Syntax & Misc.

Verse 18

  • Sentence Typology 1 (ק֚וּמִי שְׂאִ֣י אֶת־הַנַּ֔עַר): V-V-O
    • This clause continues the direct speech of God’s messenger from the previous verse.
    • The double imperatives with the first a verb of motion function together as one verbal idea.
  • Sentence Typology 2 (וְהַחֲזִ֥יקִי אֶת־יָדֵ֖ךְ בּ֑וֹ): V-M-O
    • The object is sequence with the beth preposition; whereas אֵת marks the preposition “with.”
  • Sentence Typology 3 (כִּֽי־לְג֥וֹי גָּד֖וֹל אֲשִׂימֶֽנּוּ): M-V-O

Verse 19

  • Sentence Typology 1 (וַיִּפְקַ֤ח אֱלֹהִים֙ אֶת־עֵינֶ֔יהָ): V-S-O
    • The final vowel of the verb is a-class because of the final guttural, ח.
  • Sentence Typology 2 (וַתֵּ֖רֶא בְּאֵ֣ר מָ֑יִם): V-O
    • The final he of ראה is apocopated because of the retraction of stress with the addition of the waw.
    • The object phrase is a construct phrase.
  • Sentence Typology 3 (וַתֵּ֜לֶךְ): V
  • Sentence Typology4 (וַתְּמַלֵּ֤א אֶת־הַחֵ֙מֶת֙ מַ֔יִם): V-O-M
    • The Piel causative is used to denote the filling up of something (GKC 117cc).
  • Sentence Typology 5 (וַתַּ֖שְׁקְ אֶת־הַנָּֽעַר): V-O
    • As in the second clause above, apocopation causes the deletion of the final he of the verbal root.

Verse 20

  • Sentence Typology 1 (וַיְהִ֧י אֱלֹהִ֛ים אֶת־הַנַּ֖עַר): V-S-M
    • The אֵת serves as the preposition, “with.”
  • Sentence Typology 2 (וַיִּגְדָּ֑ל): V
  • Sentence Typology 3 (וַיֵּ֙שֶׁב֙ בַּמִּדְבָּ֔ר): V-M
  • Sentence Typology 4 (וַיְהִ֖י רֹבֶ֥ה קַשָּֽׁת): V-SC
    • The final two nominals (substantive participle and noun) are appositional.  GKC notes that the apposition probably denotes an explanative gloss (131b).

Verse 21

  • Sentence Typology 1 (וַיֵּ֖שֶׁב בְּמִדְבַּ֣ר פָּארָ֑ן): V-M
    • The difference between the absolute form, בַּמִּדְבָּ֔ר, from verse 20 and the construct form, בְּמִדְבַּ֣ר, is the vowel reduction on the ultimate (both words are definite—the first because of the patah under the beth and the second because it is in construct with a proper name, פארן).
  • Sentence Typology 2 (וַתִּֽקַּֽח־ל֥וֹ אִמּ֛וֹ אִשָּׁ֖ה מֵאֶ֥רֶץ מִצְרָֽיִם): V-IO-O-M
    • The feminine subject of לקח is חגר “Hagar.”
