I don't know enough to about Biblical Hebrew to comment on it. Maybe the neefal verb belongs only to Modern Hebrew and the desire for Passive voice only since the turn of the 20th century.

God should always be written about in the active voice IMHO.

“God written about in the active voice”

And it certainly seems to be in my reading. ‘He who made heaven and earth’ is a repeated phrase.

Ah, Turkey, ‘the sick man of Europe’! And you have to prove otherwise? Your studies are indeed demanding.
