הַל Deut 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 , 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.
