3:40 Let us carefully examine our ways, 1
and let us return to the Lord.
3:50 until the Lord looks down from heaven
and sees what has happened. 2
1 tn Heb “Let us test our ways and examine.” The two verbs וְנַחְקֹרָה…נַחְפְּשָׂה (nakhpÿsah…vÿnakhqorah, “Let us test and let us examine”) form a verbal hendiadys in which the first functions adverbially and the second retains its full verbal force: “Let us carefully examine our ways.”
2 tn The phrase “what has happened” is added in the translation for smoother English style and readability.
