Laurent,

It is possibly a mistake or a deviant. My Hebrew bible from school has a schwa under the L in both Genesis and Leviticus, and it is so also in the on-line bible of mechon-mamre at http://www.mechon- mamre.org/i/t/t0.htm
Of course anything can be explained one way or another.

dear Isaac,

would you know why in Gen 1,18 we have a hatuf patah under the lamed (LHBDYL), which I don't understand: this semi vowel never appears under lamed as a preposition. Note that I have this from the BHS edition. Interestingly Leviticus 10,10 also mentions the same lamed with hatuf patah on the same word. Elsewhere any word starting with W(shuruk)LH-- would have as anticipated a patah or a shewa. Is this hatuf patah under the lamed a mistake? if not what is the rationale ?
