"rejoice in you" (NASB) - NKJV says, "rejoice in you. Feminine singular,
that is, the Shulamite." NIV says, "delight in you; {The Hebrew is
masculine singular.}" Which is correct?
Steve:
The BHS shows masc. sing i.e as in NIV.
The only note in the apparatus dealing with this part of v.4 has to do with
a Qumran ms. which reverses the order of " exult " and "rejoice".
