The Torah is very specific at all times, every word, every letter, every time there is a large letter, or a small letter, or a missing letter - it is always for a reason, never random.HH: I didn't say there was no reason. I gave many reasons. The Bible was a human as well as a divine book. God had human beings write about all sorts of things, even write poems, songs, and parables. So he let them use their own minds, even if he guided them. So the Bible speaks with many voices, as well as the one divine voice. People express things differently, think differently. There does not have to be a single divine reason for the presence or absence of a copulative verb. As I said:
It could reflect the writer's
style, his mood, his flow of thought, the tone he wants to create, the
rhythm, or even his space on a line of writing material.
