אַפְאֵיהֶם Dt 3226; יְכַסֵּ֫ימוֹ ψ 14010 Qerê; הַכֵּ֫ינִי smite me, 1 K 2035.37; cf. Hb 32, Is 3816. Even in these examples a return to the original ending ay might be assumed; but perhaps they are merely due to a less correct plene writing. In the 3rd sing. perf. fem. the older form גָּלַת (see i) is always used before a suffix, e.g. כִּלַּ֫תּוּ (for כִּלַּתְהוּ) Zc 54; in pause עָשָׂ֑תְנִי Jb 334; רָאָֽתְךָ 425.
VI. The Relation between Verbs ל״ה and ל״א
.
[nn] 20. The close relation existing between verbs ל״א and ל״ה is shown in Hebrew by the fact that the verbs of one class often borrow forms from the other, especially in the later writers and the poets.
[oo] 21. Thus there are forms of verbs ל״א—
(a) Which have adopted the vowels of verbs ל״ה, e.g. perfect Qal כָּלִ֫אתִי I have refrained, ψ 119101; participle חוֹטֶא (חֹטֶא) sinning, Ec 226, 812, 92.18; cf. Is 6520; מוֹצֶא Ec 726; נשֶׁא lending, 1 S 222; Piʿēl perfect מִלָּא he has filled, Jer 5134; cf. 1 K 911, Am 42 (where, however, the perfect Niph. is perhaps intended), ψ 8911, 1433; רִפִּ֫אתִו I heal, 2 K 221; cf. Jer 519; imperfect יְגַמֶּא Jb 3924; Niphʿal perfect נִפְלְאַ֫תָה (like נִגְלְתֶה) it was wonderful, 2 S 126; Hiphʿîl perfect הִפְלָא Dt 2859; תֶחְבְּאַ֫תָה (not ־אָ֫תָה, cf. above, 2 S 126) she hid, Jos 617. On the other hand, forms like חֹטִאים 1 S 1433, קֹרִאים ψ 996, נִרְפּאוּ Ez 478, תְּדַכּאוּנַ֫נִי, according to the correct reading, Jb 192 (cf. Gn 3139 אֲחַטֶּ֫נָה), and יְראוּ imperative plur. masc. from יָרֵא Jos 2414, 1 S 1224, ψ 3410, are due to the elision of the א, see § 74 i. On יִנָּשׂוּא Jer 105 and נָשׂוּא ψ 13920, see § 23 i.
[pp] (b) Forms in ה, but keeping their ל״א vowels, e.g. imperfect Qal אֶרְפָּה Jer 322; imperative רְפָה heal thou, ψ 604; Niphʿal; נֶחְבָּה Jer 4910 (which must evidently be a perfect; read with Ewald the infinitive absolute נֶחְבֹּה as in verse 23), and הֵחָבֵה to hide oneself, 1 K 2225, cf. Jer 1911; Piʿēl imperfect יְמַלֵּה he will fill, Jb 821.
[qq] (c) Forms entirely of a ל״ה character, e.g. perfect Qal וְצֶמִת and when thou art athirst, Ru 29, cf. 2 S 38; כָּלוּ they shut up, 1 S 610; cf. 2533; מָלוּ they are full, Ez 2816, cf. 3926; infinitive חֲטוֹ (see above, n) to sin, Gn 206 (on מְלֹאת see above, § 74 h); imperative sing. fem. חֲבִי Is 2620; imperfect יִכְלֶה (for יִכְלָא) he will keep back, Gn 236; תִּרְפֶּ֫ינָה they heal, Jb 518; participle בּוֹוטֶה Pr 1218; fem. יׄצָא Ec 105; plur. צֹבֶ֫יהָ Is 297; participle passive נָשׂוּי ψ 321; Niphʿal נִרְפָּ֫תָה Jer 519; נִבֵּ֫יתָ thou hast prophesied, Jer 269 (cf. ψ 13914, Jb 183); imperfect וַיֵּרָֽפוּ 2 K 222 (infinitive Jer 1911); Piʿēl imperfect וַיְרַפּוּ Jer 811, cf. Gn 3139; Hiphʿîl participle מַקְנֶה Ez 83; Hithpa‛el הִתְנַבִּ֫יתָ 1 S 106; infinitive הִתְנַבּוֹת 1 S 1013. For the Kethîbh להשות 2 K 1925, Jablonski and others require as Qerê the form לְהַשְׁאוֹת (so Is 3726); the Kethîbh would have to be read לַהְשׁוֹת, with elision of the א and retraction of the vowel.
[rr] 22. On the other hand, there are forms of verbs ל״ה, which wholly or in part follow the analogy of verbs ל״א, e.g. in their consonants אָתָא he comes, Is 2112; בָּרָא 2 S 1217 (textus receptus בָּרָה); וְרָצִ֫אתִי Ez 4327; יִשְׂגֶּא Jb 811; יִשְׁנֶא La 41; וַיֶּֽחֶלֶא 2 Ch 1612; תִּקְרֶ֫אנָה Ex 110, Lv 1019; תְּלֻאִים Dt 2866 (cf. Ho 117); נִקְרֹא (infin. absol. Niphʿal beside נִקְרֵ֫יתִי) 2 S 16; שִׁנָּא 2 K 2529; מְרַפֵּא
