Not true. In my copy of BHS, the word is clearly marked with a silluq under
the letter resh, and hence is pausal, as other posters have noted.
Having a copy of BHS is absolutely essential for OT Hebrew exegesis. It is
readily available in paperback from large Christian retailers; here are the
details from my copy (Which has a lovely green cover):
Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia, Deutsche Bibelgesellschaft, Stuttgart
(Copyright 1967/77).
In this case the issue is a pausal form. However, Hebrew is not always
entirely regular in its use of pronomial suffixes. For instance, "with you"
masculine singular can be either `immeka (which is regular) or `immak, which
you would think is feminine by its form, but is actually also masculine.
All the best,
Dr Albert Haig.
