 Is. 25:9, Jer. 8:23; 9:1; 20:10 (after אוּלַי , cf. coh. Ex. 32:30), Ps. 55:7, Job 6:9, 10; 13:5; 22:28; 23:3–5; 16:20, 21 my eye drops (=a prayer) that he would vindicate.

(c) After neg. sentences. Nu. 23:19 לֹא אִישׁ אֵל וִֽיכַזֵּב  God is not a man, that he should lie; cf. inf. 1 S. 15:29. Ps. 51:18 לֹא תַחְפֹּץ זֶבַח וְאֶתֵּֽנָה  thou desirest not sacrifice, that I should give it. 2 K. 3:11, Is. 53:2, Ps. 49:8–10; 55:13. Without and, Job 9:33 there is no daysman, that he might lay his hand upon us both. So v. 32.

(d) After interrog. sentences. 1 K. 22:20 מִי יְפַתֶּה אֶת־אַחְאָב וְיַעַל  who will entice Ahab to go up? Am. 8:5 מָתַי יַֽעֲבֹר הַחֹדֶשׁ וְנַשְׁבִּירָה שֶּׁבֶר  when will the new moon be over, that we may sell corn? Ex. 2:7, 1 S. 20:4, 1 K. 12:9 (cf. inf. v. 6), 2 K. 3:11. Is. 19:12; 40:25; 41:26, 28, Jer. 23:18 (rd. last word וְיַשׁמע , cf. v. 22), Hos. 14:10 (Jer. 9:11), Jon. 1:11, Lam. 2:13, Job 41:3, Est. 5:3, 6.

Instead of vav with juss. or coh, the more vigorous imper. with vav may be found in the above cases, a–d. Gen. 20:7; 45:18, Ex. 3:10, 2 S. 21:3, 1 K. 1:12, 2 K. 5:10; 18:32; Ps. 128:5, Job 11:6, Ru. 1:9.

Rem. 1. Additional exx. of § 65a. Gen. 13:9; 18:30; 19:20; 27:21; 30:25, 28; 42:20, Ex. 8:4; 14:15, 16, Nu. 14:42; 21:7; 25:4, Deu. 1:42; 5:28, 1 S. 9:27; 11:3; 15:16; 17:10; 18:21; 28:7, 2 S. 14:7; 16:11, 1 K. 13:6, 18; 18:27, 2 K. 5:8; 6:22, Is. 2:3; 5:19; 55:3, Jer. 37:20; 38:24, Hos. 2:4, Ps. 45:12; 81:9, 11; 83:5; 90:14, Job 13:13.

In the cases a–d, Ar. uses fa with subjun. Occasionally Heb. uses vav with volunt. to express design even after the indic. in the past, as Lam. 1:19 בִּקְשׁוּ אֹכֶל וְיָשִׁיבוּ  they sought food that they might revive their soul (cf. inf. v. 11). Is. 25:9, 1 K. 13:33, 2 K. 19:25.

Rem. 2. The idea of design expressed by the consn. is illustrated by its interchange with ל  and inf., e.g. 1 K. 12:6 inf. with v. 9 juss., 1 K. 22:7 with v. 8, cf. Deu.
