Firstly, Steve, the verse is 9 and not 8.
Secondly, "min:y" here has nothing to do with, say, "min:y" in Is 22:4,
where it equals "min", a preposition.
Thirdly, I think it is difficult to get another *sensible* way to
translate...
Fourthly, a Hebrew sentence can end with a preposition, yes. But... this
preposition must include a personal suffix.

Kind regards

Pere Porta
