Thanks. It is clear enough that the OG translators saw
it as a plural possessive, so modern version may be
taking their cues from them. And that intrigues me. I
guess what I’d like clearer in my mind is why. Since I
no longer have my copy of BHS (I’m using BHL and a
CHUMASH; BHS fell apart and I don’t have funds to
replace it), and if it’s not a bother to you, I am
interested to know which codices mark  ):aS"RaYW  as
plural.
