There are no double XX in those words. If the Masoretic points indicate that there should be doubled XX in those words, the Masoretic points are wrong.
Just to see the words: תָּכֹסּוּ and כִּסֵּא
Dagesh ḥazaq doubles a consonant. כִּסֵּא is kissēʾ.kwrandolph wrote: ↑Thu Oct 01, 2020 3:09 pm There are no double XX in those words. If the Masoretic points indicate that there should be doubled XX in those words, the Masoretic points are wrong.

Why should anyone even consider the Masoretic points, which include the dagesh? Is the rejection of the Masoretic points based on our own authority, or from the evidence?Jason Hare wrote: ↑Thu Oct 01, 2020 3:13 pmDagesh ḥazaq doubles a consonant. כִּסֵּא is kissēʾ.
New members are not used to the idiosyncrasies of this forum's most prominent members. They don't realize that the entire world of biblical Hebrew professors teaches that dagesh double consonants, while the two dominant posters at B-Hebrew declare from their own authority that dagesh does nothing.
I don't know what you're discussing, but my Bible and every printed Bible I've ever seen has the Masoretic vocalization. It is, therefore, biblical Hebrew.
