| NET Notes |
1 tn Or “for,” if the particle is understood as causal (as many English translations do) rather than asseverative. 2 sn For a discussion of the term prophet see N. Walker, “What is a Nabhi?” ZAW 73 (1961): 99-100. 3 tn After the preceding jussive (or imperfect), the imperative with vav conjunctive here indicates result. 3 sn He will pray for you that you may live. Abraham was known as a man of God whose prayer would be effectual. Ironically and sadly, he was also known as a liar. 4 tn Heb “if there is not you returning.” The suffix on the particle becomes the subject of the negated clause. 5 tn The imperfect is preceded by the infinitive absolute to make the warning emphatic. |
