Dear b-hebrew listers,

The word NP$, as it has been traditionally understood in Ecc 6:9, does not rightly fit here, in this verse?

Karl, remark that verbs ayin-waw keep the waw in the Niphal past or perfect.

Look at Is 25:10 (w'nadw$) and compare with du$ in Hos 10:11.

I think it is unlikely NP$ in Ecc 6:9 is a Niphal. It is the noun that menas "soul", "person".

Greetings from

What he means is that looking through the window is better than going out.
