Footnotes

  1. 7 Or “I am sending.” The form is a preterite with the vav consecutive; it could be rendered as an English present tense—as the Hebrew perfect/preterite allows—much like an epistolary aorist in Greek. The form assumes the temporal perspective of the one who reads the message.
  2. 8 The words “this message” are not in the Hebrew text, but have been supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.
