Psalm 78/Notes/Phrasal.v. 59.161082
From Psalms: Layer by Layer
v. 59 – For the בְּ–flagging of the stimulus argument with מאס, see also Lev 26:15, 43; Num 14:31; Judg 9:38; Isa 7:15-16; 30:12; 33:15; Jer 2:37; 4:30; Ps 106:24; Job 19:18, among others. See the discussion of figurative contact in BHRG (§39.6.1.b.ii) and social contact in Jenni (1992, 256; cf. v. 67; see also Num 14:31; Judg 9:38; 2 Kgs 17:20; Isa 7:15, 16; 30:12; 33:15; Jer 4:30; 6:19, 30; 31:37; Ps 106:24; Job 19:18). Both מאס and בחר can be considered verbs belonging to "interaction events," which are prime candidates for בְּ–flagging (Sjörs forthcoming, Prepositional Complements).
