Sessions
Hebrew Fundamentals: The Participle
Dr. Russell T. Fuller
Mastering the fundamentals is essential for any field of study or pursuit. What are the fundamentals for the Biblical Hebrew participle? A participle is a verbal adjective, but is that the full definition of a participle? Should it be classified as a verbal form, a nominal form, or an adjectival form (or a combination of (some) these)? What are its usages in Biblical Hebrew? How does it compare and contrast with English and Greek participles? When a form can be parsed as a verb or participle, how can one decide? These and other questions will be approached from a traditional Semitic perspective.

Dr. Daniel B. Wallace
