UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

(Occurrence 0) Who will protect us from the strength of these mighty gods?

(Some words not found in UHB: woe to/for=us who? deliver,us from,hand the=ʼElohīm the,mighty the=these these they the=ʼElohīm the,struck DOM from_Miʦrayim/(Miʦrayim/(Egypt))s in=all plagues in/on/at/with,wilderness )

This rhetorical question is an expression of deep fear. It can be written as a statement. Alternate translation: “There is no one who can protect us from these mighty gods.”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / pronouns

(Occurrence 0) these mighty gods … the gods who attacked

Because the word “god” (or “God”) in 4:7 is singular, many translations read “this mighty god … the god who attacked,” referring to any one of many possible gods, or “this mighty God … the God who attacked,” using the proper name of the God of Israel.
