Some languages use a dative in situations where others require the
accusative, and that's why we translate the literal "become to" as
"become" in English.
So, you suggest that Hebrew dative is consistently accusative in English?
('became a living soul' seems ablative to me)
In case you didn't understand, let me try to be clearer. Hebrew needs
L after "become" for grammatical reasons.
(And I'm pretty sure that you know enough Hebrew to know that.)
I did not suggest that Hebrew dative is consistently accusative; but after "become" it most certainly is.
Also, what do you think "became for a living soul" means? "He
became. And the reason he did that is to benefit a living soul"?
Surely not.
