The verbal system of the Dead Sea scrolls : tense, aspect, and modality in Qumran Hebrew texts
\"In Verbs in the Dead Sea Scrolls: Tense, Aspect, or Mood? Ken M. Penner determines whether Qumran Hebrew finite verbs are primarily temporal, aspectual, or modal. Standard grammars claim Hebrew was aspect-prominent in the Bible, and tense-prominent in the Mishnah. But the semantic value of the verb forms in the intervening period in which the Dead Sea Scrolls were written has remained controversial. Penner answers the question of Qumran Hebrew verb form semantics using an empirical method: a database calculating the correlation between each form and each function, establishing that the ancient author's selection of verb form is determined not by aspect, but by tense or modality. Penner then applies these findings to controversial interpretations of three Qumran texts\"-- Provided by publisher.

HENDIATRIS? AN ANALYSIS OF TRIVERBAL SERIAL VERB CONSTRUCTIONS IN BIBLICAL HEBREW NARRATIVE
Constructions in the Hebrew Bible which consist of two or more contiguous verbs yet convey the idea of a singular event have broadly been subsumed under the term “hendiadys” – a label which is applied both to verbal and nominal constructions in which two elements together express a single idea. Hebrew grammars vary in their treatment of such verbal constructions, either understanding one of the verbs adverbially, or logically subordinating one verb to another, or else reanalyzing one verb as an interjection of sorts. Most grammars and analyses focus primarily on biverbal constructions, likely due to their preponderance in the Hebrew Bible; however, there are also a number of triverbal constructions that can help us open up new avenues of research into Hebrew verbal syntax. In this paper, I focus on triverbal constructions in BH prose, mainly drawn from the Deuteronomistic History and consider them in light of new theoretical developments in Semitic linguistics regarding “Serial Verb Constructions” (SVC). Using a typological prototype-driven approach to SVCs, as developed by Aikhenvald and Andrason, I analyze a number of triverbal sequences in BH. I find that non-canonical triverbal SVCs do occur in the Hebrew Bible, but only within certain parameters and always with at least one verb which, according to Chrzanowski, functions as an auxiliary verb elsewhere. These findings corroborate Andrason’s postulate that BH’s non-canonical SVCs will exhibit more disunity, which in turn corresponds to the diachronical development of serial verbs in BH.
