 (δ) After with the imperfect,  ; with the perfect,  and if a man lie not in wait, &c.;.

(ε) Very frequently after a perfect consecutive (one or more) containing the condition, e.g. ...  (or shall have taken) this one also... ye shall bring down, &c.; cf. ,, , 22, 47:30, , , and probably also .—Also frequentative in reference to the past, e.g. f....  (as sometimes happened) a lion... I went out, &c.; ,  ff., ,  (the perfects consecutive being regularly continued in the apodosis by  with an imperfect ).

Rem. The perfect consecutive may be used also in the protasis to express a condition when the employment of the perfect consecutive in the apodosis has become impossible, owing to an emphatic word having to stand before it; thus in on account of ; 33:4 on account of .—In  the imperfect consecutive, contrary to what might be expected, stands in the apodosis, and when Saul saw any... valiant man, he took him unto him, where  suggests the special case, rather than a repeated occurrence; cf. . Conversely, in ( perhaps a mere mistake for ), 17:35 b an imperfect consecutive stands in the protasis.

(ζ) After various equivalents of sentences, which contain a condition; thus, after a substantive standing absolutely, or a participle (a casus pendens),  (in case such an one be found), he shall be cut off, &c.; cf. ,, , , and (after an infinitive with a preposition) ; in a wider sense also , , , ,.

(b) The perfect consecutive serves as the apodosis to causal clauses; thus e.g. after with the perfect,  f.; after  with perfect, ; after  with perfect, ; also after what are equivalent to causal clauses, e.g.  ( for thy name’s sake... pardon...);  after  with an infinitive.

(c) The perfect consecutive occurs as the apodosis to temporal clauses or their equivalents, e.g.  before they burnt the fat, the priest’s servant came (used to come), &c., hence a frequentative perfect consecutive relating to the past, as in ; also after participial clauses, e.g.  f. ,
