[13:2]  ¹ tn The imperfect tense with the conjunction is here subordinated to the preceding imperative to form the purpose clause. It can thus be translated “send…to investigate.”

[13:2]  ² tn The participle here should be given a future interpretation, meaning “which I am about to give” or “which I am going to give.”

[13:2]  ³ tn Heb “one man one man of the tribe of his fathers.”

[21:23]  ⁴ tn Heb “Sihon.”

[21:23]  ⁵ tn Heb “people.”

[21:23]  ⁶ tn The clause begins with a preterite with vav (ו) consecutive, but may be subordinated to the next preterite as a temporal clause.

[32:9]  ⁷ tn The preterite with vav (ו) consecutive is here subordinated to the parallel yet chronologically later verb in the next clause.

[32:9]  ⁸ tn The infinitive construct here with lamed (ל) is functioning as a result clause.

[32:9]  ⁹ tn The Lord had not given it yet, but was going to give it. Hence, the perfect should be classified as a perfect of resolve.
