Conjunctive waw | Verb - Hifil - Conjunctive imperfect - third person masculine singular | first person common plural

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

This form carries the BSB rendering "and proclaim" 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 hypothetical proclamation of the command from beyond the sea

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

It presents the proposed messenger as making the word heard by the community so that they may obey it.

The Hifil form does not by itself define the theology of revelation or obedience; the surrounding argument does that work.

High: The form names the hypothetical proclamation that would make the command heard by the people in the sea-crossing question.

Conjunctive Hifil imperfect with community recipient suffix. identifies the community as recipients of the proclaimed word. Attached to the and proclaim clause. Governed by the question about bringing the command from beyond the sea. The clause is hypothetical; the command's nearness is the larger argument.

Who would hear the word if someone brought it from beyond the sea? The community would hear it, so that they may obey it.

Direct: The form and suffix support a rendering such as and proclaim it to us.

Hifil supports make-heard or proclaim force here, but English wording follows the clause. The first-person plural suffix marks the recipient community. The rhetorical question frames the action as hypothetical and inaccessible only in the imagined objection.

Hifil alone proves the doctrine of revelation: The Hifil form contributes to the proclamation clause; Deuteronomy 30 carries the theological argument.

The BSB+ row for Deuteronomy 30:13 links the English rendering "and proclaim" with וְיַשְׁמִעֵ֥נוּ, Strong's H8085, and the parsing label Conj-w | V-Hifil-ConjImperf-3ms | 1cp.

H8085 is represented here by the lemma שָׁמַע. In this occurrence, the public guide is limited to the BSB rendering "and proclaim" rather than every possible gloss of the entry.

The Hifil form supports the idea of making the word heard or proclaiming it to the people. The first-person plural suffix identifies the community as recipient within 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 imagined crossing is about the word being made heard to the community.

Do not derive a full word study, grammar doctrine, or passage theology from Conj-w | V-Hifil-ConjImperf-3ms | 1cp alone. Deuteronomy 30 supplies the rhetorical question and proclamation setting.
