20:9For six days26 you may labor27 and do all your work,28

Read in Logos

Footnotes

  1. 26 The text has simply “six days,” but this is an adverbial accusative of time, answering how long they were to work ( §118.k).
  2. 27 The imperfect tense has traditionally been rendered as a commandment, “you will labor.” But the point of this commandment is the prohibition of work on the seventh day. The permission nuance of the imperfect works well here.
  3. 28 This is the occupation, or business of the work week.
