But if the servant should declare, 1  ‘I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out 2  free,’

NET © Notes

1 tn The imperfect with the infinitive absolute means that the declaration is unambiguous, that the servant will clearly affirm that he wants to stay with the master. Gesenius says that in a case like this the infinitive emphasizes the importance of the condition on which some consequence depends (GKC 342-43 §113.o).

2 tn Or taken as a desiderative imperfect, it would say, “I do not want to go out free.”
