NET Notes

¹tn In view of the use of the verb “can, be able to” in the first clause, this imperfect tense is given a potential nuance.

²tn Gesenius notes that sometimes a negative statement takes the place of a conditional clause; here it is equal to “if a man sees me he does not live” (GKC 498 §159.gg). The other passages that teach this are Gen 32:30; Deut 4:33, 5:24, 26; Judg 6:22, 13:22, and Isa 6:5.
