Hebrew finds a place in this taxonomy but only as a minor offspring of the great family to which it is related. However, to students of the Bible who take it seriously, Hebrew looms largest of them all because to them it was the divinely chosen conduit through which God revealed himself and his purposes for creation and history. One purpose of this paper among others is to justify the inordinate attention paid to this otherwise marginal tongue. Procedurally the paper will (1) survey the origin and development of the Semitic languages and literatures; (2) locate Hebrew within the larger family of the Semitic languages; and (3) engage the issue of the Hebrew language and the biblical text vis-à-vis their literary and larger cultural contexts.","author":[{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"Person","name":"Eugene

Building on theoretical and methodological concepts in general historical linguistics and in diachronic linguistic research on various ancient Near Eastern and Indo-European languages, the authors reflect critically on issues such as the objective of the research, the nature of the written sources, and the ideas of variation and periodization. They draw on innovative work on premodern scribally created writings to argue for a similar application of a joint history of texts and history of language approach to ancient Hebrew. The application of cross-textual variable analysis and variationist analysis in various case studies shows that more complete descriptions and evaluations of the distribution of linguistic data advances our understanding of historical developments in ancient Hebrew.</p><div class="ds-related-work--ctas"><button class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{"location":"wsj-grid-card-download-pdf-modal","work_title":"2014 Rezetko Young Historical Linguistics and Biblical Hebrew","attachmentId":94285154,"attachmentType":"pdf","work_url":"https://www.academia.edu/24576955/2014_Rezetko_Young_Historical_Linguistics_and_Biblical_Hebrew","alternativeTracking":true}"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">download</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download free PDF</span></button><a class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-wsj-grid-card-view-pdf" href="https://www.academia.edu/24576955/2014_Rezetko_Young_Historical_Linguistics_and_Biblical_Hebrew"><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View PDF</span><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">chevron_right</span></a></div></div><div class="ds-related-work--container js-wsj-grid-card" data-collection-position="5" data-entity-id="28340900" data-sort-order="default"><a class="ds-related-work--title js-wsj-grid-card-title ds2-5-body-md ds2-5-body-link" href="https://www.academia.edu/28340900/EHLL_Northwest_Semitic_Languages_and_Hebrew">EHLL: Northwest Semitic Languages and Hebrew</a><div class="ds-related-work--metadata"><a class="js-wsj-grid-card-author ds2-5-body-sm ds2-5-body-link" data-author-id="53141098" href="https://lmu-munich.academia.edu/HolgerGzella">Holger Gzella</a></div><div class="ds-related-work--ctas"><button class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{"location":"wsj-grid-card-download-pdf-modal","work_title":"EHLL: Northwest Semitic Languages and Hebrew","attachmentId":48673656,"attachmentType":"pdf","work_url":"https://www.academia.edu/28340900/EHLL_Northwest_Semitic_Languages_and_Hebrew","alternativeTracking":true}"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">download</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download free PDF</span></button><a class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-wsj-grid-card-view-pdf" href="https://www.academia.edu/28340900/EHLL_Northwest_Semitic_Languages_and_Hebrew"><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View PDF</span><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">chevron_right</span></a></div></div><div class="ds-related-work--container js-wsj-grid-card" data-collection-position="6" data-entity-id="9939650" data-sort-order="default"><a class="ds-related-work--title js-wsj-grid-card-title ds2-5-body-md ds2-5-body-link" href="https://www.academia.edu/9939650/2002_Introduction_The_Study_of_Near_Eastern_Languages_in_Biblical_Scholarship">2002 Introduction: The Study of Near Eastern Languages in Biblical Scholarship</a><div class="ds-related-work--metadata"><a class="js-wsj-grid-card-author ds2-5-body-sm ds2-5-body-link" data-author-id="5740" href="https://utexas.academia.edu/JohnHuehnergard">John Huehnergard</a></div><p class="ds-related-work--metadata ds2-5-body-xs">Beyond Babel: A Handbook for Biblical Hebrew and Related Languages., 2002</p><div class="ds-related-work--ctas"><button class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{"location":"wsj-grid-card-download-pdf-modal","work_title":"2002 Introduction: The Study of Near Eastern Languages in Biblical Scholarship","attachmentId":36090515,"attachmentType":"pdf","work_url":"https://www.academia.edu/9939650/2002_Introduction_The_Study_of_Near_Eastern_Languages_in_Biblical_Scholarship","alternativeTracking":true}"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">download</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download free PDF</span></button><a class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-wsj-grid-card-view-pdf" href="https://www.academia.edu/9939650/2002_Introduction_The_Study_of_Near_Eastern_Languages_in_Biblical_Scholarship"><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View PDF</span><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">chevron_right</span></a></div></div><div class="ds-related-work--container js-wsj-grid-card" data-collection-position="7" data-entity-id="36713607" data-sort-order="default"><a class="ds-related-work--title js-wsj-grid-card-title ds2-5-body-md ds2-5-body-link" href="https://www.academia.edu/36713607/Biblical_Hebrew_in_Context_Essays_in_Semitics_and_Old_Testament_Texts_in_Honour_of_Professor_Jan_P_Lettinga_Oudtestamentische_Studi%C3%ABn_74_">Biblical Hebrew in Context: Essays in Semitics and Old Testament Texts in Honour of Professor Jan P.

The goal of this paper is to demonstrate the relevance of the Ugaritic data for the historical study of Hebrew particularly of Hebrew lexical items and to trace the semantic development of the noun *lwh from Ugarit to Qumran Hebrew (QH), comparing when necessary with the mater-term *sefer and other terms for writing. the book is available online: https://www.openbookpublishers.com/product/1392</p><div class="ds-related-work--ctas"><button class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{"location":"wsj-grid-card-download-pdf-modal","work_title":"FROM luah TO sefer AND BACK: AN EPISODE IN BIBLICAL HEBREW HISTORICAL LINGUISTICS","attachmentId":67368666,"attachmentType":"pdf","work_url":"https://www.academia.edu/48978042/FROM_luah_TO_sefer_AND_BACK_AN_EPISODE_IN_BIBLICAL_HEBREW_HISTORICAL_LINGUISTICS","alternativeTracking":true}"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">download</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download free PDF</span></button><a class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-wsj-grid-card-view-pdf" href="https://www.academia.edu/48978042/FROM_luah_TO_sefer_AND_BACK_AN_EPISODE_IN_BIBLICAL_HEBREW_HISTORICAL_LINGUISTICS"><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View PDF</span><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">chevron_right</span></a></div></div><div class="ds-related-work--container js-wsj-grid-card" data-collection-position="9" data-entity-id="80358523" data-sort-order="default"><a class="ds-related-work--title js-wsj-grid-card-title ds2-5-body-md ds2-5-body-link" href="https://www.academia.edu/80358523/Review_of_Early_Biblical_Hebrew_Late_Biblical_Hebrew_and_Linguistic_Variability_A_Sociolinguistic_Evaluation_of_the_Linguistic_Dating_of_Biblical_Texts_VTSup_156_Leiden_Brill_2013_">Review of Early Biblical Hebrew, Late Biblical Hebrew, and Linguistic Variability: A Sociolinguistic Evaluation of the Linguistic Dating of Biblical Texts (VTSup, 156; Leiden: Brill, 2013)</a><div class="ds-related-work--metadata"><a class="js-wsj-grid-card-author ds2-5-body-sm ds2-5-body-link" data-author-id="11162896" href="https://wels.academia.edu/KennethCherney">Kenneth Cherney</a></div><p class="ds-related-work--metadata ds2-5-body-xs">Journal of Hebrew Scriptures, 2013</p><div class="ds-related-work--ctas"><button class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{"location":"wsj-grid-card-download-pdf-modal","work_title":"Review of Early Biblical Hebrew, Late Biblical Hebrew, and Linguistic Variability: A Sociolinguistic Evaluation of the Linguistic Dating of Biblical Texts (VTSup, 156; Leiden: Brill, 2013)","attachmentId":86767056,"attachmentType":"pdf","work_url":"https://www.academia.edu/80358523/Review_of_Early_Biblical_Hebrew_Late_Biblical_Hebrew_and_Linguistic_Variability_A_Sociolinguistic_Evaluation_of_the_Linguistic_Dating_of_Biblical_Texts_VTSup_156_Leiden_Brill_2013_","alternativeTracking":true}"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">download</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download free PDF</span></button><a class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-wsj-grid-card-view-pdf" href="https://www.academia.edu/80358523/Review_of_Early_Biblical_Hebrew_Late_Biblical_Hebrew_and_Linguistic_Variability_A_Sociolinguistic_Evaluation_of_the_Linguistic_Dating_of_Biblical_Texts_VTSup_156_Leiden_Brill_2013_"><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View PDF</span><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">chevron_right</span></a></div></div></div></div><div class="ds-sticky-ctas--wrapper js-loswp-sticky-ctas hidden"><div class="ds-sticky-ctas--grid-container"><div class="ds-sticky-ctas--container"><button class="ds2-5-button js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{"location":"continue-reading-button--sticky-ctas","attachmentId":93341567,"attachmentType":"pdf","workUrl":null}">See full PDF</button><button class="ds2-5-button ds2-5-button--secondary js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{"location":"download-pdf-button--sticky-ctas","attachmentId":93341567,"attachmentType":"pdf","workUrl":null}"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 20px" translate="no">download</span>Download PDF</button></div></div></div><div class="ds-below-fold--grid-container"><div class="ds-work--container js-loswp-embedded-document"><div class="attachment_preview" data-attachment="Attachment_93341567" style="display: none"><div class="js-scribd-document-container"><div class="scribd--document-loading js-scribd-document-loader" style="display: block;"><img alt="Loading..." src="//a.academia-assets.com/images/loaders/paper-load.gif" /><p>Loading Preview</p></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="scribd--no-preview-alert js-preview-unavailable"><p>Sorry, preview is currently unavailable.
