As I indicated, Gesenius' earlier publication asserted that the Hebrew definite article did not always indicate the definite in Hebrew! He subsequently corrected himself to assert that the Hebrew definite article always means the definite in Hebrew. ...

Joe, do you have any evidence that Gesenius corrected himself, taken from his own publications before his death in 1842? Or is your statement more correctly that later editors of Gesenius corrected him or one another? This makes a difference because you make this a personal matter by saying "This was an embarrassing mistake for him".
