Verse 12
- If. The Hebrew word eqeb, translated if, is a slightly unusual word choice, but is likely a play on the word Jacob (there is only one letter difference, Jacob starts with the additional letter yod). This same word is used in Deut 8:20, suggesting the following chiastic structure:
A: Hear, O Israel (6:4) B: If ye hearken (7:12) B': if ye do not hearken (Deut 8:20) A': Hear, O Israel (9:1)
