About the Authors
  • 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.

    • Introduces the fundamental features of the Tiberian Hebrew accentuation system
    • Provides innovative methods of diagramming biblical texts by the Hebrew accents, exploring the hierarchy and dichotomy rules
    • Offers biblical insights from extensive examples on the exegesis of biblical texts using the accentual divisions
