It is therefore not strange that translators of Isaiah and Psalms in the Antioch Bible have rendered it accordingly, even within contexts where it would be awkward to do so. This article will argue that the Ethpeel of graphic has another meaning, overlooked by the lexicographers of Syriac, one that is related to the Peal. In some contexts, it will be argued, the Ethpeel of graphic means ‘be like, similar to’.
