הַל Deuteronomy 32:6 see below הֲ above

† הַל Deuteronomy 32:6 הַל יְהוָֺה תִּגְמְלוּזֹֿאת (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 הַל יְהוָֺה; others (so Norzi) follow the school of Sora, and read הַ לְיהוָֺה; others (so Hahn) have הַלְיהוָֺה. Were הַל original, it would be an interrogative particle = Arabic هَلْ, for which elsewhere הֲ is always found. The other punctuations would also each be highly irregular. The true reading is undoubtedly (הַלְיַהְוֶה) הֲלַיהוָֺה. compare De RossiVar. Lect. on the passage; and on the possible origin of the anomaly, GeiJüd. Ztschr. 1864-65, p. 89 f.
