comment “the first day of the week” in 1 Corinthians 16:2
@brilliant The diacritics are the only way to differentiate number (sing./pl.) in the Syriac dialect of Aramaic used in the Peshitta, and those weren't added until later. So yes, we can distinguish them now, because we have the diacritics.

Casey, let me know if my answer clears this up for you. I'm not really sure if it answers your question or not (I'm not really sure what your question is if not).

comment Grammar-Literal Translation of Genesis 1:3 and 12:3
actually, some folks really like this question, so don't let the downvotes dissuade you. I just can't figure out what specifically you are looking for as an answer. Confusing. I'm not sure what to make of it. You sound as though you know Hebrew well enough to answer your own question, but at the same time you misunderstand a lot of grammatical categories. Hard to put my finger on it. I'll attempt to answer, that will open up more discussion at least. We'll see if I'm on the same page or not.

comment Waltke/O'Connor qal causation references
@caseyr547 actually if you look in the footnotes for the examples following the introduction in Waltke/O'Connor, he references several other books that should corroborate their points.

comment Waltke/O'Connor qal causation references
For your benefit, I'll just comment and say that in the (biblical) Hebrew language, the Hiphil and the Hophal carry a causative connotation. The Qal does not, however. Waltke and O'Connor are subject-matter-experts on this, but many other scholars on biblical Hebrew also support this (just about any introductory or intermediate grammar on biblical Hebrew addresses this).

comment Waltke/O'Connor qal causation references
OK so after determining that this is likely the context for this question, it appears to be a question about the Hebrew language itself, which would be off topic for BH.SE (since the question does not begin with the text - consider asking for clarification on your other question).
