Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Conjunctive imperfect - first person common plural | third person feminine singular

The conjunctive imperfect is bound to the surrounding purpose or response clause, so the sentence determines its force.

This form carries the BSB rendering "that we may obey it" within Deuteronomy 30:13. Deuteronomy 30 gathers covenant return, the nearness of the command, love for the Lord, obedience, and the call to choose life.

The purpose clause about obeying the word brought from beyond the sea

Moses' argument that the command is not inaccessible beyond the sea

It names obedience as the intended response if someone were to cross, bring the word, and proclaim it.

The form does not by itself define covenant obedience; the surrounding Deuteronomy argument supplies that frame.

High: The form states the intended covenant response in the second inaccessibility question of Deuteronomy 30.

Conjunctive Qal imperfect with community subject and object suffix. expresses obedience as the response to the proclaimed word. Attached to the that we may obey it clause. Governed by the question about bringing the command from beyond the sea. The suffix points to the command or word in context; the rhetorical question controls the force.

Why would the word need to be brought and proclaimed? So the community may obey it.

Direct: The subject and suffix directly support that we may obey it.

The suffix should be read with the command or word in context. The imperfect contributes to purpose or response in the rhetorical question. The grammar does not make obedience inaccessible; the argument is that the word is near.

A purpose clause can be interpreted without the surrounding rhetorical question: The clause must be read within Deuteronomy 30's argument that the command is near enough to hear and obey.

The BSB+ row for Deuteronomy 30:13 links the English rendering "that we may obey it" with וְנַעֲשֶֽׂנָּה׃, Strong's H6213, and the parsing label Conj-w | V-Qal-ConjImperf-1cp | 3fs.

H6213 is represented here by the lemma עָשָׂה. In this occurrence, the public guide is limited to the BSB rendering "that we may obey it" rather than every possible gloss of the entry.

The first-person plural form voices the community's response, and the third-person feminine suffix points to the command or word in context. The conjunctive imperfect works inside the purpose movement of the rhetorical question.

Deuteronomy 30 gathers covenant return, the nearness of the command, love for the Lord, obedience, and the call to choose life.

The form fits Deuteronomy's covenant pattern: redemption is remembered, the command is heard, and obedience is taught as life before the Lord.

Use this form to show that the hypothetical crossing exists only to make the word heard and obeyed.

Do not derive a full word study, grammar doctrine, or passage theology from Conj-w | V-Qal-ConjImperf-1cp | 3fs alone. Deuteronomy 30 supplies the command and purpose-response setting.
