Deut 32:18–19 You turn men back to the dust, saying… Ps 90:3 33.3.3 After Prefix-Conjugation Forms a Wayyqtl after a prefix-conjugation (non-perfective) form may signify either a (con) sequential or an explanatory situation, in accord with the uses of perfective aspect forms after prefix-conjugation forms. b After a prefix conjugation signifying a past situation, wayyqtl signifies a (con)sequent or explanatory situation in the past time, according to one of the specific uses of the suffix conjugation in that time frame, normally definite perfective; this arrangement is found after ˒āz (## 1–2), stative situations (# 3), and incipient progressive imperfective situations (# 4). 1. חַ ֵבּז ְמ ִ עַ ֻשׁוֹהְי ה ֶנ ְבִ י זאָ Then Joshua built an altar…and they offered up… 2. . . . ַ וּל ֲעַיּ ו ַ . . . ע ֻשׁוֹהְי ר ֵבּדְי ַ זאָ ר ֶמאֹ יּ֫ וַ 3. . טוּקא ָ ה ָנ ָשׁ םי ִע ָבּר ְאַ ר ַמֹא ו ָ . . 4. ׃הָ ֶע֫ טָּ תִּ ו ַ םִיוֹגּ שׁרֵ ָג ְ Josh 8:30–31 Then Joshua spoke…and said… Josh 10:12 For forty years I was angry…so I said… Ps 95:10 תּ You drove out the nations and planted it. Ps 80:9 [Page 559] c Likewise, after regular yqtl referring to a present-time situation, wayyqtl represents a (con)sequential or explanatory situation in the same time frame according to a perfective aspect. Presuming that the prefix forms (excluding unbound short forms) set the structure of the verb sequence, we find that frequently wayyqtl, after a present progressive yqtl, has the sense of a persistent present perfective (## 5–9). After a habitual yqtl imperfective, watyqtl may have the value of a gnomic perfective (# 10). 5. . ירִ ְמ ָע תוֹקּח ֻ ר ֵמּ תַּ ְשִׁי וְ םתוֹצ ֑ ָ ֲעֹמ ְבּ וּכלְ תֵּ ו ַ . . 6. . . יחִ ְבז ִ ְבּ וּט ֲע ְבת ִ ה ָמּ לָ ֫ ךָינֶ֫ ָבּ־תא ֶ דבֵּ ַכתְּ וַ . You observe the statues of Omri,…and so you follow their (the Ahabites’) traditions. Mic 6:16 Why do you scorn my sacrifice…and honor your sons more than me?

Hos 8:13 The blacksmith (with) an iron tool(?)—he works (with it) in the coals; he shapes it with hammers, and forges it with the strength of his arm… Isa 44:12 Suffix and prefix forms with the same time reference probably complement one another (31.3c). In # 11 a progressive imperfective is associated with a persistent present perfective, and wayyqtl continues the persistent perfective; in # 12–13 a wayyqtl form continues a progressive imperfective and in # 12 precedes a persistent present perfective. 12. 11. י ִעג ְ ִנ דגֶ ֶנּ֫ ִמ . . . יבַ הֹא ֲ קֹחרָ ֵמ יבוֹר ַ ְקוּ וּדֹמ֑ ֫ ֲעַי וּשׁ ְק נְי ַ ו ַ ׃וּדמָ ֫ ָע י ִשׁ פְ ַנ י ֵשׁ ְק בַ ְמ . וּר ֵ֫בּ דְי ַ םוֹל ָשׁ אֹ ל י ִכּ םהי ֶ פּ ִ י ַל ָע וּביחִ֫ רַיּ ְ וַ . . חא֑ ָ ה ֶ חאָ ה ֶ וּר ְמ א ָ֫ 13. . קידּ֑ ִ ַצ שׁפֶ ֶנ־ל ֫ ַע וּדּוֹגָי י ִל הוהי יהְי ִ וַ . . ב֑ גָּ ְשׂ מִ ל ְ My friends…stand apart (from me) for my disease, my neighbors stand far away, (so) those who seek my life set traps. Ps 38:12–13 They do not speak peaceably…and they open wide their mouths against me; they say, “Alas! Alas!” Ps 35:20–21 They band together against the righteous…so YHWH has become my fortress. Ps 94:21–22 So also wayyqtl may have a persistent perfective meaning (## 14–15) or a presenttime stative meaning (## 16–17) after an incipient imperfective.
