This is arguably more than a very minor change in pronunciation, as the sheva is clearly nach, so the two versions have the ayin in different syllables. This disagreement over the vowelization of e'eseh can be found in a few other places as well, though the only other one I can recall at the moment is Bereishit 47:30. Now look at Shemot 6:1. All seven of my chumashim have a chataf-segol under the ayin and none have a sheva. </span></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif;font-size:large;color:rgb(0,0,255)"><span style="color:rgb(46,46,46);font-family:arial;font-size:12.8px"> </span></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif;font-size:large;color:rgb(0,0,255)"><span style="color:rgb(46,46,46);font-family:arial;font-size:12.8px">I can understand those that always have a chataf-segol.

I'm not sure I understand Minchat Shai on Bereishit 47:30, but I think he is acknowledging a difference of opinion and saying sheva is correct; however, he doesn't explain why, nor does he address this issue in the other two pesukim I cited. </span></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif;font-size:large;color:rgb(0,0,255)"><span style="color:rgb(46,46,46);font-family:arial;font-size:12.8px"><br></span></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif;font-size:large;color:rgb(0,0,255)"><span style="color:rgb(46,46,46);font-family:arial;font-size:12.8px">Also, are there other verbs with the same vowelization variants?</span></div></blockquote><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif;font-size:large;color:rgb(0,0,255)">---</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif;font-size:large;color:rgb(0,0,255)">To his question, I would note that, FWIW, Koren has a <i>chataf-segol</i> for the three in-Chumash instances of <i>e'evor</i> that I checked and that, AFAIK, a <i>chataf-segol</i> is printed for the other <i>ayin-hapoal</i> future 1st-person singular instances in TaNaCH.
