the spear ואת־צַפַּחַת and the cruse? 1 S. 17:34 there came the lion ואת־הַדּוֹב and the bear too (the verbs are frequent.) Ex. of resumption, Jud. 20:44, 2 S. 21:22, 1 K. 2:32, Ez. 14:22, Zech. 8:17. Other ex. Nu. 3:26; 5:10, 2 K. 6:5, Jer. 27:8; 36:22, Ez. 17:21; 35:10; 44:3 (47:17–19?), Neh. 9:19, 34, Hag. 2:17, Zech. 7:7, Ecc. 4:3, Dan. 9:13. Cf. Ez. 43:17 after prep.; 1 S. 30:23 text obscure (Sep.).

§ 73. Classes of verbs governing acc. of obj. — (a) As in other languages active verbs take acc. of obj., as נתן give, לקח take, שׂים put, רדף pursue. But so also many verbs properly stative, as אהֵב love, שׂנֵא hate, חפֵץ desire, and even יכֹל to be able (Is. 1:13, prevail over Ps. 13:5). So בכה to weep for, bewail.

(b) The causative of verbs intrans. in Kal, as בוֹא come, hiph. bring, יָצָא go out, hiph. bring out, עָלָה ascend, hiph. bring up, יָרַד go down, hiph. bring down, &c.

(c) Verbs of fulness and want, as מָלֵא be full of, שָׂבַע be satisfied with, חָסֵר to want, שָׁכֹל be bereaved of. Is. 1:11 שָׂבַעְתִּי עֹלוֹת אֵילִים I am sated with burnt-offerings of rams; v. 15 יְדֵּיכֶם דָּמִים מָלֵֽאוּ your hands are full of blood; Deu. 2:7 לֹּא חָסַרְתָּ דָּבָר thou didst want nothing. Gen. 18:28; 27:45, Ex. 15:9. The acc. here is perhaps properly one of specification — Pr. 25:17 שׂבע with acc. of person, so מלֵא Ex. 15:9.

(d) Verbs of putting on and putting off clothes, as לָבַשׁ put on, פָּשַׁט strip, עָטָהּ be clothed with (more poetical). 1 K. 22:30 וְאַתָּה לְבַשׁ בְּגָדֶיךָ but don thou thy robes; 1 S. 19:24 וַיּפְשַׁט גַּם־הוּא בְּגָדָיו he, too, stripped himself of his clothes; 28:14 וְהוּא עֹטֶה מְעִיל wearing a robe. Gen. 38:19, Deu. 22:5, 1 S. 28:8, Is. 49:18, Lev. 6:4, Song 5:3. Is 59:17, Ps. 109:29. For put off הֵסִיר is often used.

(e) Verbs signifying to inhabit, dwell in, as ישׁב dwell in, שׁכן id., גּוּר dwell with, Is. 44:13, Jer. 17:6, Ps. 37:3, Jud.
