37:20But now please listen, your royal Majesty,39 and grant my plea for mercy.40 Do not send me back to the house of Jonathan, the royal secretary. If you do, I will die there.”41
Footnotes
- 39 Heb “My lord, the king.”
- 40 Heb “let my plea for mercy fall before you.” I.e., let it come before you and be favorably received (= granted; by metonymical extension).
- 41 Or “So that I will not die there,” or “or I will die there”; Heb “and I will not die there.” The particle that introduces this clause (וְלֹא) regularly introduces negative purpose clauses after the volitive sequence (אַל [’al] + jussive here) according to §109.g. However, purpose and result clauses in Hebrew (and Greek) are often indistinguishable. Here the clause is more in the nature of a negative result.
