I was just reading Genesis 37:2 when I noticed that the word for with is
written the same as the direct object marker where it says Joseph was
shepherding the flock with his brothers.
????? ????? ???-?????? ????????
HAYAH RO)EH(ET-(EXAYN
Does this reflect an alternate pronunciation, was the scribe suggesting
that Joseph was supervising his brothers, or is there another reason for
the spelling?
Sincerely,
