924 4QpaleoGen-Exodl is restored: twb) tybl h# tybl h#, “a lamb for a father’s house, a lamb for a house.”
See also Q243 and note above. Here, too, the interchange of synonyms is counted as such rather than as
a metathesis or dialectal by-form. See 925 HALOT, 501.
This is a possible instance of waw standing for Massoretic qameṣ, for which see P.W. Skehan, E. Ulrich,
and J.E. Sanderson, Qumran Cave 4. IV: Paleo-Hebrew and Greek Biblical Manuscripts (DJD 9; Oxford:
Clarendon Press, 1992) 33, and E. Qimron, 926 Hebrew of the Dead Sea Scrolls, 39-40.
4QpaleoGen-Exodl is restored: Nys rbdmm Mhy(sml, in agreement with 4QExodc against the MT, the SP
and the LXX. See Q192 and note above.
