In some cases 'JX and '3JX appear capable of being used indiffer- ently; in others the choice seems to have been determined, partly by rhythmical considera- tions, partly by a growing preference for ^N. among later writers. Thus when appended to the verb for emph. (whether with or without D?) the lighter form , ?N is nearly always used (Lv20 5 26 s4 - 32 Dti2 30 'jui 3 8 a 2S12 28 17 16 18 222 Je 17 18 21 5 Ez 17 22 Jb i 3 2 + ; cf. the cases Gn27 M 1 S25 24 2S19 1 iKi 26 Pr2 3 15 ); on the contrary, in the emph. rhetorical style of Dt, ,=3 ? is preferred (in the discourses, uniformly, exc. 1 2 30 , in ace. with usage just noted, & 29 s in a standing expression ; on 32 4851 (P) cf. infr.)

In later books the preponderance of ^X. is evident. Thus in Ez 'jx occurs 138 t., '3JX once 36 s8 (perh. a reminiscence of Je n 4b 24 7 30 22 ); in LaHgEzr Est Ec 'JX 45 t., '3JX never; in Ch 'JN 30 t., '3JN once 1 Ch 17 1 (from 2 S 7 2 ); in Dn 'JN 23 t., '3JN once 10".
