Theological / Devotional

Have made thee. This may be translated as a future, “will make thee,” although the Jewish scholars who introduced a form of punctuation into the Hebrew text between the 6th and 9th centuries A.D. inserted a mark that, if valid, requires the verb to be translated in the past tense.
