B-Haverim,

Do any of you suppose there would be a difference in meaning between sentence a. and b. below? To ease reference to the two 'ehyeh's that appear in each sentence, the 1's are main clauses and the 2's are subordinate clauses.

a. 'ehyeh(1) 'asher 'ehyeh(2)
b. 'asher 'ehyeh(2) 'ehyeh(1)

More specifically, does the position of the yiqtol verb form within its clause have an impact on its meaning?

Shalom,
Bryan
