NET Notes

¹tn The clause introduced by vav (ו) consecutive is translated as a temporal clause subordinated to the following clause.

²tn The deictic particle הִנֵּה (hinneh) draws attention to the olive leaf. It invites readers to enter into the story, as it were, and look at the olive leaf with their own eyes.
