We are dealing with AN in connection with a subjunctive.
Then there are two possibilities:
- a futuralis (pseudo-future)
- a generalis (describing what is generally done)
The choose between the possibilities is a question of appreciarion. As God
will show only once the promised land, I choose for a futuralis: "to the
land that I will show you".
