Hos. 5:13 king Jareb is obscure; Pr. 31:1 perhaps L. king of Massa.

Rem. 2. Repetition of prep. &c. before proper name has exceptions, Gen. 24:12, 1 S. 25:19 (but Sep. om. Nabal, cf. v. 25), Job 1:8. With my, thy, his people Israel om. is more common.

Rem. 3. In most of the cases ae the gen. may be used (§ 24), 1 K. 7:10, 2 K. 5:5, 1 Chr. 29:4, 2 Chr. 8:18; 9:9, 13. Cf. Ez. 47:4 מֵי מתנים with מַיִם ברכים.

Rem. 4. In cases like 1 Chr. 28:18 הַכרובים זהב where object is def. and material indef. the latter might be in acc. of specification, cher. in gold; Lev. 6:3 linen garment (g. in linen); and so cases like Gen. 18:6 three seahs fine flour, though appos. is more natural. Ar. has four ways of connexion: appos.; the prep. min, of (explicative); the gen.; and acc. of specif. Such passages as Ps. 71:7 מַֽחֲמִי עִז my strong refuge, Ez. 16:27 דַּרְכֵּךְ זִמָּה thy lewd way, Hab. 3:8, 2 S. 22:33, seem cases of appos., the noun being explanatory. Of course the second noun is not gen., but an acc. of limitation is less natural and expressive, and cases like Ps. 38:20 שֽׂנְאַ י שֶׁקֶר 35:19; 69:5; 119:86, Ez. 13:22 are of a different class (§ 70, 71, R. 2). Lev. 26:42 בְּרִיתִי יַֽעֲקֹב, &c., Jer. 33:20 ב׳ הַיּוֹם start from the gen. the cov. (of) with Jacob, and when the annexion is broken by the suff. the second noun is loosely left without prep., cf. Jer. 33:21. An acc. of specification with proper name or def. noun is improbable. With Ezr. 2:62, Neh. 7:64, comp. Jer. 52:20.

Rem. 5. Some cases of apparent appos. are due to errors of text. Josh. 3:14 om. הברית, 8:11 om. המלחמה, cf. v. 10, as explanatory margins. Jos. 13:5 הארץ הַגִּבְלִּי might be like Nu. 34:2 (but Sep. otherwise). Jud. 8:32 perhaps עפרַת like 6:24. Is. 11:14 rd. בּכֶתֶף. Jer. 8:5 om. Jerus. and Ez. 45:16 om. הארץ, both with Sep.

Rem. 6. The word כל all instead of taking gen. is often placed in appos., 2 S. 2:9 ישׂראל כֻּלֹּה, Is. all of it, 1 K. 22:28, Is. 9:8; 14:29, 31, Jer. 13:19, Mic. 2:12; often in Ezek., 11:15; 14:5; 20:40, &c. The archaic form of suff., as 2 S. 2:9, is common, Is. 15:3; 16:7, Jer. 2:21; 8:6, 10;
