However, in cases such as 2 Sam 7:22 it functions as a speaker-oriented particle — what is mentioned in the preceding verse is the reason why the speaker makes the following statement. This usage may be compared with another speaker-oriented particle kî for', which explains the reason for the speaker's previous utterance. These two speaker-oriented particles may be explained thus:speaker-oriented kî: This (B) is the reason why I said that (A)'speaker-oriented al-ken: That (A) is the reason why I say this (B)' |
