Thank you, Jerry, George & Isaac. That answers it. I looked at all participle and infinitive instances of שמר and also all uses of שׂנא (hate), and it is as you said. Sincerely yours, Steve Miller Detroit Though an army should encamp against me, my heart won't fear from anxiety. Though a war rise up against me to rent, in this thing I will be confident. (Ps 27:3) From: b-hebrew-bounces AT lists.ibiblio.org [mailto:b-hebrew-bounces AT lists.ibiblio.org] On Behalf Of Jerry Shepherd Hi Steve, Unless someone knows of an example I am unaware of, this is an impossibility. This is a masculine plural participle. It always refers to those doing the action, never to the action in the abstract. Jerry Shepherd Taylor Seminary Edmonton, Alberta |
