NET © Notes |
1 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.” 2 tn The participle here should be given a future interpretation, meaning “which I am about to give” or “which I am going to give.” 3 tn Heb “one man one man of the tribe of his fathers.” |
