Sq. inf. Gn 18:19 לְמַעַן הָבִיא י׳ for the purpose of J.’s bringing = to the intent that J. might bring, 37:22 ל׳ הַצִּיל in order to rescue, 50:20; Ex 1:11; 9:16; 10:1, etc., Dt 2:30; 6:23, etc., 2 K 10:19; Je 7:10, 18; 11:5; 50:34 (on הִרגיע, v. עַד 2 a b), Ez 14:5; 21:15; 22:6, etc., 36:5 (v. p. 176), + often (Köiii. 595 f.).

Less common than לְבִלְתִּי or מִן with inf., or פֶּן־). Note.1 —לְמַעַן is always in order that, never merely so that (ἐκβατικῶς); but sometimes, in rhetorical passages, the issue of a line of action, though really undesigned, is represented by it ironically as if it were designed: Dt 29:18 (v. Dr) וְהִתְבָּרֵךְ בִּלְבָבוֹ … ל׳ סְפוֹת וגו׳ and he congratulate himself … in order to sweep away the moistened with the dry (i.e. to destory all together), Is 30:1; 44:9 בל יראו ובל ידעו ל׳ יֵבוֹשׁוּ in order that they may be put to shame, Je 7:18 ל׳ הַכְעִיסֵנִי, v 19 ל׳ בֹּשֶׁת פְּנֵיהֶם, 27:10, 15; 32:19; Ho 8:4 their silver, etc., they have made into idols ל׳ יִכָּרֵת in order that it may be cut off (of course, not the real purpose of the idolatry), Am 2:7; Mi 6:16; cf. ψ 51:6 (v. Comm.) in order that thou mightest be just when thou judgest (sc. by manifesting thy justice in judgment on my sin). cf. لِ Qor 28:7 (FlKl.Schr. i. 397 f.). Note.2 —In Jos 4:24 for the anom. ל׳ יְרָאתֶם, read inf. ל׳ יִרְאָתָם in order that they might fear (Dr§ 41 Obs.): Neh 6:13 לְמַעַן שָׂכוּר הוּא לְמַעַן אִירָא (si vera l.) the first ל׳ points forwards, to this intent was he hired, to the intent that I should be afraid.—On Pr 16:4, v. מַעֲנֶה" dir="rtl" >מַעֲנֶה.
