 1:26 אֲנִי הָֽאִשָּׁה הַנִּצֶּבֶת    I am the woman who stood, cf. Jud. 16:24. This usage is very common: Gen. 13:5; 27:33; 35:3; 43:12, 18; 48:15, 16, Ex. 11:5, Jud. 8:34, 1 S. 4:8, 2 S. 1:24, 2 K. 22:18, Is. 8:6, 17, 18; 9:1, Am. 4:1; 5:3, Mic. 3:2, 3, 5. With pass. ptcp., Nu. 21:8, Jud. 6:28 the altar that had been built, 20:4 the woman who was murdered, 1 K. 18:30, Ps. 79:10. — Ps. 19:11 resumes v. 10 (they) which are more desirable. Ps. 18:33; 49:7.

Rem. 1. Of course the ptcp. with art. is not to be used as an ordinary rel. clause after an indef. noun, only after def. words as pron., proper name, or other defined word. In later style exceptions occur, Jer. 27:3; 46:16, Ez. 2:3; 14:22, Ps. 119:21, Dan. 9:26, though in most of these cases the preceding word is really def. though formally undetermined. In other cases the preceding subj. receives a certain definiteness from being connected with all, Gen. 1:21, 28, or a numeral, Jud. 16:27, cf. 1 S. 25:10, or from standing in a comparison, Pr. 26:18 (Ps. 62:4 rd. perhaps גְּדֵרָה ד׳    ), or from being described by an adj., Is. 65:2, cf. v. 3.

Rem. 2. When another ptcp. follows one with art. it is often without art., as predicate, Is. 5:20, Am. 6:4, Job 5:10. But in vigorous speech the clauses are made parallel and the art. used, Is. 40:22, 23, Mic. 3:5. Occasionally the rel. pron. takes the place of the art. as more distinct, Deu. 1:4, Jer. 38:16, Ez. 9:2, Ps. 115:8. Both are used 1 K. 12:8; 21:11.

Rem. 3. When the ptcp. as direct pred. receives the art. it becomes coextensive with the subj. Gen. 2:11 it is that which goeth round. 45:12 my mouth is that which speaketh. Deu. 3:21 thine eyes were they which saw. Gen. 42:6, Deu. 3:22, 1 S. 4:16, Is. 14:27.

§ 100. (a) The ptcp. as pred., unlike the finite verb, does not contain the subj., which must be expressed. 1 S. 19:11 מָחָר אַתָּה מוּמָת    to-morrow thou shalt be slain; Gen. 38:25 הִוא מוּצֵאת     she was brought forth; 1 S. 9:11 הֵמָּה עֹלִים     they were going up. The pron., however, is often omitted if
