This study uses modern linguistic theory to analyze a frequently recurring syntactic phenomenon in the Hebrew Bible that has thus far resisted explanation: \u05db\u05d9 \u05d0\u05dd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The combination of the two particles \u05db\u05d9 and \u05d0\u05dd produces a construction that is notoriously difficult to describe, analyze syntactically, and translate. Dictionaries of Biblical Hebrew offer a dizzying variety of translations for this construction, including \u201cthat if,\u201d \u201cexcept,\u201d \u201cunless,\u201d \u201cbut,\u201d \u201cbut only,\u201d and \u201csurely,\u201d among other possibilities. In this book, Grace J. Park provides a new approach that strives for greater precision and consistency in translation. Park argues that \u05db\u05d9 \u05d0\u05dd is used in three patterns: the \u201cfull focus\u201d pattern, the \u201creduced focus\u201d pattern, and the less common \u201cnon-focus\u201d pattern. Her syntactic analysis of all 156 occurrences of the \u05db\u05d9 \u05d0\u05dd construction in the Bible lends greater clarity to the contested passages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drawing on recent linguistic research into the typology of clausal nominalization as well as previous work on contrastive focus, this innovative project provides important new insight into the syntax of Biblical Hebrew. It will be especially valuable for scholars seeking to translate \u05db\u05d9 \u05d0\u05dd more consistently and accurately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
