  • Human being. Lit.: "a son of man" (CSB) >> "a human being" >> "human beings" (NIV, NLT).
  • The כִּי clause in both v. 5a and v. 5b–"that you should..." (NLT, NET, NEB)– indicates result.[1]
  1. ↑ "A result clause can be introduced by כי, notably after a question" (IBHS 38.3b). On מה followed by כי followed by yiqtol, cf. 1 Sam 18:18; 2 Kgs 8:13.
