18. הפך to turn into Ps. 114:8. Ex. of so-called acc. of product, 1 K. 11:30 rent it into 12 pieces, Am. 6:11 smite the house into fissures, Hab. 3:9 cleave rivers into dry ground, Ps. 74:2 Ar. Gram. regards such cases as acc. of specification.

Rem. 4. The affinity of the consn. § 76 to the usage of Apposition (§ 29) is evident. The two obj. are virtually in Appos. 2 Chr. 2:15.

Rem. 5. For second obj. ל is frequently used, esp. with persons, Gen. 2:22 built the rib לְאִשָּׁה into a woman; 12:2 I will make thee לְגוֹי a nation. With שׂים Is. 14:23; 23:13; 28:17. So חשׁב to reckon Gen. 38:15, 1 S. 1:13, and usually; to turn into Am. 6:12, &c. And prep. for 2nd acc. is common in other cases, as to satisfy with ב Is. 58:11, Lam. 3:15; to smite on the cheek על, Mic. 4:14; to overlay with ב Jer. 10:4, 2 K. 19:1.

Rem. 6. Ecc. 7:25 לָדַעַת רֶשַׁע כֶּסֶל to know wickedness (to be) folly, is an ex. of verb of the mind. The consn. with כי that is more usual. Ar. Gr. draws a distinction between verbs like to see, &c. as verbs of sense and as verbs of the mind. In both cases they take 2 acc., but the 2nd acc. differs. I saw him sleeping (verb of sense), sleeping is acc. of condition; in the other case it is 2nd obj., perceived him (to be) sleeping = that he was sleeping, pred. acc.

Rem. 7. Two acc. appear in the phrase עָשָׂה כָלָה to make (to be) a full end, utterly destroy, Neh. 9:31 לא עשׂיתָם כָּלָה, Nah. 1:8, Jer. 30:11, though את seems prep. Jer. 5:18. Strong consns. occur in poetry, Ps. 21:13, put them the back שְׁכֶם, 18:41 make them the back עֹרֶף, i.e. cause them to turn the back (in flight) to one. Ex. 23:27.

Rem. 8. Sentences beginning with כי, אשׁר, את אשׁד that, how that, after tell, show, &c. form virtually a 2nd obj. § 146. And so words with כ‍ as, for, Gen. 42:30 held us כִּמְרַגְּלִים spies, Ps. 44:12. — Unique perhaps is הִגִּיד with 2 acc., Ez. 43:10. 2 S. 15:31 rd. וּלְדוד; 2 K. 7:9 בֵּית is acc. loci; Job 26:4 אֶת־מִי = by whose help (inspiration), as Gen. 4:1, according to parallel clause.
