[10:29]  1 tn Heb “Thus you have spoken.”

[10:29]  2 tn This is a verbal hendiadys construction: “I will not add again [to] see.”

[33:17]  3 tn The verb in this place is a preterite with the vav (ו) consecutive, judging from the pointing. It then follows in sequence the verb “you have found favor,” meaning you stand in that favor, and so it means “I have known you” and still do (equal to the present perfect). The emphasis, however, is on the results of the action, and so “I know you.”
