Shalom

I have tried to read through the past posts concerning wayyitqtols. I have
tried to condense what I read into the following 7 statements. Please
provide remarks or corrections based on your understanding of wayyiqtols.

Hainu Hach

1. The situations most described with wayyiqtol are one's with temporal or
logical sequences.

2. The most noteworthy use is that it traces the mainline of the
narrative.

3. All uses of the wayyiqtol have a sense of consecution. (Expect
epexegetical)

4. In contrast to the suffix conjugation there are no possible examples of
the pluperfect use of the wayyiqtol. (What about Num. 1:47-49 "Â…had said to
Moses" or Gen. 12:1 "and the Lord had said")

5. Wayyiqtol represents a situation subjectively as Perfective.

6. Wayyiqtol may take on the range of meanings associated with the
Perfective conjugation.

7. It is very rare that a wayyiqtol refers to a time other than the
preceding verb.
