Psalm 46/Notes/Verbal.v. 9.335165
From Psalms: Layer by Layer
Other notable features include the imperatives Come! Perceive! (לכו־וראו), which is a case of the serial verb construction. In the text, these imperatives are made one prosodic word with the maqqef.[1]
- ↑ Cf. δεῦτε ἴδετε. The imperative almost seems like a הנה/ראה type of mirative marker. Cf. לכו וראו (Ps 66:5); לכו־נא ונוכחה (Isa 1:18); and לכו ונלכה (1 Sam 9:9), etc.
