Brown-Driver-Briggs H1973. haleah הַל Deuteronomy 32:6 תִּגְמְלוּזֹֿאת יְהוָֺה הַל (so v. d. H and other editions) The reading here became early a subject of dispute, and MSS. and editions vary accordingly. Some follow the school of Nehardea, and read יְהוָֺה הַל; others (so Norzi) follow the school of Sora, and read לְיהוָֺה הַ; others (so Hahn) have הַלְיהוָֺה. Were הַל original, it would be an interrogative particle = Arabic , for which elsewhere הֲ is always found. The other punctuations would also each be highly irregular. The true reading is undoubtedly הֲלַיהוָֺה (הַלְיַהְוֶה). compare De RossiVar. Lect. on the passage; and on the possible origin of the anomaly, GeiJüd.
