Isn't the verb with the meaning "to lend" N$H (e.g. Deut.
15:2, 24:11)?

<color><param>0000,0000,0000</param>One thing about those two examples struck
me as somewhat
different from Gen. 3:13, where the suffix aNiY indicates
Hi$$iYa )oWTiY; if Gen. 3:13 were parallel to 2K 18:29

[ )aL Ya$iY) LfKeM ] and J 4:10 [ Ha$") Ha$"(Tf Lf(fM ]
it would have Hi$$iYa LiY, wouldn't it? Is this
difference in construction significant?
