Definiteness

definite article, Definiteness

	Definition	Occurrences	Clustering	Intersection	Connections	Structure
Psalm 6/Nouns	definite article Definiteness	בַּמָּ֣וֶת (v.6a)

The common noun מָוֶת occasionally takes the definite article (e.g., 1 Sam 20:13; Ruth 1:7; Isa. 25:8; Hab. 2:5; Ps. 13:4; 68:21; 116:15; Job 27:15; Cant. 8:6; Lam. 1:20). This represents the generic use of the article. "Abstract terms, referring to... states, also take the generic article."'"`UNIQ--ref-00000DBE-QINU`"'

Based on the use of suffixes alone, the psalm appears to divide in two halves. 2ms suffixes appear only in the first half, while 1cs suffixes fill the second half. The first half focuses on Yahweh (2ms), beginning with his anger/wrath (v.2ab) and ends with his steadfast love (v.5b), recollection (v.6a), and praise (v.6b). In the second half, the psalmist focuses on his own sorrows.
