 Cf. also followed by a  in, and  ,.

(4) When it governs independent sentences (cf. § 155), which virtually stand to the construct state (as nomen regens) in a sort of genitive relation, e.g.  prop. by the hand of him whom thou wilt send;  that which he shall show me, i.e. whatever he shall;  ;,  (if the text be right), 65:5 , ,  the place of him that knoweth not God; ,  (if the text be right) into the hands of those against whom I cannot stand. In  the  takes after it a noun-clause, and in, still more boldly, a subst. with .—Very often a time-determination governs the following sentence in this way; thus followed by a perfect,, ;   (before a noun-clause), , , , , , ,  (in every case before a following perfect),  (before an imperfect);  followed by the perfect, ;  , ,  (... ; cf.  and  before a perfect, );  before a perfect,  (cf. 49:8, 50:31); before an imperfect, ;  before a perfect.

(5) Connected with a following word in apposition; certainly so in such cases as, ; cf. 23:12, ; also ; cf. .—, (but read probably  with Moore, as in, , ); ,  ; ,  (?), 78:9,  b (unless  or  be a gloss).

Rem. Some of the above passages may also be explained by supposing that there exists a real genitive relation towards the preceding construct state, which has been, as it were, provisionally left in suspenso, in consequence of the insertion of some interrupting word, e.g., &c.; a. Elsewhere the  probably governs the following construct state directly.
