Footnotes
| 929 | The Hebrew word is come not “set”. It is said to be in the perfect tense here but it is exactly the same as the participle masculine singular. The proper translation (he has come or the coming one) is virtually guessed from the context because the perfect בָּא and the participle form בָּא are the same. This instance is highlighted blue to contrast the other interesting reference to the sun which treats the word as a feminine singular thus showing the odd dual masculine-feminine function of “the sun”: “…the sun is she-who-comes-in…” Gen. 15:17 literal The same participle (or perfect?) form is used of Rachel, “…behold Ewe [Rachel] his built-one is-she-who-comes-in with the Sheep…” Gen. 29:6 literal |
