clarified answer was according to Zohar's masorah; added answer(s) according to Minchas Shai

| Jul 1, 2011 at 17:12 | comment | added | josh waxman | Right, which is why I stated at the outset that I liked Alex's answer, but would provide this as a supplement according to the Zohar's masorah. I'll update my answer, though, with an answer according to Ibn Ezra at the end. | |
| Jul 1, 2011 at 17:00 | comment | added | Gershon Gold | My question was according to the Masorah of the Minchas Shai. | |
| Jul 1, 2011 at 16:51 | comment | added | josh waxman | In the Torah, according to the masorah as established by Minchas Shai, it is indeed always malei. However, in the Torah, according to the masorah available in the time and place of the Zohar, it is malei only once. Minchas Shai harmonizes it, but it need not be harmonized. There are plenty of examples, on every single page of Minchas Shai, in which there is a divergence in masorot. My answer was specifically only according to the masorah of the Zohar, which seems to diverge in other places as well. | |

| Jul 1, 2011 at 16:18 | comment | added | josh waxman | Read my response again. I knew that, and was working from that premise. I wrote "I have no ready explanation, within Nach, why there is one exception, just as no ready explanation why, in Torah, there is one exception." Meaning that in Torah (according to the girsa of the Zohar), there is one exception of it being malei, with everything else chaser. And in Neviim, there is one exception of it being chaser, with everything else -- meaning the two pesukim you mentioned -- being malei. This is the first instance. | |
