Once followed by an acc.

II. עָמַד ἅπ. λεγόμ. of uncertain authority; Ezekiel 29:7, וְהַעֲמַדְתָּ לָהֶם כָּל־מָתְנַיִם which clearly stands for וְהִמְעַדְתָּ וגו׳ “and thou hast made all their loins to shake;” compare Psalms 69:24. But it appears to me uncertain whether the letters are transposed by a certain usage of the language, or whether through some error in this place only. This form however seems to be one of those which are reckoned among the innumerable licenses, or barbarisms [rather peculiarities of dialect] of the prophet Ezekiel.
