Hi Everyone,

I am doing some research on Deut 1:36 and have noticed an accent that I have not seen before. Halfway through the verse above ya'an there is what looks like a zaqeph magnum, except that it is backwards. Is this simply another way of indicating the disjunctive magnum, or is it something different?

Thanks!

Mark

PS. I also note that the Samaritan Pentateuch has kiy rather than ya'an.
