verse 32 a second jussive follows, likewise without Wāw, for he is not a man, as I am, that I should answer him, that we should come together in judgement). On the imperfect consecutive as expressing a logical consequence, see § 111 l; on the perfect consecutive as a consecutive clause after a participle, see § 112 n.

 [b]  2. Conjunctions introducing consecutive clauses are again (see § 157 c, note 3) כִּי and אֲשֶׁר=so that; especially again after interrogative sentences, according to § 107 u; cf. Nu 16¹¹, כִּי with the imperfect, that ye murmur; but in Gn 20¹⁰ with the perfect, in reference to an action already completed. On אֲשֶׁר with the imperfect (or jussive) equivalent to so that, cf. further Gn 13¹⁶, 22¹⁴; with perfect and imperfect, 1 K 3^{12 f.}, with the demonstrative force clearly discernible, depending on לֵב; on אֲשֶׁר לֹא=ut non, cf. Dt 28³⁵, 1 K 3⁸, 2 K 9³⁷.

On מִן with a substantive or infinitive as the equivalent of a consecutive clause, see § 119 y.

§167. Aposiopesis, Anacoluthon, Involved Series of Sentences.

 [a]  1. Aposiopesis is the concealment or suppression of entire sentences or clauses, which are of themselves necessary to complete the sense,^[1] and therefore must be supplied from the context. This is especially frequent after conditional clauses; besides the examples already given in § 159 dd, cf. also Ex 32³² (the LXX and Samaritan supply שָׂא); Nu 5²⁰, Ju 9¹⁶ (in verse 19, after a long parenthesis, an imperative follows as the apodosis to this conditional clause); 1 S 12¹⁴ f., 2 S 5⁸ (where indeed the text is probably very corrupt; cf. the addition in 1 Ch 11⁶); 2 S 23¹⁷, ψ 27¹³, 1 Ch 4¹⁰. For other examples of various kinds, see § 117 l, and especially § 147; in Aramaic, Dn 3¹⁵.—On Gn 3²², cf. § 152 w at the end.

 [b]  2. Anacoluthon is the change from a construction which has been already begun to one of a different kind. It is found especially after long parentheses, because the speaker has either lost sight of the beginning of his sentence, or for the sake of clearness purposely makes a new beginning; thus Gn 20¹³, 31⁵² and Ez 34¹⁰ (cf. § 149 at the end); Nu 14^{21 ff.}, 32^{20 ff.}, Dt 17^{2 ff.}, 24^{1 ff.}, 29^{21 ff.}, Ju 10¹¹ (where, after a series of intermediate sentences, the predicate I saved you is sup-

1. But those cases are not to be regarded as examples of aposiopesis, in which the answer, being closely connected with the question, is given simply in the infinitive with לְ; cf. § 147 a, note 1.
