Harold,
Context, as we choose to understand it, may indeed suggest to us to see YORENU as 'he will show him' rather than 'he will show us', but it is still really not clear to me in what sense the "inserted" nun "gives strength and sometimes emphasis to the verbal form". It is really beyond me how a FORM [a meaning?] can be strengthened [energizes?] by a lonely nun.
Do you have Gesenius-Kautzsch-Cowley, also called Gesenius' Hebrew
Grammar? It discusses this issue in #58i. There is a Nun energicum
inserted before the suffix. It is a special added syllable that gives
strength and sometimes emphasis to the verbal form.
Yours,
Harold Holmyard
