Exegesis

The interjection vehineh {וְהִנֵּה | wə-hinnēh} introduces a conditional result clause, which hinges on the substantive terms emet {אֱמֶת | ʾe-met} ‘truth’ and the Niphal participle nakhon {נָכוֹן | nā-ḵōn} ‘established’ to assess factual certainty.

In context — Deuteronomy 17:4

And it has been told to you, and you have heard, and you have investigated , and behold, if the matter is true and established , that this abomination has been done in Israel.
