I didn't know that natsal was a verb or that it meant 'to take away ...'. Would hitsil mean 'to cause to take away ...'? And if hitsil only means 'to take away ...' then what would *natsal mean? We do agree that Reuben succeeded, in any case. As the LXX translated, it was a done deal, another wayyiqtol interpreted as perfective and past. -- Randall Buth, PhD www.biblicallanguagecenter.com www.biblicalulpan.org Biblical Language Center Learn Easily - Progress Further - Remember for Life _______________________________________________ b-hebrew mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ibiblio.org/mailman/listinfo/b-hebrew
