[Mesorah] רעמסס

[rabbirichwolpoe]

From a colleague:"Another dikduk peculiarity i was wondering about: the nikkud for the word "Rameses" in Genesis 47:11 versus the nikkud for that same word as it appears in Exodus 1:11 are different. Genesis 47:11 would seem to be pronounced "Ra-me-ses" whereas in Exodus 1:11 the pronunciation would seemingly be "Ra-am-ses". I was wondering if you have any insights as to the reason for this discrepancy?"ויגשבראשית פרק-מז {יא}  שביעי וַיּוֹשֵׁ֣ב יוֹסֵף֘ אֶת-אָבִ֣יו וְאֶת-אֶחָיו֒ וַיִּתֵּ֨ן לָהֶ֤ם אֲחֻזָּה֙ בְּאֶ֣רֶץ מִצְרַ֔יִם בְּמֵיטַ֥ב הָאָ֖רֶץ בְּאֶ֣רֶץ רַעְמְסֵ֑ס כַּֽאֲשֶׁ֖ר צִוָּ֥ה פַרְעֹֽה: -------------------שמות פרק-א {יא} וַיָּשִׂ֤ימוּ עָלָיו֙ שָׂרֵ֣י מִסִּ֔ים לְמַ֥עַן עַנֹּת֖וֹ בְּסִבְלֹתָ֑ם וַיִּ֜בֶן עָרֵ֤י מִסְכְּנוֹת֙ לְפַרְעֹ֔ה אֶת-פִּתֹ֖ם וְאֶת-רַֽעַמְסֵֽס:
