Description
This book is about the Hebrew tenses and how they are used in the Hebrew language. It explains that the tenses are not really tense in the English sense, and that they convey different shades of meaning.
Originally published in 1901 and aimed at students just beginning instruction in Hebrew, this book addresses the 'many fine shades of meaning' conveyed by various Hebrew tenses which are difficult to relate in English. Kennett explains that 'tense' is a misnomer when applied to Hebrew, and examines how best certain Hebrew phrases might be translated while still getting across their original meaning. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in biblical Hebrew.
