Subject:  )"L in v. 23 above
Form: Q impf 3 ms
Connection:  Note that in v. 23 they are said LaHa:LK )eL_)"L ***
B.aM.i$:P.f+ ***  In v. 24 judgment is rendered --YfRoa( . 

In Re 2.29 it would seem that it is based on the LXX translation of Ps
2.9 -- in which they apparently understood it as a form of R(H. 
Therefore, you can hardly base a judgment regarding R(( [2] on this.
