FOOTNOTES:
F21 (emv ytlbl) "ita ut non auscultetis", Piscator, Cocceius; "ut non obediatis", Pagninus, Schmidt; "ut non audiatis", so some in Vatablus.
But if ye say, we will not dwell in this land

voice of the Lord; they had promised they would; but resolving,
against his declared will, that they would not abide in the land,
but go into Egypt, was interpretatively saying they would not
obey his voice.
