6, 2), Gen 30:3; Gen 31:51 (twice in verse); Exod 24:8 etc. With suffix of 1 person, especially in response to

Ezek 34:11;
Ezek 34:20,
compare Ezek 6:3. on
חִנְנִי אֶל ֗֗֗ , see

4, p. 40.
b. introducing clauses involving predication:
(a)
with reference to the past or present, it points generally to some truth either newly asserted, or newly
recognized,
Gen 1:29
behold ! I have given to you all herbs etc. Gen 17:20; Gen 27:6; 1Sam 14:33 etc.; often one upon
which some proposal
or suggestion is to be founded, Exod 1:9 (compare הן
Gen 11:6) 1Sam 20:2; 1Sam 20:5; 2Kgs 5:20.
When
the proposal is to be of the nature of an entreaty or request, הִנֵּהנָֿא is often used,
instead of
the simple הִנֵּה
Gen 12:11;
Gen 16:2; Gen 18:7; 1Kgs 20:31
;
1Kgs 22:13
and elsewhere (see
נָא
).
(b) with reference to the future. Here it serves to introduce a solemn or
important
declaration Exod
32:34;
Exod
34:10; Isa
7:14 and is used especially with the participle (the futuram instans [immanent
future], Dr§ 135. 3) in predictions or threats, Gen 20:3
הִנְּךָ מֵת (literally) behold thee (accusative) about to die, thou art
about to die, Exod
4:23
; Exod 7:17
;
Exod 9:3; Deut 31:17;
1Sam 3:11; 1Kgs 20:36
;
1Kgs 22:25
;
Isa 3:1; Isa 10:33;
Isa 17:1; Isa 19:1; Isa 22:17;
Isa 24:1 +
often;
in the phrase הנה
ימים באים
1Sam 2:31; 2Kgs 20:17
=
Isa 39:6; Amos 4:2; Amos 8:11;
Amos 9:13 +
Jer 15 t.;
very
often with the suffix of 1 person singular, as הִנְנִי מֵבִיא
Behold, I bring (literally behold me bringing, or about
to
bring) . . . Gen 6:17; Exod 10:4 & often, especially in Jeremiah; Gen 9:9; Exod 8:17; Exod 9:18; Exod 34:11; Exod 2:20;
Exod 29:14;
Exod 43:19;
Exod 11:22
(
הִנְנִי פֹקֵד; so Jer 23:2 +) Jer 16:16; Jer 20:4, etc.; anomalously, with change of person, Isa 28:16
הִנְנִי יִסַּד (according to points) behold me, one who has
founded, Isa 29:14
הִנְנִי יוֺסִף
behold me, one who will add (so Isa 38:5); but it is dubious whether
the participle
יֹסֵד, יוֺסֵף should not be read.
c.
וְהִנֵּה ֗֗֗ very frequently in historical style, especially (but not exclusively) after verbs
of
seeing or discovering, making the narrative graphic and vivid, and
enabling the reader to enter into the surprise or satisfaction of the speaker or actor concerned: Gen 1:31 and
behold, it was very good, Gen 6:12; Gen 8:13; Gen 15:12; Gen 18:2; Gen 37:29; Exod 2:6; Deut 9:13 etc.: in the description of a dream Gen 37:7; Gen 37:9; Gen 40:9; Gen 40:16; Gen 41:1; Gen 41:2; Gen 41:3; Isa 29:8, or of
a vision Amos 7:1
; Amos 7:4; Amos 8:1 etc. With
a participle (the context
fixing the sense to the past), Gen 24:30; Gen 37:15 (both without suffix); Judg 9:43; Judg 11:34; 1Kgs 19:5; 1Kgs 19:11
+.
d. like II. הֵן
(b), nearly = if (rare): Lev 13:5; Lev 13:6; Lev 13:7; Lev 13:8 (& elsewhere in this and
the next
chapter) וְהִנֵּה
and behold = and if, Deut 13:15 and Deut 17:4
וְהִנֵּה אֱמֶת
and behold it is true = and if it be true, Deut 19:18; 1Sam 20:12
compare 1Sam 9:7;
2Sam 18:11
; Hos 9:6.
