  2. 79 Heb “add to see my face.” The construction uses a verbal hendiadys: “do not add to see” (אַל־תֹּסֶף רְאוֹת, ’al-toseph ré’ot), meaning “do not see again.” The phrase “see my face” means “come before me” or “appear before me.”
  3. 80 The construction is בְּיוֹם רְאֹתְךָ (béyom ré’otékha), an adverbial clause of time made up of the prepositional phrase, the infinitive construct, and the suffixed subjective genitive. “In the day of your seeing” is “when you see.”
