In MT Psalm 8:5, (L) two synonyms are used: ENOWSH and ADAM.

Why did David use these synonyms, instead of repeating one word, say ADAM?

What was David trying to say by varying the terms?

How are these synonyms different from each other if at all?

I would be interested in your views.

Many thanks.

Philip Engmann.

I'm wondering why NASB translates shalowsh in 2 Chron 31:16 as "thirty". Is
there any logical reason for this, please?
