I've been trying to figure out the syntax of the verb >yissa'< in Ps 24:5. All translations and commentaries that I am aware of see this verb as starting a new clause and translate it is "He will receive ... ." Andersen-Forbes, however, see it as the predicate of the entire of v. 4, rending: "One of clean hands ... will receive ... ." It was recently suggested to me at SBL that it is a jussive.

Does anyone have any views on this? I have posted a more detailed overview along with further questions that this raises for me on my blog at: http://narrativeandontology.blogspot.com/2009/08/is-in- ps-245-jussive.html.

Thanks in advance,
