Footnotes

  1. 45 The construction uses a perfect verb followed by the imperfect. This is a form of subordination equivalent to a complementary infinitive (see §120.c).
  2. 46 The words “if I did” are supplied in the translation to make sense out of the two clauses.
  3. 47 Heb “quickly carry me away.”
