4 ‎[1] [THEN I WILL GIVE.] The *vav* in *ve-natati* (then I will give) is like the *vav* in *ve-ha’aretz* (now the earth) in *Now the earth was unformed and void* (Gen. 1:2). When a word which has a *vav* prefixed to it is ultimately accented, the word is an imperfect. When it is penultimately accented it is in the perfect. The above is, aside from a few instances, always the case.
‎[2] HER PRODUCE. The word *yevulah* (her produce) is related to the word *vul* (food) in *Surely the mountains bring him forth food* (Job 40:20). We do not know whether the *yod* in *yevul* is a root letter or is like the *yod* in *yekum* (living substance) (Gen.7:23), which is not a root letter.
