that make life fun ... and so, in numbers 31:23 we have three instances of the hebrew word באש occurring, but we have pronunciation differing; "ya-vo ... va-esh;" "ta-ah-vi-ru ... va-esh;" and "ya-vo ... ba-esh."
Is there some rule or reason to "dagesh" for "ba-esh" only once of three instances? Would the average 12th century b.c., shepherd or farmer practiced (or even known about) such subtle differences in his every day communications? Thanks for your help. regards, fred burlingame _______________________________________________ b-hebrew mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ibiblio.org/mailman/listinfo/b-hebrew
