I'm not sure what's strange about this form (except that in manuscript
L it has a _h.at.eph-pathah._, indicating vocal sh@wa, in a position
where silent sh@wa would be expected; but that's really not all that
rare).
Perhaps you mean 27:7 _wa'abarek@kah_; this form might be considered
to contain two slight anomalies (phonologically _s@ghol_,
orthographically final _he_), but I'm not sure it's really all that
strange either.
