This request would probably be better answered on the b-hebrew list, but
here are
three examples found in a _very_ quick examination of the Hebrew
scriptures:

Gen 11:3 (KJV - let us make brick) nilb^nah l^benim
Joel 2:28 [Heb: Joel 3:1] (KJV - dream dreams) chalomoth yachalomun
Ps 33:3 (KJV - sing ... song) shiru ... shir

Hope this helps,
