I would agree with Joosten's assessment in " Do the Finite Verbal Forms in
Biblical Hebrew Express Aspect?" JANES 29 (2002;
http://www.jstor.org/stable/1455404 ). "In light of these diverging views, no
consensus can be said to exist. Nevertheless, the theory according to which
the verbal forms of BH have an aspectual function is by far the most
influential one" (50).

I would nominate Garr's introduction as a description that comes close to a
conventional view these days.

Garr, W. Randall. 1998. ‘Driver’s Treatise and the Study of Hebrew: Then and
Now’. In A Treatise on the Use of the Tenses in Hebrew and Some Other
Syntactical Questions, by Samuel R. Driver, xviii-lxxxvi. Grand Rapids:
Eerdmans.

Dear Ken,

Reading your article did not help, so I repeat my questions: "What is the
"conventional" view of the Hebrew "tenses"? And who are the scholars who
hold this conventional view?



Best regards,
