Hi Akhi Keith,
Absolutely:
[font=Estrangelo (V1.1)]wqpn Nnm[/font] = "From us they went out"
[font=Estrangelo (V1.1)]wwh Nnm wl f0[/font] = "But not from us they were"
(The two clauses above form an Antithetic Parellelism, a very common Semitic type of poetry, when a second clause contrasts the terms used in the first clause.)
[font=Estrangelo (V1.1)]wwh Nyrtkm Jtwl wwh Nnm ryg wl0 [/font] = "For if they were from us, they would have continued with us"
[font=Estrangelo (V1.1)]wwh Nnm wld (dyttd Nnm wqpn f0[/font] = "Rather, they departed from us so that it be known that they were not from us"
(These two clauses form a Climactic Parallelism - where the second clause is not a complete echo of the first, but adds something more which completes the 1st, thus forming its "climax.")
