Pere,

1. L:$AL.:XWO of Exodus 4:23 means "to let him go" and hence the end personal pronoun WO = HO = HU refers to Israel.
2. D.AB.:RWO of Genesis 37:4 means "speak a kind word to him" and hence also here the end personal pronoun refers to Joseph.

First word: L:$AL.:XWO (Ex 4:23)
Second word: D.AB.:RWO (Gen 37:4)

Do you think the final WO is:
--direct object in the first word
--indirect object in the second word?

Pere Porta
