The translation provides a view of the Hebrew verbal system in the Hellenistic period (approx. 150 BCE) as part of the continuum in the development of the Hebrew verbal system from classical biblical Hebrew to Mishnaic Hebrew. The translation also testifies to the trend in the process of the translation of the Bible from the freer (but still literal) translation of the Pentateuch and Samuel/Kings to the slavishly literal translation of Aquila.Supplements to Vetus Testamentum ;v. 136.Greek languageVerbHebrew languageVerbElectronic books.Greek languageVerb.Hebrew languageVerb.222/.6048Good Roger990445MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910460259103321The Septuagint's translation of the Hebrew verbal system in Chronicles2265832UNINA
