you have a good question:

dt 32.35d: veHash `atidot lamo "future judgments will come on them
quickly"

why plural form: `atidot ?

answers:
a. `atidot is a rare -ot singular. see prov 9.1 Hoxmot banta betah. "wisdom
built her house"
b. (ibn ezra1) 'each one of the future judgments will come...' [like ibn
ezra at gen 49.22]
c. (ibn ezra2) 'the [day] of the future judgments will come...'
d. all/none of the above.
