What is the reason behind the text using this prefix? Why not just )MR ?
What the significance in saying "And she said, the woman, ....." instead of just "And said the woman"?

Hey Brak, the 3 rd feminine singular prefix pronoun looks the same as the 2nd masculine singular
prefix pronoun. So it is not "and you said the woman..." it is "and she
said." The prefix is referring to the woman.


So when you put it all together it is "and the woman said..."

From my understanding whenever a Taw is added to the beginning of a verb it adds the word "you". For example, in the Ten Commandments you have: LO) T.IR:CFX which would translate "no you kill"
Now my question involves the text in Adam and Eve story in Genesis. In Gen 3:2 you have: WA/T.O)MER HF/)I$.FH
Now from my understanding it would be translated as "And you said the woman" Now that just seems weird to me. To have "And said the woman" would make much more sense, but you don't have the word )FMAR you have T.O)MER
So what is going on here?
