Facebook, and I can't see an answer.<br>
<br>
In Genesis 41:6, it says:<br>
<br>
<i>V'hiney sheva shibolim, dakot u-shdufot kadim, tzomchot achareihen</i><br>
<br>
</font></font><font size="-1"><font face="Arial">In Genesis 41:23, it
says:<br>
</font></font><font size="-1"><font face="Arial"><br>
<i>V'hiney sheva shibolim, tznumot dakot shdufot kadim, tzomchot
achareihem</i><br>
<br>
So... why the masculine ending at the end of that verse, when shibolim
is otherwise feminine throughout? It can't be like derekh, where
context matters, because the context is the same in both cases.<br>
<br>
And oddly enough, none of the mefarshim I've looked at seem to mention
this.<br>
<br>
Any ideas?<br>
