Sorry. I read the list of examples, I did not read your comments.
I don't agree that there is such a thing as an "intensive" plural
with nouns. I think the preferred reading is bamotav, his
sepulcher, or emend the text to the singular.
You object to emending the text, yet you willingly emend
)et to )it, with. The Greek puts "the wicked" in the
accusative case. The Greek has "He will give the wicked instead
of his grave." I agree with Vadim that the Hebrew is past tense,
but I don't know how to put "the wicked" in the accusative.
He put the wicked (in) his grave?

OK. I am familiar with plurals of majesty; I didn't know the name

HH: 1) "Intensive plural" is not only a category of nouns recognized
by older and still honored grammarians such as Gesenius, but also of
current ones like Waltke and O'Connor. See Biblical Hebrew Syntax
7.4.3 and 14.2c.
Yes, but why then does that not come across in the Greek?
2) The form )eT that appears twice in Isa 53:9 is the normal form for
the preposition "with" when it is preceded by a maqqeph. See
Brown-Driver-Briggs lexicon under the preposition )eT, where that is
the first fact given about the word.
Yours,
Harold Holmyard
