Summary:

This new monograph on the Hebrew verb examines those instances in which the qatal form (the so-called \'perfect\' or suffix conjugation) appears to refer to present or future events. The \'gnomic\', \'prophetic\', and \'performative\' perfects are each treated in turn. This study is especially intended for Hebrew linguists and scholars of the Old Testament, but its results will be of interest to scholars of other Semitic languages as well.
