It's a common enough construction, Eric. You will probably find it discussed in most grammars when the infinitive is introduced.

Is there anybody here that might have the resources quickly to check the construction of a Qal infinitive absolute preceding a Qal imperfect of the same root as we find in Gen 2:17.  If so, perhaps someone might also submit a search for any root that has the same construction.

Thank you.
