Genesis 6:17

ו אני הנני מביא את ה מבול מים על ה ארץ ל שחת כל בשר אשר בו רוח חיים מ תחת ה שמים כל אשר ב ארץ יגוע
`And myself, behold-me,256 is he-who-causes to come in אֶת-the Flow257 of dual-waters upon the Earth to lay-waste the whole of the flesh, which in-himself is a wind of living-ones258 from underneath the Dual-Heavens, the whole which is in the Earth, he is breathing out.259

Footnote:

256

Hebrew הִנְנִי hinni, this is the short form interjection behold with a first-person singular suffix: behold-me. The longer more common form is hinneh (#2009). Thus the BDB states, “very often with the suffix of 1person singular, as הִנְנִי מֵבִיא Behold, I bring (literally behold me causing to come in, or about to bring) . . .”
