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.).
