(rare) when the
subst.
qualified by the

dub.
if the text be sound:

Heb.
it is very general (e.g.

with the
ptcp.
, where the
ptcp.
with the art. forms really the
subject:
Gn 2:11
הַסֹּובֵב הוּא
not ‘it was encompassing,’ but ‘it is
that which encompassed
,’
45:12
פִּי הַמְדַבֵּר
my mouth is
that which
speaketh,
Dt 3:21

Is 14:27

The article is prefixed exceptionally—mostly in the latest Hebrew—with the force of a relative to the
verb:
•Jos 10:24
הֶהָֽלְכוּא אִתֹּו
that
whent with him,
Ez 26:17
,
הָעִיר הַהֻ˜לָּלָה
,
1 Ch 26:28
וְכֹל הַהִקְדִּישׁ שְׁמוּאֵל
and all
that
Samuel had dedicated,
29:8
,
17 2 Ch 1:4
בַּֽהֵכִין
in (the place)
that
he had prepared,
29:36 Ezr 8:25 10:1
4,
17
. According to the punctuation, it occurs similarly elsewhere, as
Gn 18:21
הַָ˜בּאָה
(so
46:27 Jb 2:1
1),
21:3
הַנֹּולַד־לֹו , 1 K 11:9 & Dn 8:1 הַנִּרְאָה , Is 51:10 הַשָּׂ̀מָה̀ , 56:3
הַנִּלְוָה
,
Ru 1:22
;
2:6
;
4:3
(all
הַשָּׁ˜כָה
): but in all these passages, the change of a point, or even sometimes of an accent, would restore the normal participial construction (as
הַבָָּ˜אה
,
הַנֹּולָד לֹו
cf.
Gn 48:
5,
הַנִּרְאֶה
), which is, no doubt, what was intended by the orig. writers, and is recognised
P Priests Code or Narrative. dub. dubious, doubtful.
