Exegesis
The verse begins with vanomer {וַנֹּ֕אמֶר | vā-nō-mer} ‘and we said’ followed by vehayah {וְהָיָ֗ה | wə-hā-yāh} ‘and it will be’, which with the conditional ki {כִּֽי | kî} introduces a hypothetical protasis.
In context — Joshua 22:28
And we said, “If in the future they speak to us or to our generations, we will say, ‘Look at the model of the altar of the LORD that our fathers made—not for burnt offerings nor for sacrifices, but as a witness between us and you.’”
