Thanks. It is clear enough that the OG translators saw
it as a plural possessive, so modern version may be
taking their cues from them. And that intrigues me. I
guess what Id like clearer in my mind is why. Since I
no longer have my copy of BHS (Im using BHL and a
CHUMASH; BHS fell apart and I dont have funds to
replace it), and if its not a bother to you, I am
interested to know which codices mark ):aS"RaYW as
plural.
