Each section exhibits distinguishing characteristics which should be noted when teaching the book.

These three distinct suffixes used in the second half of the verse refer back to the unique phrase " booth of David. " The MT may be literally translated: On that day I will raise up the fallen booth of David; And I will wall up their (feminine plural) breaches (pirṣêhen), And I will raise his (masculine singular) ruins (wahărīsōtāyw), And I will build it (ûb e nîtîhā: feminine singular) as in the days of old. The problem is clear enough. The use of the feminine plural, masculine singular, and feminine singular suffixes cannot be readily explained grammatically as references to the feminine singular construct " booth of David. " The normal solution follows the LXX and reads all three suffixes in the third feminine singular (τὰ πεπτωκότα αὐτῆς; τὰ κατεσκαμμένα αὐτῆς; ἀνοικοδομήσω αὐτὴν). The vast majority of commentators have welcomed the LXX as the means of avoiding the problem, either through their unqualified acceptance or with the hesitant admission that no better suggestion has adequately explained the incongruity. 1 In the light of such unanimity it would appear superfluous to suggest an alternative reading were it not for the fact that scholars have generally proceeded from two incorrect assumptions when treating this text. First, most authors implicitly or explicitly presume that the LXX represents the " more original " reading; 2 and second, they presume that the solution must explain away one or more of the problematic suffixes. There are good reasons for rejecting both these presuppositions.
