Subject: [b-hebrew] Use of cognate languages in the interpretation of Biblical Hebrew
Date: Tue, 21 Oct 2008 19:56:05 -0700 (PDT)
Does anybody know of a good starting point for understanding the reasoning
and rationale behind the use of cognate languages in the interpretation of
Biblical Hebrew? It seems to be a generally agreed upon principle that there
is value in it, but I'd like to know the origin of the practice and upon what
assumptions it rests. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!
