["Rev. Bryant J. Williams III" <bjwvmw AT com-pair.net>]

Dear Rolf,

Do not forget that the phrases in English, "Let," as used in the KJV did not 
express a wish, but was a more softer form of command than "thou shalt" or 
"you will." It is too easy to bring Indo-European grammar into Hebrew 
grammar. Modern English has reflected the loss of this type of command 
understanding to be one of wish or may or may not.
