2 Chronicles 1:10

Context
1:10 Now give me wisdom and discernment so 1  I can effectively lead this nation. 2  Otherwise 3  no one is able 4  to make judicial decisions for 5  this great nation of yours.” 6 

1 tn The cohortative with prefixed vav (ו) following the imperative here indicates purpose/result.

2 tn Heb “so I may go out before this nation and come in.” The expression “go out…and come in” here means “to lead” (see HALOT 425 s.v. יצא qal.4).

3 tn Heb “for.” The word “otherwise” is used to reflect the logical sense of the statement.

4 tn Heb “who is able?” The rhetorical question anticipates the answer, “no one.”

5 tn Heb “to judge.”

6 tn Heb “these numerous people of yours.”
