2. an angel of Yahweh. For more on the enigmatic role of an “angel of Yahweh” in the Hebrew Bible, and for the reason it should be translated as “an angel” rather than “the angel” in this verse, see Meier, S. A. "Angel of Yahweh". In Toorn, Becking, and van der Horst (1999), Dictionary of Deities and Demons in the Bible. Second Extensively Revised Edition.

3, 4. Where I follow the ASV in reading “turn(ed) aside”, the WEB reads “go” (vs. 3) and “came” (vs. 4).

5. from upon your feet. The WEB omits these words, while the ASV retains them as they are in the Masoretic Text.

14. I am who I am … I am. ASV, WEB present these words in all capital letters.
