“When ye come into the city, ye will find him directly before he goes up to the high place to eat.” כֵּן not only introduces the apodosis, but corresponds to כְּ, as, so: here, however, it is used with reference to time, in the sense of our “immediately.” “For the people are not accustomed to eat till he comes, for he blesses the sacrifice,” etc. בֵּרֵךְ, like εὐλογεῖν, refers to the thanksgiving prayer offered before the sacrificial meal. “Go now for him; yet will meet him even to-day.” The first אֹתֹו is placed at the beginning for the sake of emphasis, and then repeated at the close. כְּהַיֹּום, “Even to-day.”
