consecutive forms in late Hebrew: “It is at least significant that in the preponderant majority of our instances the inf. abs. occurs precisely at the point where one would expect a transition to the appropriate consecutive form of the verb.” 58 His further thesis that the substitution belongs not to the original text but to the work of scribes and copyists lacks convincing evidence. 59 [Page 596] d This use of the infinitive absolute, bound with waw and functioning in place of a finite verb, closely approximates its use as an adverbial complement, for in both constructions the infinitive qualifies a leading verb. The constructions are distinguished by the presence or absence of a conjunctive waw. Without waw the infinitive is adverbial, qualifying the same situation as the verb; with waw the infinitive is used as a finite verb and represents a situation subordinate to the leading verb. In Jer 22:19 (35.3.2 # 4), for example, the adverbial infinitives ךְ ֵל ְשׁ הַ ו ְ בוֹחס ָ ‘dragged off and thrown away,’ though coordinate with one another, are not coordinated with the verb and thus directly qualify the situation ר ֵבקִּי ָ ‘will be buried.’ In the present construction the infinitive is coordinated with the main verb and represents a situation distinct from though subordinate to it; the infinitive absolute with waw introduces a separate situation from that represented by the finite verb, though that verb specifies the person and aspect of the infinitive. 60 The infinitive can inf. infinitive absolute 58 Rubinstein, “Finite Verb,” 365. 59 So also, for example, Hammershaimb, “Infinitivus Absolutus,” 91. 60 But cf. # 16. There is a systematic exception to this pattern: in a few passages a pronoun follows the infinitive absolute and qualifies it, e.g., wəšabbēaḥ ˒ănî praised’ (Qoh 4:2), wənahăpôk hû˒ ‘it has been charged’ (Esth 9:1, cf. 3:13; Exod 36:7; 1 Chr 5:20; Esth 2:3). This is called the qatāli anāku construction and is most common in the first person; it is found in Hebrew, Phoenician, and Amarna Canaanite. See W. L. Moran, “ ‘Does Amarna Bear on Karatepe?’—An Answer,” Journal of Cuneiform Studies 6 (1952) 76–80; Moran, “The Hebrew Language in Its Northwest Semitic Background,” The Bible and the Ancient Near East: Essays in Honor of William Foxwell Albright, ed. G. E. Wright (Garden City, New York: Doubleday, 1961; reprinted, Winona Lake, Indiana: Eisenbrauns, 1979) 5472, at 61–62. Despite the clear examples in prose, this construction has been controversial; see G. R. Driver, “Some Uses of qtl in the Semitic Languages,” Proceedings of the International Conference on Semitic Studies Held in Jerusalem, 19–23 July /965 (Jerusalem: Israel Academy of Sciences and Humanities, 1969) 49–64 (all Hebrew examples are “really” perfectives); Hammershaimb, “Infinitivus Absolutus,” 91–93; David Marcus, “Studies in Ugaritic Grammar 1, ” Journal of the Ancient Near Fastern Society 1/2 (1968) 55–61; Samuel Loewenstamm, “Remarks upon the Infinitive Absolute in Ugaritic and Phoenician,” Journal of the Ancient Near Eastern Society 2 (1969) 53. On occurrences of the infinitive absolute used as a finite verb in verse, see Moran, “Hebrew Language,” 62; M. O’Connor, Hebrew Verse Structure (Winona Lake, Indiana: Eisenbrauns, 1980) 170, 181, 210, 227, 289. The unusual construction śāś
e found in sequence with a perfective form (## 12–13), a non-perfective form (## 14–15), a jussive (# 16), a wəqtl form (# 17), a wayyqtl form (# 18), a participle (35.5.3), or an infinitive construct (35.5.4). 13. 12. תיבּ־ל ֵ א ֶ יתי ִ ֵל֫ גְ ִנ הלֹגְ ִנהֲ וֹתֹא רֹח ָבוּ . . . ךָיבִ֫ אָ Did I reveal myself to your father’s house…and choose it… 1 Sam 2:27–28 דוֹפסָ ו ְ םתֶּ ְמ ַצ־י ִכּ when you fasted and mourned 14. וֹא . . . וּר ְכּ ְמ ת־י ִ ִכוְ הֹנקָ 15. . . . רדֶ נ ֶ֫ רֹדִּי־י ִכּ שׁיאִ ה ָע ֻב ְשׁ עבַ ָשּׁ ֫ ה־וֹא ִ 16. דקֵ ְפַי וְ . . . וּשׁ ְק בְ ַ י ךְ ֶל ֶמּ ֫ הַ [Page 597] 17. . . . י ַלא ֵ וּטיבִּ֫ הִ וְ ר ֵמ הָ וְ . . . וּדפְ סָ וְ 18. . . . י ִכּ הֹערְ ַפּ ארַיּ ְ וַ וֹבּל־ת ִ א ֶ דבֶּ ְכהַ וְ Zech 7:5 If you sell…or buy… Lev 25:14 When someone makes a vow…or takes an oath… Num 30:3 Let a search be made…and let the king appoint… Esth 2:2–3 They will look on me…and mourn…and grieve… Zech 12:10 Pharaoh saw that…and he hardened his heart. Exod 8:1–1 35.5.3 As a Participle a The infinitive absolute may stand as a participle, although this use is difficult to distinguish from an adverbial-accusative use. The distinctive cases involve either a verbless clause (# 1) or a mixture of infinitives and participles together (## 2–3). 1. בוֹ ֑שׁ ו ָ אוֹצר ָ תוֹיּחַ הַ וְ And the living creatures were running and returning. 2. בתָּ ְכ ִנ־ר ֶשׁ א ֲ בתָ ְכּ םוֹתּחְ ַנו ְ ךְ ֶל ֶמּ ֫ ה־ם ַ ֵשׁ ְבּ ךְ ֶל ֶמּ ֫ ה ַ ת ַע ַ֫בּ טַ בְּ 3. םי ִצ ֵע םיטִ ְקּ ַל ְמ םינִ ָבּ ַ Ezek 1:14 the writing which is written in the name of the king and sealed with the king’s ring Esth 8:8 ה The children are gathering wood and the fathers are (perfective) ˒ānōkî, Ps 119:162, is distinct, as Philip C. Schmitz observes to us, since the infinitive absolute would be śōś (cf. the form used in Isa 61:10).
