I have a question about the Yiqtol verb in Jeremiah 1:5.
1. Am I correct to expect a Qatal form of יצר instead of a Yiqtol after the
temporal adverbial prepositional phrase בטרם in verse 5?
2. Is the sense of the verse some kind of modal use of Yiqtol: "Before I
could form you in the womb I knew you."? Or are these even the right kind of
questions to be asking?
