Ps 24:6 6 This is the generation of them that seek Him, that seek your
face, O Jacob. Selah.

Would it be possible to translate it as:

This is the generation that seeks Him Who seeks your face, O Jacob. Selah.

In other words, would it be possible for the 2nd “seek”, מבקשי, to have as
its subject the immediately preceding pronoun suffix from the 1st “seek,
דרשו?

A problem is that מבקשי is plural. Is it possible that מבקשי if vowelled
differently could be singular?

Thank you.

Sincerely,

-Steve Miller

I called on Jah.

He did answer me

in Jah's spacious place.

The LORD's for me.

I will not fear.

What can mankind do

to do harm to me? (Ps 1185-6)
