[Barry <nebarry AT verizon.net>]

ִרְבוּ אֵלַי שִׁמְעוּ־זֹאת לֹא מֵרֹאשׁ בַּסֵּתֶר דִּבַּרְתִּי מֵעֵת הֱיֹותָהּ שָׁם אָנִי וְעַתָּה אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה 
שְׁלָחַנִי וְרוּחֹו׃

I am especially interested in the last phrase, וְרוּחֹו Should it be 
translated as a subject, or as a direct object? I would expect the 
direct object marker, but apparently that's optional with the waw? Of 
ancient translators, Jerome took it as a subject, the LXX is ambiguous.
