Dave Washburn wrote concerning: wayyiqtol represents a situation 
subjectively as Perfective:

<<Aspect is not in view in the Hebrew verbal system>>

I am unclear as to what that means.

I was under the impression that the conjugations do not indicate tense, but 
indicate aspect (relation of an action to the passage of time.)

Am I missing something here?
