[4:8] 1 tn Heb “and it will be if.”
[4:8] 2 tn Heb “listen to the voice of,” meaning listen so as to respond appropriately.
[4:8] 3 tn The nuance of this perfect tense with a vav (ו) consecutive will be equal to the imperfect of possibility – “they may believe.”
[4:8] 4 tn Heb “believe the voice of the latter sign,” so as to understand and accept the meaning of the event.
[7:9] 5 tn The verb is תְּנוּ (tÿnu), literally “give.” The imperative is followed by an ethical dative that strengthens the subject of the imperative: “you give a miracle.”
[7:9] 6 tn Heb “and throw it.” The direct object, “it,” is implied.
[7:9] 7 tn The form is the jussive יְהִי ( yÿhi). Gesenius notes that frequently in a conditional clause, a sentence with a protasis and apodosis, the jussive will be used. Here it is in the apodosis (GKC 323 §109.h).
