Hi.
The last word in Is 41:8, )HBY, what does it really mean?:
1. the person I love
2. or rather the person who loves me ("my lover")

Of course these are different things.
Can this pattern have either meaning depending on the context?
In other words: is the final Y the subject of )HB or rather its object?
