Davidson

A completely revised and up-to-date edition of Andrew Bruce Davidson's classic Hebrew Syntax. "This new edition broadly follows Davidson's ordering of the topics, and not infrequently its treatment of individual constructions. But, as is only to be expected after so long an interval, a good number of modifications have had to be made to take account not only of subsequent research on points of detail but of modern trends in language study as a whole. Some of the modifications were adumbrated in Dr James Martin's recent new edition of its companion volume Davidson's Introductory Hebrew Grammar, 27th Edition (T&T Clark, 1993); others go beyond what he, understand-ably, considered appropriate for beginners. In my view the more advanced students for whom this textbook is intended should now be ready for these. I hope that the mixture of the old and the new which results, fairly represents current thinking in biblical Hebrew syntax in the last decade of the twentieth century."--J. C. L. Gibson
