NETBible

I have chosen him¹ so that he may command his children and his household after him to keep² the way of the Lord by doing³ what is right and just. Then the Lord will give⁴ to Abraham what he promised⁵ him.”

NET Notes

¹tn Heb “For I have known him.” The verb יָדַע (yada’) here means “to recognize and treat in a special manner, to choose” (see Amos 3:2). It indicates that Abraham stood in a special covenantal relationship with the Lord.

²tn Heb “and they will keep.” The perfect verbal form with vav consecutive carries on the subjective nuance of the preceding imperfect verbal form (translated “so that he may command”).

³tn The infinitive construct here indicates manner, explaining how Abraham’s children and his household will keep the way of the Lord.

⁴tn Heb “bring on.” The infinitive after לְמַעַן (lÿma’an) indicates result here.

⁵tn Heb “spoke to.”
