NET © Notes

tn The imperfect here has an injunctive force.

tn After the injunctive imperfect, this imperfect with vav indicates purpose or result.

tn The Niphal form of the verb has the sense of “to be faithful; to be sure; to be reliable.” Joseph will test his brothers to see if their words are true.

tn Heb “and they did so.”
