Are they necessarily construct? Or are they verb subject object phrases?If they are verb subject object phrases, then this verse has all four
phrases with the same grammatical structure.
> 2) The verb is Y$B, not $WB, it means to settle down, so the (L fits > the

> wayyiqtol, fitting the context of the next section with its yiqtol.
Both the dictionary I've at hand (BDB) and Oham tell this verb comes from
$WB, not from Y$B.
Look at www.oham.net/out/P-d/P-d125p.html and
www.oham.net/out/P-d/P-d157.html
as regards verbs ayin"waw
And then look at www.oham.net/out/P-d/P-d106.html and
www.oham.net/out/P-d/P-d140p.html
as regards verbs pe"yud.
Take away the points, and the consonants WY$B could be from either. Context
with the following verb in the verse indicates that it is a weqatal verb.
Context in connection with (L indicates that the root is Y$B. Context
indicates that the points are wrong (I'm assuming it's pointed as a
wayyiktol). (L makes perfect sense in context with Y$B.
