Dear Joseph,

The paragraph below was supposed to read this way:


HH: Yes, but the same form also occurs in Jer
44:23 with a homonym. A man named
Baer, studying early manuscripts, said that the
second person feminine
singular is written with a shewa in the final tav,
for example in Gen
16:11. In the Qumran Isaiah A text the letters are
WQR) or "one shall call."

It should be noted that QR) in 1QIsa is probably to be pointed as the Qal imperative, "[Ahaz] call" (cf. Isa. viii 3). This agrees with the emphatic pronoun "you" in v. 16.
