If it's a fragment of Genesis then it should indeed have the second person suffix. That's why Peter (I think it was, but it may have been Stephen) suggested that it's a paraphrase rather than a direct quote. I'm inclined to agree.


My point was that even with the second person suffix it is not a direct quote, but a retelling (I won't call it a paraphrase because it is in the same language).
