Occurrences of sentence-initial "and" in the ASV usually occur where the ASV translates the preverbal Greek particle *kai* or the Hebrew *vav* in the *wayyiqtol* verb form. The Greek particle *kai* was usually a Hebraism on the part of the New Testament writers that reflected their understanding that the Hebrew *wayyiqtol* form contained the conjunctive *vav* 'and.' This, however, was a misunderstanding, for modern scholarship has shown that the *wayyiqtol* form was a frozen form with parallels in cognate Semitic languages; it was the preferred Hebrew verb form for signaling event verbs in Hebrew narration. - * *Shall*: "**will**" for future expressions in general; "**should**", "**must**", or direct command for obligation; and "**shall**" in genres such as prophecies, blessings, curses, and in other passages focusing on the expression of the speaker's intentionality, e.g., "Yahweh said, 'Shall I hide from Abraham what I am about to do...?'"
