Discovery Box| (0.30) | (Exo 7:10) | 1 tn The clause begins with the preterite and the vav (ו) consecutive; it is here subordinated to the next clause as a temporal clause. |
| (0.30) | (Exo 6:12) | 3 tn The final clause begins with a disjunctive vav (ו), a vav on a nonverb form—here a pronoun. It introduces a circumstantial causal clause. |
| (0.30) | (Exo 4:14) | 5 tn The particle הִנֵּה (hinneh) with the participle points to the imminent future; it means “he is about to come” or “here he is coming.” |
| (0.30) | (Exo 4:11) | 1 tn The verb שִׂים (sim) means “to place, put, set”; the sentence here more precisely says, “Who put a mouth into a man?” |
| (0.30) | (Exo 3:18) | 5 tn Here a cohortative with a vav (ו) follows a cohortative; the second one expresses purpose or result: “let us go…in order that we may.” |
| (0.30) | (Exo 3:18) | 4 tn The form used here is the cohortative of הָלַךְ (halakh). It could be a resolve, but more likely before Pharaoh it is a request. |

| (0.30) | (Exo 2:4) | 3 tn The verb is a Niphal imperfect; it should be classified here as a historic future, future from the perspective of a point in a past time narrative. |
| (0.30) | (Exo 1:18) | 1 tn The verb קָרָא (qaraʾ) followed by the lamed (ל) preposition has here the nuance of “summon.” The same construction is used later when Pharaoh summons Moses. |
| (0.30) | (Gen 46:7) | 1 tn The Hebrew text adds “with him” here. This is omitted in the translation because it is redundant in English style (note the same phrase earlier in the verse). |
| (0.30) | (Gen 45:8) | 1 tn Heb “a father.” The term is used here figuratively of one who gives advice, as a father would to his children. |
