Jon. 4:4

Hebrew ื”ื”ื™ื˜ื‘

The first letter ื”, understood as the interrogative ื”, leaves ื”ื™ื˜ื‘. This was interpreted as a Hiphil causative, but the proper Hiphil causative form is ื”ื™ื˜ื™ื‘. Cf. Genesis 12:16, "ื•ืœืื‘ืจื ื”ื™ื˜ื™ื‘ ื‘ืขื‘ื•ืจื”" "and Abraham has made well/good for the sake of herself..."

The form ื”ื™ื˜ื‘ fits only the Hophal, "he was made good/he was caused to be good" or the imperative Niphal and Hophal. The imperative obviously would not fit with the interrogative ื”.
