Exegesis
The third clause, ve-ʼim-ʾăšallāḥ {וְאִם־אֲשַׁלַּח | wə-ʼim-ʾăšallāḥ} ‘and if I send’, features the Piel imperfect with dever {דֶּבֶר | ḏēḇēr} ‘plague’ affecting beʿammî {בְּעַמִּי | bə-ʿammî} ‘my people’. This parallelism underscores divine sovereignty and covenantal accountability; the translation preserves the Hebrew imperfect aspect and clause sequence to reflect theological emphasis.
Root and etymology
“fire”
In context — 2 Chronicles 7:13
If I restrain the heavens so that there is no rain , and if I command the locust to devour the land, and if I send a plague among My people.
