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.
