Harold and other B-Haverim,You see from this thread there is much discussion of the translation
I own all the "major published translations of the Bible" (to quote
Harold) and found it unsatisfying. That's why I have spent some
considerable time and expense trying to learn Hebrew.
So without recourse to English translations, can anyone tell me the
difference between the meaning or function of a noun sentence and a
sentence using qatal of HYH when either appears in narration?
Example: Is there any difference when a narrator says
a. veha'arets tohu vabohu
and
b. veha'arets hayetah tohu vabohu
?????
I am assuming there should be a difference.
Thanks,
Bryan
