Dear Listees,

According to Benjamin Davidson’s Analytical Hebrew and Chaldee Lexicon,
(Michigan: Zondervan Publishing House, 1970), page 768, the verb UhreF.;faT4
(teaterehu) in MT Psalm 8:6[5] is formed from a combination of a third person
singular feminine imperfect piel verb, rF.;faT4 (teater) (rF.;faT4 (teater)
is derived from the root verb, rFafA (tatar) meaning, I surround, I
encompass),[1] and the third person singular masculine suffix, Uh (ho)
meaning, him; UhreF.;faT4 (teaterehu) therefore literally meaning, ‘she will
crown him’.[2]

However this analysis of the verb, UhreF.;faT4 in MT Psalm 8:6[5] does not
seem to fit the context of Psalm 8:6[5].

What is your take on this please?

Philip Engmann.
