Consequential Sentence
§ 150. Lighter ways of expressing consequence are the use of vav impf. and vav perf. Also use of simple vav וְ with impf. (juss.) after neg. sent. as Numbers 23:19 לֹא אִישׁ אֵל וִֽיכַזֵב God is not a man so that he should lie. So interrog. sent., Hosea 14:9.
More formal particles of consequence are כִּי that, אְַשֶׁר that, so that. 2 Kings 5:7 הַֽאֱלֹהִים אָנִי כִּי־זֶה שֹׁלֵחַ אֵלַי am I God, that this person sends to me? And often in questions, Genesis 20:10, Exodus 3:11, Numbers 16:11, Job 6:11; Job 7:12, Psalms 8:4.—Genesis 40:15 I have done nothing כִּי־שָׂמוּ אֹתִי בַּבּוֹר that they should have put. With אשׁר, 2 Kings 9:37 אְַשֶׁר לֹא־יֹֽאמְרוּ זֹאת אִיזֶבֶל so that they shall not say, This is Jez. Genesis 22:14, Deuteronomy 28:27, Deuteronomy 28:51, Malachi 4:1, Psalms 95:11, 1 Kings 3:12, 1 Kings 3:13.—Ezekiel 36:27 וְעָשִׂיתִי את אשׁר תֵּלֵֽכוּ I will cause that ye shall walk (sent. of consequence construed as object sent.).
