NET © Notes

tn The imperfect tense with the conjunction is here subordinated to the preceding imperative to form the purpose clause. It can thus be translated “send…to investigate.”

tn The participle here should be given a future interpretation, meaning “which I am about to give” or “which I am going to give.”

tn Heb “one man one man of the tribe of his fathers.”
