‏ 1 Samuel 9:13

“When ye come into the city, ye will find him directly before he goes up to the high place to eat.” כּן not only introduces the apodosis, but corresponds to כּ, as, so: here, however, it is used with reference to time, in the sense of our “immediately.” “For the people are not accustomed to eat till he comes, for he blesses the sacrifice,” etc. בּרך, like εὐλογεῖν, refers to the thanksgiving prayer offered before the sacrificial meal. “Go now for him; yet will meet him even to-day.” The first אתו is placed at the beginning for the sake of emphasis, and then repeated at the close. כּהיּום, “Even to-day.”
