Lee Martin wrote: "According to Even-Shoshan, there is only one niphal
of YR', Psalm 130:4.". Well, according to Brown-Driver-Briggs there
are about 45 niphals of YR', but on closer examination I see that all
but Psalm 130:4 are participles, so I guess Even-Shoshan lists them
separately. Perhaps a similar situation to the question we recently
discussed about whether $FMEAX is verbal or adjectival, but I don't
want to go down that road again. This niphal participle or adjective
is used in Deuteronomy of deserts, and often of God. The desert is not
"tolerating" fear. Need we say that God is?
