Friends,
The syntax of 1 Kgs 1:40b can be read a couple of different ways. Without
prejudicing this audience with my ideas ;-) , how would you understand where
the
clause boundaries are, and how we are to understand the participles here
(functioning as nouns, verbally, or perhaps even adverbially)?
1:40a way.a`:alw. kfl-hf`fm 'ax:arfyw -- no problems here V + Su + Adv phrase
(direction)
1:40c wat.ib.fqa` hf'frec b.:qowlfm -- this is also no problem: V + Su + Adv
phrase (instrumental)
Blessings,
Kirk
