Note
1 — לְמַעַן is always in order that, never merely so that ἐκβατικῶς); but sometimes, in rhetorical passages, the issue of a line of action, though really undesigned, is represented by it ironically as if it were designed: [Deut 29:18] (see Dr) ל ֗֗֗ כִּלְבָבוֺ ׳וְהִתְבָּרֵךְ וגו ׳סְפוֺת and he congratulate himself ... in order to sweep away the moistened with the dry (i.e. to destroy all together), [Isa 30:1]; [44:9] ל ידעו ובל יראו ׳בל יֵבוֺשׁוּ in orer that they may be put to shame, [Jer 7:18] ׳ל הַכְעִיסֵנִי, [7:19] ׳ל פְנֵיהֶם בּשֶׁת, [27:10], [15]; [32:29]; [Hosea 8:4] their silver, etc., they have made into idols ׳ל יִכָרֵת in order that it may be cut off (of course, not the real purpose of the idolatry), [Amos 2:7]; [Micah 6:16]: compare [Psa 51:6] (see Comn.) in order that thou mightest be just when thou judgest (that is, by manifesting thy justice in judgement on my sin). compare Qor 28:7 (FlKl. Schr. i. 397 f.).
Note 2. — In [Josh 4:24] for the anomalous ׳ל יְרָאתֶם, read infinitive ׳ל יִרְאָתָם in order that they might fear (Dr§ 14 Obs.): [Neh 6:13] אִירָא לְמַעַן הוּא שָׂכוּר לְמַעַן (si vera 1.) the first ׳ל points forwards, to this intent was he hired, to the intent that I should be afraid. — On [Prov 16:4], see מַעֵנֶה above
