Hi All,
Let me say thank you for all your contributions on wayyiqtol, and also for the spirit in which they were made. Three observations:
(1) Old Testament scholars have to make choices as to where they will expend their efforts.
So, since my seminary days, reading McFall's Enigma of the Hebrew Verbal System, taking advanced Hebrew grammar with Waltke, and working through his and O'Connor's views in their IBHS, my research interests have resided more with hermeneutics and biblical theology than with grammar.
So I was quite a bit behind the latest research. So, again, thanks for all the contributions.
…
(3) I always like it when views long considered buried seem to experience a resurrection, though perhaps in a different form. Perhaps that explains why, of all the views expressed, the one I find the most intriguing is the one advanced by Joosten and shared by Ken Penner. So I think I will try to obtain Joosten's monograph and work through it.
