  • Summary

    Chapter Eight investigates what role the accents plays in exegesis of the Hebrew Bible and suggests that the accents can help clarify ambiguous meanings, emphasize certain words or phrases, and create dramatic effect in biblical narrative. The various examples provided clearly demonstrate that the masoretic accents can have significant bearing on the exegesis of the biblical text. By paying close attention to the accentual divisions of the text, our understanding of the biblical text is enhanced and we can attain insights that Hebrew syntax alone may not provide.

  • This book is designed to serve as a textbook for intermediate Hebrew students and above. Sung Jin Park presents the fundamental features of the Tiberian Hebrew accents, focusing on their divisions and exegetical roles. Providing innovative methods for diagramming biblical texts, the volume explores the two major rules (hierarchy and dichotomy) of disjunctive accents. Students will also attain biblical insights from the exegetical application of the biblical texts that Hebrew syntax alone does not provide. Park's volume shows how the new perspectives on Hebrew accents enhance our understanding of biblical texts.
