RT Article T1 Poetisk verbalbrug og sproglig datering af gammeltestamentlige tekster JF Dansk teologisk tidsskrift VO 76 IS 4 SP 261 OP 275 A1 Siegismund, Kasper LA Danish YR 2013 UL https://ixtheo.de/Record/1637132921 AB Resumé This article includes a short introduction to the general issueof linguistic dating of Old Testament texts as well as an appraisal ofthe alternative, non-chronological view of linguistic variation that hasrecently been put forward by Young, Rezetko and Ehrensvärd. Two poeticaltexts that are generally considered arch aic (Exodus 15 and Judges5), are examined using an approach to the verbal system in Biblical Hebrewpoetry inspired by Alviero Niccacci. In this way it is demonstratedthat supposedly archaic preterital use of yiqtol can be explained in otherways – which means that this feature is not a conclusive argument forearly dating.
