NET Notes |
1 tn The imperfect here has an injunctive force. 2 tn After the injunctive imperfect, this imperfect with vav indicates purpose or result. 3 tn The Niphal form of the verb has the sense of “to be faithful; to be sure; to be reliable.” Joseph will test his brothers to see if their words are true. 4 tn Heb “and they did so.” |
