Hallo, a quick question concerning the direct object of this piel verb in
the only 2 occurrences in scripture.

1. In Joshua 10:19 we see the direct object marker and the plural suffix.

2. But in Deut 25:18 can not this verse be more precisely translated as 'in
you'? For semantic purposes then leading to the idea that the congregation
of Israel is a BODY and the Amalekites were curtailing/cutting a part of
that body away?

Thankyou Chris.
