Gary,
I strongly recommend to look at:
Anja A. Diesel, Ich bin Jahwe. Der Aufstieg der Ich-bin-Jahwe-Aussage zum
Schlüsselwort des alttestamentlichen Monotheismus (WMANT 110) -
3-7887-2138-3, Neukirchen 2006
(maybe also, by the same author, Anja A. Diesel, Jahwe (allein) ist Gott.
Überlegungen zu einer Gruppe der sogenannten dreiteiligen Nominalsätze:
KUSATU 5/2004, p. 1-32),
and
Diethelm Michel, Grundlegung einer hebräischen Syntax. Teil 2: Probleme des
Nominalsatzes, Neukirchen 2003.

Reinhard G. Lehmann
