Dear Peter,

>Mark: But that's by no means certain. The LXX understood it as a construct.
But the form is the same as a non-construct plural. The only two other times
that this exact form ZaROTH is used in the Hebrew Bible (Job 5:19 and Psalm
71:20, see also Psalm 46:2; Deut. 31:17 & 21) the form is definitely NOT
>construct.

Wouldn't the construct form be C:ROWT with sheva, not qamats, according
to regular rule for shortening of construct forms? If so, that would
tend to confirm that this is an absolute form.


HH: This form does not reduce when it's construct elsewhere in the OT.

Yours,
Harold Holmyard
