 Josh. 24:19 אלהים קְדשִׁים a holy God (cf. Pl. vb. Gen. 20:13; 35:7). So 1 S. 17:26 א׳ חַיִּים the living God, Deu. 5:23, Jer. 23:36, but also א׳ חַי 2 K. 19:4, 16. Cf. Teraphim of single image, 1 S. 19:13, 16. Gen. 31:34 (E), where Ter. is treated as pl., may be doubtful.

§ 32. The demonstrative adj. זֶה, הוּא this, that, have the same concord as other adj. But (1) they necessarily make their noun def., הָאִישׁ הַזֶּה this man, הַיָּמִים הָהֵם those days, and have themselves the Art. (2) In the case of nouns determined by pron. suff. they are in Appos. without the Art., Ex. 10:1 אֹתֹתַי אֵלֶּה these my signs; and so always. (3) With another adj. or several they stand last, 1 K. 3:6 הַחֶסֶד הַגָּדוֹל הַזֶּה this great goodness (v. 9); Deu. 1:19 הַמִּדְבָּר הַגָּדוֹל וְהַנּוֹרָא הַהוּא that great and terrible wilderness; Gen. 41:35 הַשָּׁנִים הַטֹּבוֹת הַבָּאֹת הָאֵלֶּה these good coming years.

Rem. 1. Occasionally the adj. precedes the noun, particularly רַב in plur. (sing. Is. 21:7; 63:7, Ps. 31:20; 145:7), Jer. 16:16, Ps. 32:10; 89:51, Pr. 7:26; 31:29, Neh. 9:28, 1 Ch. 28:5. Ez. 24:12 (fem. cons.) might suggest that in some instances of the sing. the adj. is used nominally. — Is. 28:21 the adj. may be pred., strange is his work. In other cases the adj. is independent and the consn. apposition, Is. 23:12 thou violated one, virgin, &c.; 53:11 perhaps the place of צדיק is due to attraction of vb. יצדיק ; 10:30 also apposition, thou poor one, Anathoth (Ew. al. would rd. עֲנִיהָ imp. answer her). Jer. 3:7, 10 בגודה is almost a proper name, Treacherous, her sister.

Rem. 2. Sometimes the noun is defined and adj. without the Art. (1) Numerals as אחד one, and words similarly used as אַחֵר another, רבים many, being def. of themselves, may dispense with Art. Gen. 42:19 (Art. v. 33), 1 S. 13:17, 2 K. 25:16, Jer. 24:2, Ez. 10:9; Gen. 43:14, Jer. 22:26, Ez. 39:27. (2) In some cases the adj. is acc. of condition, or at any rate of the nature of pred. Gen. 37:2, Nu. 14:37,
