Discovery Box| (0.35) | (Gen 32:18) | 1 tn The form is the perfect tense with the vav (ו) consecutive; it has the nuance of an imperfect of instruction. |
| (0.35) | (Gen 32:12) | 3 tn The form is the perfect tense with a vav (ו) consecutive, carrying the nuance of the preceding verb forward. |
| (0.35) | (Gen 31:14) | 1 tn The two nouns may form a hendiadys, meaning “a share in the inheritance” or “a portion to inherit.” |
| (0.35) | (Gen 30:3) | 2 tn After the imperative, the prefixed verbal form with the conjunction indicates the immediate purpose of the proposed activity. |
| (0.35) | (Gen 27:30) | 1 tn The use of the infinitive absolute before the finite form of the verb makes the construction emphatic. |
| (0.35) | (Gen 19:22) | 1 tn Heb “Be quick! Escape to there!” The two imperatives form a verbal hendiadys, the first becoming adverbial. |
| (0.35) | (Gen 19:2) | 2 tn These two verbs form a verbal hendiadys: “you can rise up early and go” means “you can go early.” |
| (0.35) | (Gen 17:6) | 1 tn This verb starts a series of perfect verbal forms with vav (ו) consecutive to express God’s intentions. |
| (0.35) | (Gen 17:5) | 3 tn The perfect verbal form is used here in a rhetorical manner to emphasize God’s intention. |
| (0.35) | (Gen 10:2) | 1 sn The Greek form of the name Japheth, Iapetos, is used in Greek tradition for the ancestor of the Greeks. |
| (0.35) | (Gen 9:13) | 3 tn The perfect verbal form with vav (ו) consecutive here has the same aspectual function as the preceding perfect of certitude. |
| (0.35) | (Isa 63:3) | 2 tn Heb “and I stained.” For discussion of the difficult verb form, see HALOT 170 s.v. II גאל. Perhaps the form is mixed, combining the first person forms of the imperfect (note the alef prefix) and perfect (note the תי- ending). |
| (0.35) | (Isa 52:5) | 2 tn The verb appears to be a Hiphil form from the root יָלַל (yalal, “howl”), perhaps here in the sense of “mock.” Some emend the form to יְהוֹלָלוֹ (yeholalo) and understand a Polel form of the root הָלַל meaning here “mock, taunt.” |
| (0.35) | (Isa 19:6) | 2 tn The verb form appears as a Hiphil in the Qumran scroll 1QIsaa; the form in MT may be a so-called “mixed form,” reflecting the Hebrew Hiphil stem and the functionally corresponding Aramaic Aphel stem. See HALOT 276 s.v. I זנח. |
| (0.35) | (Pro 8:12) | 1 tn The verb שָׁכַנְתִּי (shakanti) is a perfect form which should normally be past or perfective. Some of this root’s perfect forms follow stative morphology (though the imperfect forms consistently use the morphology of dynamic verbs). The meanings of some verbs drift across the stative vs. dynamic boundary over time. If interpreted as a stative verb, it would be present tense. |
| (0.35) | (Psa 22:29) | 2 tn Heb “eat and worship.” The verb forms (a perfect followed by a prefixed form with vav [ו] consecutive) are normally used in narrative to relate completed actions. Here the psalmist uses the forms rhetorically as he envisions a time when the Lord will receive universal worship. The mood is one of wishful thinking and anticipation; this is not prophecy in the strict sense. |
| (0.35) | (2Ch 18:29) | 1 tn The Hebrew verbal forms could be imperatives (“Disguise yourself and enter”), but this would make no sense in light of the immediately following context. The forms are better interpreted as infinitives absolute functioning as cohortatives (see IBHS 594 §35.5.2a). Some prefer to emend the forms to imperfects. |
| (0.35) | (2Ki 6:21) | 1 tn Heb “Should I strike them down? I will strike them down.” In the Hebrew text the first person imperfect form is repeated; the first form has the interrogative he prefixed to it; the second does not. It is likely that the second form should be omitted as dittographic or that the first should be emended to an infinitive absolute. |
| (0.35) | (1Ki 22:30) | 1 tn The Hebrew verbal forms could be imperatives (“Disguise yourself and enter”), but this would make no sense in light of the immediately following context. The forms are better interpreted as infinitives absolute functioning as cohortatives. See IBHS 594 §35.5.2a. Some prefer to emend the forms to imperfects. |
| (0.35) | (Jdg 5:13) | 2 tn The translation assumes a repointing of the verb as a perfect or imperfect/preterite form of יָרַד (yarad, “to go down”). The form as pointed in the MT appears to be from רָדָה (radah, “to rule”). See GKC 188 §69.g. The same form, translated “came down,” occurs in the next line as well. |
