1 | What does the Vav do? | 2 Sam 7:10 | ron_wilson48 | 61271 | ||
Thanks, Tim, for all your work in sending me your answer. Yes, I realize the form of the Hebrew verb is Perfect, but to some the prefixed Vav, reverses the verb to an Imperfect in meaning, called a Vav Conversive. Others, interpret this prefixed Vav as a Vav Consecutive. I was wondering if there are any particular clues to indicate how we should treat this Vav plus Perfect. I read through very heavy Hebrew syntax material, but could not see any definite answer as to how to treat this verb. The reason for this interest is that some who belive in the British Israel theory try to use this future translation to show that there has to be another place besides Israel in the future, i.e., England. If you have access to Hebrew scholarship that might give definitive help, please let me know. Thanks, Ron |

2 | Future or incomplete? | 2 Sam 7:10 | ron_wilson48 | 61015 | ||
Thanks, Tim Moran. Yes, your answer helps. However, the next question is based on the fact that the Hebrew concept of tenses is very different than ours. If the "will appoint", is not perfect, then it is imperfect, and that does not necessarily mean strictly future, but incomplete at that time. Any comments? | ||||||
