Abstract

This article explores the use of two prepositions, "lema'an" and "lean," in the book of Ezekiel. The author analyzes specific verses that contain parallel phrases using these prepositions and investigates why the author chose to use different prepositions in similar phrases. The article suggests that the author's use of different prepositions may be for stylistic purposes and to reflect the impending destruction of the country. The author provides analysis and proposes possible explanations for the use of these prepositions in different contexts. [Extracted from the article]
