Subject: [b-hebrew] Deuteronomy 21:23 Who is cursed?

MA: Probably. I didn't recognize the construct form of cursed and didn't have
a
lexicon handy to check it out.
I should have taken the time to look it up.
JCR: But you didn't really even need to look it up. Two
nouns next to each other, as Dr Davila used to say to me,
are generally going to be in a construct relationship.
MA: I haven't been able
to find any scripture where this translation of קִלְלַת can be shown to be
normative. Perhaps, someone will point that out to me.
