Deuteronomy 9:19

19 For I was terrified at the Lord’s intense anger ^{▼▼ Heb “the anger and the wrath.” Although many English versions translate as two terms, this construction is a hendiadys which serves to intensify the emotion (cf. NAB, TEV “fierce anger”).} that threatened to destroy you. But he ^{▼▼ Heb “the Lord.” See note on “he” in 9:3.} listened to me this time as well.
