erev tov, Bryan
thanks for your response
yes, it was thoughtful and the preaching was fine
i have to admit that when i translate hebrew, many times i give the
verbs "english" values because they make sense to me that way---ie
synchronicity, past perfect, etc---but whether they mean the same thing
in hebrew i'm not sure. and i don't really know the clues for these
time concepts.
but to show you that I probably don't understand the issue, i would like
to know how tense vs. aspect would affect the translation value of a
given phrase in BH.
