Hebrew than Biblical Hebrew.

come on, Karl, that's below the belt.
Just because you alleged something doesn't prove something.
you didn't like `alay la`asot "it's on me to do."
But it does exist in BH, and arguably with the meaning proposed,
accepted by recognized authorities beyond yourself.
And you NEVER suggested a better way to say 'I've got to do something'.

So tread easy. I've met many a scholar who assume that something is
'modern Hebrew' just because they don't really know either, and then
learn later that they were rash.

blessings,

Randall
