Aside from Sedra Miketz, is there another place in Chumash where a dargah is not followed by a tvir within 3 words?
1 Answer
Lots of places. It is true that darga is usually the servitor (meshares) of tevir, but it's not exclusively so. It can also precede munach and revi'i (e.g., Gen. 41:3 and Num. 4:12,14), and (rarely) mercha-kefulah and tipcha (e.g., Gen. 27:25).

1Thanks. So much for my opus. I had noticed that the Haftorah also had a case of darga not followed by tevir. Dec 6, 2010 at 6:43

2Yeah, both of those are among the fourteen times in Tanach that mercha-kefulah appears. All of them are preceded by darga and followed by tipcha.– AlexDec 6, 2010 at 16:07
