Dear Jack,

In Lev 21:18 there is a list of men who may not approach
Yahweh. One of them is XRM with a qamets beneath the X and
a qibbuts beneath the R (let us say - kharum). Is this the
qal masculine singular passive participle of XRM? Are the
quibbuts and the shureq interchangeable for the qal
passive participle? Are there other cases where this is
so?

HH: It's believed to be a different word in Hebrew, from a different root having to do with what is split, pierced, or slit.

Yours,
Harold Holmyard
