HH: Some hiphils are strange. There are
internally causative hiphils. This is evidently a
strange one. Here is the definition for it in HAL:
hif: impf. wayaz{eq, yaz{-îqu®; impv.
haz{eq-; inf. haz{-îq: -1. to utter a plaintive
cry Jb 35:9; -2. to summon (the militia) Ju
4:10-13; 2S 20:4f; -3. to make a proclamation Jon
3:7; -4. with acc. to call out to someone Zech
6:8 cj. 10:9 (w§}az{-îqem, alt. as 2). ¯
Der. cj. *za{aq, z§{aqah.
HH: "To cause me to hear a call for help" might be "to cry out to me."
SM: Thanks Harold. In HAL: What does the cj. 10:9 mean after Zech 6:8?
HAL gives a different meaning for almost every instance. I would give Zech 6:8 the same meaning as Job 35:9 "By reason of the multitude of oppressions they make the oppressed to cry" (AKJV)
"He caused me to hear a cry."
SM: I don't know enough to say that it is not possible. But it is not as straightforward as "caused me to cry".
HH: This could be equivalent to "He summoned" me, as Kelton said, or "He implored me," "alerted me," "signaled me." Whether verbs take prepositions is often a feature of a specific language. Verbal ideas that in one language take a preposition might not in another language. So there could be in Hebrew ideas like "he yelled me," "he screamed me," or something like that (caused me to hear a yell, scream, etc.).
SM: I have never seen "he yelled me" etc in the Hebrew. If you know of a case please show me.
By the way, I notice that in your replies, the Hebrew Unicode is messed up. Are you seeing the Hebrew?
