...Nonsense! This is an imperfective present in Russian as in Hebrew, and in the Russian Synodal Bible is correctly translated не едят, imperfective present.
Genesis 32:32 "the children of Israel do not eat"
would not eat
In Russian, that would be a regular future tense, не съедят
I don't know what you think this means in English, but the sense is clear, that Joseph is already looking and continuing to look, a Russian imperfective present ищешь.Genesis 37:15 "What seekest thou?"what would you like to find
Past tense
Judges 11:40 "the daughters of Israel went from year to year"
would annually lament
