Exodus 9:16

16. And in very deed for this cause have I raised thee up Literally, made thee stand, kept thee standing, or preserved thee alive, after thy life was forfeited . So, substantially, the Septuagint, Targ . of Onkelos, and Palestinian, Arabic, and Syriac versions . The Palestinian Targum well paraphrases both verses thus: “Now could I send the plague of my strength by judgment to strike thee and thy people with death, and destroy thee from the earth, but verily I have spared thee alive, not that I may benefit thee, but that my power may be made manifest to thee,” etc.
