BY / WILLIAM HENRY GREEN, PROFESSOR IN THE THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY AT PRINCETON, N. J. jarto ISiJttton. (CAREFULLY RKVISED THROUGHOUT AND THE SYNTAX GREATLY ENLARGED. Part I.— Orthoaraphy and. Etyixiology. NEW YORK: JOHN WILEY & SONS, PUBLISHERS, 15 AsTOR Place. 1888. Copyright, 1888, by JOHN WILEY & SONSk PREFACE. The twenty-seven years, which have elapsed since the first publication of this Grammar, have been exceed- ingly fruitful in the philological and exegetical study of the Old Testament. And important progress has been made toward a more thorough and accurate knowledge of the grammatical structure of the Hebrew language. This edition of the Grammar has been carefully revised throughout that it may better represent the advanced state of scholarship on this subject. Nearly every page exhibits corrections or additions of greater or less conse- quence. And the Syntax particularly, which was not fully elaborated before, has been greatly enlarged, and for the most part entirely rewritten. The plan of the Grammar, the method of treatment, and in general the order of the sections are unchanged. And little occasion has been found to alter the more general and comprehen- sive statements, which are distinguished by being printed in large type. The changes are chiefly in the addition of fuller details enlarging and multiplying the para- graphs in small type. The principle of eschewing all supposititious forms and adducing none but such as really occur in the Old Testa- ment, has been steadfastly adhered to as heretofore, with the view of rigorously conforming all rules and examples to the actual phenomena of the language.

  • Theme and Variation in Psalm 111: Phrase and Foot in Generative-Metrical Perspective1
    Journal of Semitic Studies LIV/1 Spring 2009 doi:10.1093/jss/fgn041 © The author. PublishedTHEME by Oxford AND University VARIATION Press on IN behalf PSALM of the 111 University of Manchester. All rights reserved. THEME AND VARIATION IN PSALM 111: PHRASE AND FOOT IN GENERATIVE-METRICAL PERSPECTIVE1 VINCENT DECAEN UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO Abstract This programmatic paper approaches the metre of biblical poetry as a problem in generative metrics. Recalling the earlier proposal of Kurylowicz (1972, 1975), it is argued that the organizational princi- ples of the Tiberian liturgical chant (syllable, foot, and, crucially, pho- nological phrase) are also the metrical principles of biblical poetry — or at least that of Job, Proverbs and a fair portion of the Psalms. When the musical transformations of the poetic accent system are taken into account, Psalm 111 conforms to Kurylowicz’s 2+2 phrases per verse. However, the 2+2 analysis only scratches the surface: the distribution of foot-, word- and line-types in Psalm 111 is also regu- lated by prosodic principles. 1 A special word of thanks to Elan Dresher, to whom this paper is dedicated, and whose continued support and encouragement through the years have kept me working away at generative grammar and Tiberian Hebrew phonology (or as I pre- fer, ‘generative Masoretics’). It should be obvious that Dresher’s seminal 1994 study is my constant inspiration throughout. I must also recognize John Hobbins and his invaluable online resources, espe- cially his detailed bibliographies and history of research (see http://ancienthebrew poetry.typepad.com). He was quick with voluminous and insightful feedback on earlier drafts, and the study is many times better as a result.

Chabad Jewish centers and services thrive in 48 U.S. States and 81 countries worldwide. Yet—cover image notwithstanding—this magazine is not really about the greatness of the Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M.

Over 40 years of public leadership, the Rebbe showed unshakeable trust in every person’s ability to make this world a di- vine place. With unquestioning love and a soft sense of urgency, he provided the tools for millions to find that ability within themselves.

JEHUDA BEN-BII/AH, ON THE SAME SUBJECT, IN THE ORIGINAL ARABIC. BY WILLIAM WICKES, D.D. AT THE CLARENDON PRESS 1881 [All rights reserved.] -n 1\ PREFACE, IN preparing the following treatise I have had to depend almost entirely on my own investigations. The Christian accentuologists of the 1 7th and i8th centuries, to whom we owe the discovery of the leading principles that underlie the Hebrew accentuation, I all were not successful (as, presume, who have consulted their Works will allow) in dealing with the peculiar system of the three so-called Poetical Books. I have gained therefore but little help from them. In the present century, only two scholars, Ewald and Baer, have ventured on an independent examination 1 of the subject. Ewald's speculations I have not been able to 2 accept. Baer's treatises which shew very careful preparation, ^tODHJD and are valuable, as containing (like Heidenheim's D^ft^tDn for the twenty-one Books) the traditional views handed down by Rabbinical authorities I did not find reach far enough for my purpose. I may draw attention to one respect in which the present Work differs from any of those which have preceded it. It is founded, in a great measure, on an extensive examination of MSS. I soon saw that even our best texts need correction, as far as the accents are without a correct I could not concerned ; and that, text, hope to establish any rules on a satisfactory basis.
