Lamentations 3:40

נ (Nun)

3:40 Let us carefully examine our ways,

and let us return to the Lord.


tn Heb “Let us test our ways and examine.” The two verbs וְנַחְקֹרָהנַחְפְּשָׂה (nakhpÿsahvÿnakhqorah, “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.”
