I appreciate everyone's help, I have just begun exploring Hebrew. I actually read about this on Ancient-Hebrew.org and they did not give an explanation as far as the translations that have teh plural instead of the singular I believe that is more theological and based on the word Zerah not the pronomial suffix (my apologies). On Another note anyone have any comments or opinion about the Ancient Hebrew Research Centre? -Joseph Roberts
