Hi Peter, You wrote:Well, not technically a clause, but I agree that this appears to be an anomalous example of an element of the main clause preceding WAYYIQTOL, which would correspond syntactically to Alter's interpretation of Genesis 1:1-3.
I don't think you will find any other place in the Hebrew Bible
where a WAYYIQTOL verb is preceded by a clause subordinate to it, which
seems to be Alter's grammatical understanding.
What is bayyom hashshlishi in Gen 22:4?
