Bryant:

Two thoughts come to mind:

1) in the Yiqtol conjugation, in an unpointed text, there are no

differences between the Qal, Niphal, Piel, Pual, and hophal for regular

verbs. So how do you know which binyan was used for this verb?

But we have a pointed text which goes back to quite reliable

massoretic oral tradition...
