In the final paragraph, Exodus 9:17 (cf. Romans 9:17 earlier) is a mistake for Exodus 9:16 (see earlier). In any case, there are problems with several aspects of Hendel and Joosten's argument about ‘amad, including for example what they describe as "the normal usage" and "a later form." I look forward to addressing this and other aspects of their book sometime soon.
