GDay all,

In Gen 17.16 we find both these expressions:

        uberaktiy 'otah         "I will bless her"
        uberaktiyha             "I will bless her"

There are many other examples like this where the pronominal object is
expressed with the same verb in these two different ways. My questions are,
Does anyone have any theories as to the difference between these two
structures? and, Does anyone know of any articles or books that discuss this
phenomenon?

Thanks very much for your assistance,

With regards,
Matthew Anstey
