Note for v. 44

Associate with v-44-None

This is the only instance of 3mpl yiqtol שׁתה with energic nun (cf. Deut 32:38; Isa 24:9; 62:8; 65:13; Jer 49:12; Ezek 4:16; 12:19; 25:4; 44:21; Amos 2:8; Obad 16; Jonah 3:7; Zeph 1:13; Ps 75:0; Prov 4:17). For the ability modality, see also the CEB, CSB, DHH, EÜ, ESV, ELB, KJV, Luther 2017, NABRE, NASB, NBS, NET, NFC, NIV, PDV, SG21, ZÜR (cf. Ḥakham 1979, 53: וְאֶת מֵימֵיהֶם לֹא יָכְלוּ לִשְׁתּוֹת ""and their waters they were not able to drink""). Alternatively, for a result reading, see the interpretation of the LXX and Jerome's Hebr.: ὅπως μὴ πίωσιν/ut non biberent ""so that they might not drink.""


Note for v. 44

Associate with v-44-None

On the the interpretation of wayyiqtol introducing ""unordered addition"" and elaborative specification, see Khan (forthcoming, Vayyiqṭol, 58-60); cf. 2 Sam 12:8; 1 Kgs 18:13. See also v. 5 above. Here, as in v. 5, the Syr. provides the complementizer ܕ, with the reading ܕܗܦܟ ܢܗܪ̈ܘܬܗܘܢ ܠܕܡܐ ""such that he changed their rivers into blood.""
