<div>Regarding the actual girsa in Onklos, the one printed in chumashim is unreliable for almost anything. The Teimani is more reliable, since they read it every Shabbos, and it has the infinitive, just as RaShY did. <br>

<div dir="ltr">The text on CAL (<a href="http://cal1.cn.huc.edu/">http://cal1.cn.huc.edu/</a>, the most easily accessible source of accurate targum texts) for Targum Yerushalmi has it in infinitive, as in Onkelos (in the CAL text and in Rashi, as opposed to
the printed versions in our chumashim). <br>
Also, as far as I know, stam Targum is <i>always</i> Onkelos (in all Bavli-based rabbinic works, and not just in Rashi), but I would be very interested if someone could prove this wrong.
<br>
<br>
As a methodological point, the targumim often rewrite pesukim idiomatically. The way a targum phrases a particular pasuk does not necessarily indicate how they understood the grammatical structure, especially in a case such as this where the grammar is unambiguous.
Therefore, just because our printed Onkelos has "v'tisvin", it does not mean that he actually understood the grammatical form as meaning "you will take".

Under ideal/academic circumstances, agreed (and, FTR, REMT made the same point privately). My response to REMT was, "Yes, I think that may be why RaShY favors T[Y]! Thanks."<br>
