Exodus 16:32

16:32 Moses said, “This is what the Lord has commanded: ‘Fill an omer with it to be kept for generations to come, so that they may see the food I fed you in the desert when I brought you out from the land of Egypt.’”


tn Heb “This is the thing that.”

tn Heb “for keeping.”

tn Heb “according to your generations” (see Exod 12:14).

tn In this construction after the particle expressing purpose or result, the imperfect tense has the nuance of final imperfect, equal to a subjunctive in the classical languages.
