if you will remember, i was asking about the status of "zaqen ba" in
1kings 1:1. some pointed out an unambiguous instance in joshua,
"zaqanti ba'ti", and i was content with that. but kirk lowery pointed
out off list the other case in gen 18:11, "zqenim ba'im".
do you guys (in toronto speak, that's gender neutral!) want to take
another kick at this can? ;-)
cheers
