Hebrew Syntax J Paul Tanner

This work on Hebrew Syntax is designed as a practical quick-reference manual for students moving from the study of elementary Hebrew grammar to that of Hebrew syntax and exegesis. This manual provides an easily accessible list of syntactical options for verbs, participles, nouns, and clauses. Each syntactical option is carefully illustrated. In addition, three helpful supplements are provided to assist those engaged in the task of exegesis. The first covers the most commonly encountered figures of speech. The second provides a complete list of signs and symbols appearing in the text-critical apparatus of the Hebrew Bible. The third provides a comprehensive list of Latin words and abbreviations appearing in the text-critical apparatus. With this manual in hand, the student has the basic tools in hand necessary for understanding Hebrew syntax and doing serious exegesis in the Hebrew Bible. The author holds a PhD in Hebrew studies from the Univ of Texas at Austin and has taught Hebrew language and exegetical courses for nearly forty years. He is also the author of the in-depth commentary on the Book of Daniel for the Evangelical Exegetical Commentary series.
