Rom 15:10 and Deut 32:43: the form of the quotation

Says Rom 15:10 quotes Εὐφράνθητε, ἔθνη, μετὰ τοῦ λαοῦ αὐτοῦ, "Rejoice, O Gentiles, with his people."

Says This is word for word the third line of the LXX (εὐφράνθητε, ἔθνη, μετὰ τοῦ λαοῦ αὐτοῦ) and of Odes 2:43.

Says The Hebrew הַרְנִינוּ גוֹיִם עַמּוֹ (harninu goyim 'ammo) has no word for "with": עַמּוֹ ("his people") follows the imperative directly.

Implies Paul follows the Greek form, which places the nations beside God's people in praise, which fits his argument in 15:7–12.
