1 Samuel 3:17

Context
3:17 Eli 1  said, “What message did he speak to you? Don’t conceal it from me. God will judge you severely 2  if you conceal from me anything that he said to you!”

1 tn Heb “he”; the referent (Eli) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

2 tn Heb “So God will do to you and thus he will add.” The verbal forms in this pronouncement are imperfects, not jussives, but the statement has the force of a curse or warning. One could translate, “May God do to you and thus may he add.”
