.” But Christ did not promise to solve all of people’s problems. In fact, he repeatedly warned people to consider what it would cost to follow him (see, e.g., Luke 14:28), and he pointed out the hardships that would come into their lives as a result of choosing to follow him (see, e.g., Mark 8:34).

Exodus 5 gives us a case study: Pharaoh’s earlier enslavement and persecution of the Hebrews was purely strategic. He worried that this growing sector of the population would cause trouble for him (Exod 1:8-22). In chapter 5, the situation is different. Moses and Aaron had rallied the people’s hopes that their God would soon rescue them (4:29-31). During their initial encounter with Pharaoh, Moses and Aaron confronted him with the reality of God’s sovereign rule (5:1-3). Not surprisingly, Pharaoh considered this an affront to his own sovereignty and reacted strongly against the Israelites (5:4-21).

When God’s Kingdom clashes with God’s enemies, there is often conflict and hardship for God’s people. We should not be surprised. Believers have changed allegiance from the realm of darkness to the realm of light (Col 1:11-14), and those who rule in the realm of darkness will certainly not let us leave their power without a fight. We must stand firm in our faith, knowing that God will secure the final victory on our behalf (Exod 6:1-8; see also Matt 5:11-12; John 16:33; Rom 16:20; Eph 6:10-18).

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-newevent

וַ⁠יֵּ֨צְא֜וּ

and=they_went_out

This begins a new scene, which may need to be marked in a certain way in your language.

נֹגְשֵׂ֤י

taskmasters_of

Taskmasters were Egyptians whose job was to force the Israelites to do hard work. See how you translated this in 5:6.

כֹּ֚ה אָמַ֣ר פַּרְעֹ֔ה

thus he/it_had_said Parˊoh

This is the same quotation introduction as is used when Yahweh gives a direct command. See 4:intro for more information.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / quotations

וַ⁠יֹּאמְר֥וּ אֶל־הָ⁠עָ֖ם לֵ⁠אמֹ֑ר כֹּ֚ה אָמַ֣ר פַּרְעֹ֔ה

and=they_said to/towards the,people to=say thus he/it_had_said Parˊoh

It might be helpful in some languages to translate thus says Pharaoh as an indirect quote so that his conveyed command is not a quote within a quote. Alternate translation: “and told the people that Pharaoh says”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

אֵינֶ֛⁠נִּי

not,I

This is the beginning of a second-level quotation that continues until the end of verse 11. It may be helpful to your readers to indicate this with an opening second-level quotation mark or with whatever other punctuation or convention your language uses to indicate the start of a quotation within a quotation. However, you could also translate this as an indirect quote. See UST.

Note 4 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast

אֵינֶ֛⁠נִּי נֹתֵ֥ן לָ⁠כֶ֖ם תֶּֽבֶן

not,I give to/for=you_all straw

The structure of this phrase and the one that opens the next verse create a strong contrast between what I (Pharaoh) and you (you all, the Israelites) will do. Translate this in a way that emphasizes, if possible, the contrast between I and you. Alternative translation: “It is not I who will give you straw.”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

אֵינֶ֛⁠נִּי נֹתֵ֥ן לָ⁠כֶ֖ם תֶּֽבֶן

not,I give to/for=you_all straw

Pharaoh uses I to refer to his ownership and commands. Pharaoh does not physically give the Israelites straw. Rather, he had commanded his servants to take straw that belonged to Pharaoh and give it to the Israelites. Now he told his servants to stop providing straw. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: “My servants will no longer give you my straw”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / youdual

לָ⁠כֶ֖ם

to/for=you_all

Youis plural and refers to the Israelite people. If your language uses different forms of “you” depending on the number of people addressed, use a plural form here.
