#Jeremiah 38:6a seems to me ungrammatical in the MT:
ืึทืึดึผืงึฐืึฃืึผ ืึถึฝืชึพืึดืจึฐืึฐืึธึืืึผ ืึทืึทึผืฉึฐืืึดึจืืึผ ืึนืชึืึน ืึถืึพืึทืึผึฃืึนืจื ืึทืึฐืึดึผืึธึผึฃืืึผ ืึถืึพืึทืึถึผึืึถืึฐ
"They took Jeremiah and they threw him into the pit - Malkiyahu the king's son."It cannot be "the pit of Malkiyahu" because ืืืืจ has a definite article.
Indeed, the Masoretes seemed to want to help readers exclude reading it as "the pit of" by adding a vertical line after "the pit."
