Dear members,
I have some questions on the pronunciation of some words of Genesis 2:7:
1)Why does the word B)PYW is pronounced as "beapav" without the Yod sound? For me, it should be "beapayv".
2)The right pronunciation of WYHY is "vayehy" or "vayhy"? I know a shewa is pronounced after a closed syllable and it's not pronounced after an open syllable, so this pronunciation should be "vayhy". 
Thanks in advance for your answers or any corrections,
Fernando
