b. usually in adverb phrases: — (a) as adverb accusative, (α) Exod 33:5 אֶהָד ׳ ר for one moment, so ׳ ר alone Isa 54:8 repeated Jer 18:7; Jer 18:9 רֶגַע ֗֗֗ רֶגַע at another moment; . . . at another moment; (β) in a moment, suddenly, Ps 6:11 יָשׁוּבוּ יֵבשׁוּ רָ֑גַע, Jer 4:20; Isa 47:9; Job 34:20.
