Description
Summary:The article describes the distribution of the long and short wayyiqtol forms of verbs III.h in Biblical (Masoretic) Hebrew, with a total of 110 short forms vs. 2171 long forms. There are no general rules able to explain all long forms found in the Biblical text. There are, however, a number of regularities or tendencies, which can be empirically observed. The long forms are relatively widespread 1) in the first and in the second (few occurrences) persons; 2) in the Prophets, the poetic books, Daniel, Ezra und Nehemiah; 3) in the first person in Joshua - Kings, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Hosea, Job, Proverbs, Qohelet, Daniel, and Chronicles; 4) in the third person in Kings (especially 1 Kgs 16 - 2 Kgs 13) and Jeremiah; 5) with doubly weak verbs (except hyh and ḥyh); 6) in the hiphil, piel, and hitpael; 7) in northern prose; 8) at the end of a clause; 9) before a direct object; 10) in the apodosis of a double clause; 11) before a laryngeal (except ḥ). The long forms are relatively seldom 1) in the third person; 2) in the Torah (very seldom), Joshua - Samuel, Ruth and Esther (none in either), and Chronicles; 3) in the third and second persons in the Torah (none), the Twelve Prophets, and the Writings (ketuvim); 4) in northern poetry; 5) with verbs I.h and I.ḥ, especially hyh (none in the third and second persons) and ḥyh (none); 6) with verbs both I.lar. and II.r (none); 7) before the subject; 8) before sibilants, velars, ḥ, and r. In a few cases the long forms express a nuance different from the short forms: 1) in the first person of hyh (description of a durative state); 2) in the third person of bnh (“rebuild”); 3) with r'h in Ezekiel (emphasis on the act of seeing rather than on the object which is seen).
