Ken:

What does that message have to do with HYWM “today” coming before its verb in verses like Exodus 16:25c, Leviticus 9:4, 10:19, Joshua 5:9, 22:31 and probably more?

Did you notice I was never challenged when I made the claim that HYWM sometimes comes before its verb but before today never made a list like that above?

My experience with Randall Buth is that he made factual errors in Biblical Hebrew where just quoting verses would show the error. This is not just a disagreement in opinion.

 

One that comes to mind was his claim that “today” HYWM never precedes its verb. Yet even a quick electronic search brought up a few times where it does. As an emphatic. In prose. Would he have made that mistake had he read Tanakh 20 times through instead of only twice decades ago? Much less likely. And that was not the only error.
