I think you would do well to read about noun patterns in /Biblical
Hebrew Syntax/ by Waltke and O'Connor (pages 83-94), paying specific
attention to ?5.6, entitled "Patterns with Prefixing," on pages 90-92.
?5.6.c addresses the T-prefix.
And so I wonder
whether there would be agreement to the following 'idea' (based on
Gesenius's reasoning) that while this concept was masterful, strong,
dominant and hence a masculine ideal; it is rather by absolute contrast a
productive, sustaining, nourishing concept! and hence feminine. (All this
assuming that Torah is understood along the lines that it means nore
teaching and guiding and instruction rather than the negative concept of
'Law' as assumed in some circles)
What are your thoughts on this?
