Dear Hebraists,
There is something that I find a little curious in MT Psalm 8.
MT Psalm 8:5 and Psalm 8:6 seems to form some sort of rhythm, or is similar
sounding.
There are four verbs involved here: tizkerenu, tiphqedenu (verse 5), and
tehasrehu and teaterehu
(verse 6).
These four verbs seem to be similar in sound and in form with the exception
that tiphqedenu (verse 5) is the only one of these verbs that is not an
emphatic piel verb.
Is it possible that this could have been an error?
Could it be that tiphqedenu (verse 5) should have been a piel verb as well to
match the other three verbs?
I am using BHS based on L.
(I am sorry I haven't checked the Aleppo Codex yet).
What do you think?
Best regards,
Philip Engmann.
