Clause Structure¶
- Type: Ptcp (participial clause)
- Domain: Q (quotation)
- Structure: [Conj] וְ + [PreC] עֹשֶׂה + [Objc] חֶסֶד + [Cmpl] לַאֲלָפִים לְאֹהֲבַי וּלְשֹׁמְרֵי מִצְוֹתָי
Key grammatical notes:¶
- Both אֹהֲבַי (those who love me) and שֹׁמְרֵי מִצְוֹתָי (those who keep my commandments) are Qal active participles -- describing characteristic, ongoing action
- The participles identify the recipients of chesed: those who habitually love AND habitually keep
- The 1st person singular suffix (-ay) on both "love ME" and "MY commandments" -- God speaks in first person as the one loved and the one whose commandments are kept
- שֹׁמְרֵי is in construct state with מִצְוֹתָי -- "keepers-of my-commandments"
