Other Explanation
6:28“Now then, be good enough to look93 at me;94
and I will not95 lie to your face!
Footnotes
- 93 The second verb, the imperative “turn,” is subordinated to the first imperative even though there is no vav present (see §120.a, g).
- 94 The line has “and now, be pleased, turn to me [i.e., face me].” The reverses the idea, “And now, having looked upon your countenances, I will not lie.” The expression “turn to me” means essentially to turn the eyes toward someone to look at him.
- 95 The construction uses אִם (’im) as in a negative oath to mark the strong negative. He is underscoring his sincerity here. See M. R. Lehmann, “Biblical Oaths,” 81 (1969): 74–92.
