 Dear Rick,

 Yes, this is a Semitism. The word 'iY$ ('ish), man, is repeated in the Hebrew
 text of Ezekiel 14:4. This is to emphasize that it includes each and every
 individual man. Not "any man"; but "every last man among you who is setting up
 idols in his heart, etc.". No exemptions, no escape!
