Dear B-Hebrew,
Last night I read a couple of chapters of Joshua for leisure, and
there are a couple of things that I noticed that I wanted to ask
about:
(1) Although $BW(H /shevu'ah/ [שבועה] is feminine, it is modified with
the masculine ZH /zeh/ [זה] in 2:17:
נְקִיִּם אֲנַחְנוּ מִשְּׁבֻעָתֵךְ הַזֶּה אֲשֶׁר הִשְׁבַּעְתָּנוּ
NQYM )NXNW M$B(TK HZH )$R H$B(TNW
Come to think of it, why is H$B(TNW masculine, when it is talking about Rahab?
(2) Is there any reason why the NIV footnote says that the word ZWNH
/zonah/ [זונה] can be translated as "innkeeper"?
Thanks,
Jason
