I think it's fair to say it was S. R. Driver's _A Treatise on the Use of the Tenses in
Hebrew and some other syntactical questions_ that popularized (in English) Ewald's idea
that the Hebrew qatal and yiqtol were not past and future tenses but perfect and
imperfect "aspects". I recommend the Eerdmans/Dove 1998 reprint with an
introduction by W. Randall Garr.
