Genesis 19:8
הִנֵּה נָא לִי שְׁתֵּי בָנֹות אֲשֶׁר לֹא יָדְעוּ אִישׁ אֹוצִיאָה נָּא אֶתְהֶן אֲלֵיכֶם וַ עֲשׂוּ לָהֶן כַּ טֹּוב בְּ עֵינֵיכֶם רַק לָ אֲנָשִׁים הָ אֵל אַל תַּעֲשׂוּ דָבָר כִּי עַל כֵּן בָּאוּ בְּ צֵל קֹרָתִי
Behold, now, to-myself two built-ones, who have not perceived a man, I am causing to go out, now, אֶת-them toward you all, and make you to-themselves according to the Good-one in your eyes,664 only to the Mortal-men of These ones665 do not make a word, for upon an upright they have come in the shadow of my beam.`666
| 665 | Hebrew לָֽאֲנָשִׁ֤ים הָאֵל֙. The Hebrew these + a definite article means the These. There are 9 occurances of this construct. Why does the text have seemingly unnecessary words? “At that time, he will answer them saying Amen I am saying to you as much as you have not made one of these ones the little, neither myself did you make.” Matthew 25:45 literal |
