Dear All:

I notice that this form occurs only four times in Tanakh—once as a verb, in 1 Samuel 27:1, and three times as ???

Those three times are in Isaiah 57:10, and in Jeremiah 2:25 and 18:12. Those three times appear to be more of a statement with a meaning similar to “enough already!” as in telling the speaker to stop.

What do you all think?

Karl W. Randolph.
