Hello folks!

I know that some of you have gathered by now that I am an amateur so I am
thankful that you all find time to condescend to the most basic questions
that I put forward on this site. Your patience is appreciated for such
unchallenging questions.

OK – Can someone explain the phenomenen why in Hebrew the following
construction is employed?

'PaKoD' before the actual verb proper – in many instances (Gen 50:24 and
25, Ex 3:16 given for referece) and such as in 1 Sam 20:6 the verb
'NiSHoL' before 'NiSHAL')

Thankyou.
