הַל Deuteronomy 32:6 see below

†
הַל Deuteronomy 32:6 הַל יְהוָֺה תִּגְמְלוּזֹֿאת (so v. d. H. and other editions) The reading here became early a subject of dispute, and MSS. and editions vary accordingly. Some follow the school of Nehardea, and read
הַל יְהוָֺה; others (so Norzi) follow the school of Sora, and read
הַ לְיהוָֺה; others (so Hahn) have
הַלְיהוָֺה. Were
הַל original, it would be an interrogative particle = Arabic
هَلْ, for which elsewhere
הֲ is always found. The other punctuations would also each be highly irregular. The true reading is undoubtedly
(הַלְיַהְוֶה) הֲלַיהוָֺה. compare De Rossi
