Exodus 7:9

Context
7:9 “When Pharaoh says to you, ‘Do 1  a miracle,’ and you say to Aaron, ‘Take your staff and throw it down 2  before Pharaoh,’ it will become 3  a snake.”

1 tn The verb is תְּנוּ (tÿnu), literally “give.” The imperative is followed by an ethical dative that strengthens the subject of the imperative: “you give a miracle.”

2 tn Heb “and throw it.” The direct object, “it,” is implied.

3 tn The form is the jussive יְהִי ( yÿhi). Gesenius notes that frequently in a conditional clause, a sentence with a protasis and apodosis, the jussive will be used. Here it is in the apodosis (GKC 323 §109.h).
