Subject: [b-hebrew] Question about Pi'el Imperfect of RBD
Date: Wed, 16 May 2007 14:05:26 -0500
After my last post, and reading the responses I thought that it would be
of benefit for me to whip out my old Hebrew Grammar book from school and
refresh my grammar skills.
While doing such I ran into something confusing.
The book I' using is "Biblical Hebrew: An Introductory Grammar" by Page
H. Kelly.
At the bottom of page 140 it gives a table of the forms of the Pi'el
Imperfect for both the words MF$AL and D.FBAR
For the 1cs [first person common(mas/fem) singular] of DBR it gives ):ADAB"R
Now a the bottom of 141 is gives some textual examples of the occurrence
of the Pi'el Imperfect. The second to the last is an example of 1cs of
DBR coming from 2 Sam. 14:15. But in this text it has the word ):ADAB:RFH
Now according to the table on 140 the form is suppose to be ):ADAB"R for
both mas and fem - but here in the text it has ):ADAB:RFH
So what is going on here. Did the book mess up in their table on 140, or
is something else going on here?
On thing for sure, I'm glad I decided to review my grammar!
