Dear Herman,

>If you agree with that, I think ברא /bara/ doesn't have to be turnedinto an infinitive like I thought you and some others would prefer itto be, to make the subordinate-clause theory plausible (forgive me btwif I misunderstood you).
>Well, it's all beyond me actually, I first have to take a look at manymore similar-looking lines in the MT.

HH: I don't see how that changes anything, since these other words also 
come along when it is an infinitive as in Gen 2:4.

Yours,
Harold Holmyard
