Genesis 37:19
וַ יֹּאמְרוּ אִישׁ אֶל אָחִיו הִנֵּה בַּעַל הַ חֲלֹמֹות הַ לָּזֶה בָּא
And they are saying, a man toward his brother, `Behold, the owner1171 of the Bonded-ones of This-one-further1172 is he-who-comes.
| 1172 | Hebrew בַּ֛עַל הַחֲלֹמ֥וֹת הַלָּזֶ֖ה. The Master of the Bonded-ones of This one further out. The Bonded-ones with a definite article. “This one” is masculine singular which means it cannot refer to the bonded-ones, i.e. these bonded-ones. Translating it “the master of the Bonded-ones is this one” is incorrect because of the following masculine-singular participle verb “is the coming one” or “is he who comes.” |
