Dear Marianne,

> HH: I realize that there is no relative pronoun

before "brought" in 6:8, but I added it in order
to show in English what the force of the emphatic
Hebrew pronoun )NKY might be. The Lord seems to
be contrasting Himself with the gods of the
Amorites, who never did anything for the
Israelites.

I don't know how much relevancy can be attributed--but "ink" is a personal
pronoun in Egyptian. It means "I am" and is only seen at the start of a clause.

HH: In Hebrew )NKY does not have to be the first word of a clause. See Genesis 3:10 and 4:9.

Yours,
Harold Holmyard
