Isaac,
you're deviating from the thread...
I'm wondering if there is a difference between the meaning of the Niph'al
Participle and the Qal passive Participle. I'm not asking on the different
uses of the Niph'al Participle.
Beside this, be more accurate, please: NI-QBAR ('was buried') does not
appear in Ruth 1:17...
