@Yitzhak:
Thanks alot I appreciate it, the only problem I have is that the apparatus
of BHS says many manuscripts have 'ayil' here as opposed to 'el. And it
seems to me that 'el going into 'eley is not impossible but pretty rare if
in the Hebrew bible. I have not found one other example of 'el going into
plural construct, but that is not to say it is impossible and I have not
checked other outside sources but it seems that 'ayil would be the better
rendering.
