is the case where certain verbs by a brachylogy may omit their obj. e.g. נשׂא lift up, sc. קוֹל, Is. 3:7; 42:2. נשׂא ל forgive, sc. עָוֹן, Is. 2:9, Gen. 18:24. כרת sc. בְּרִית 1 S. 20:16, 2 Chr. 7:18. הִפִּיל sc. גּוֹרָל lot, 1 S. 14:42, Job 6:27, cf. Jud. 18:1. שׂים sc. לֵב Job 4:20, so כּוֹנֵן Job 8:8. שׁמר, נטר to retain, sc. אף anger, Jer. 3:5, Ps. 103:9. שׁלח sc. יָד 2 S. 6:6. הִקְשָׁה sc. עֹרֶף neck, Job 9:4, cf. Jer. 7:26. So מִלֵּא אַֽחֲרֵי sc. לָלֶכֶת to go, Jos. 14:14. In 1 S. 24:11 eye seems om., but perh. rd. 1st pers. with Sep. Syr. Cf. 2 K. 10:13.
Rem. 6. Sometimes the obj. is regarded as the instrument or means by which the action is realised, and construed with prep. ב. Ex. 7:20 הֵרִים בַּמַּטֶּה to lift up with the rod, Lam. 1:17 פֵּֽרְשָׂה בְיָדֶיהָ she stretches out with her hands. Jer. 18:16 to wag with the head; Job 16:10 to open with the mouth, Ps. 22:8; Job 16:9 to gnash with the teeth; Jer. 12:8 to give forth with the voice. Cf. Pr. 6:13. So the phrase קרא בְשֵׁם to call with the name = invoke Gen. 4:26, proclaim Ex. 34:5, &c.
Rem. 7. The direction of the action upon obj. is sometimes indicated by prep. ל, particularly with ptcp. and inf. whose rection is weaker than that of fin. vb. Is. 11:9 לַיָּם מְכַסִּים covering the sea, cf. different order, Hab. 2:14. Am. 6:3, Is. 14:2. The caus. (hiph., pi.) not uncommonly reaches its obj. by ל, Nu. 32:15, 1 S. 23:10 (2 S. 3:30), Is. 29:2, Am. 8:9, Hos. 10:1, cf. Jer. 40:2, Ps. 69:6; 73:18, Job 11:6. — In later style ל is used in all the senses of את, e.g. (a) direct obj. 1 Chr. 16:37; 25:1; 29:22, Ezr. 8:16, 24. (b) resumptive (or appos.) 1 Chr. 5:26, 2 Chr. 2:12; 23:1, Ps. 136:19, 20. (c) giving prominence to preposed subj.
4. Verbs with two Acc. of the Object
§ 74. Many verbs and forms of verbs govern two objects. There are several cases. First, when the two obj. (generally a pers. and a thing) have no relation to one another, and could not stand as subj. and pred. in a simple proposition, as, he showed him the place. Secondly, when the two obj.
