Thanks for your explanation.

> pi: Sir 15:13: with L to cause to happen to someone (Daube VT
11:264f): 
I assume that Sir is the book of Ben Sirah.
Unfortunately, I don't jave a copy available - do you know of a Hebrew
version available on line ?

> Ex 21:13 Sir 15:13, cj. Ps 88:8
I don't see the connection with Ps 88:8.
Perhaps we have a numbering discrepancy here between editions.

Yes, I figured that one out for myself after receiving Isaac's email.

This one looks wrong to me. The word MT)NH here is related to the
word TO)NH as in Judges 14:4, meaning a "trumped up charge",
and to the MT)NNYM of Numbers 11:1 meaning to come up with a 
(fabricated) complaint.
