Hi fellows,

I'm sorry if this has been discuss but I've got no access to the archives
(tech problem, no http access).

I've been reading about Abraham's covenant and a couple of statements left
some doubts.

Allow me:

1) When there is an imperative followed by cohortatives the basic meaning of
the cohortatives is one of intention.
2) H.W.Wolf says; "After an inperative, a consecutive clause in the first
person is formed with a cohortative." and also "Such consecutive clauses may
have the sense of a result as well as the sense of an intention". 

The main texts for imperative followed by cohortatives are Gen 12:1 and 1
Sam 26:11.

Can you elaborate on these? Any ideas, however provocative ;-), will be
welcome.

TIA
Armando
