In this expanded version of James Barr’s classic work, three additional articles by the author are added. They are (1) Philology and Exegesis: Some General Remarks, with Illustrations from Job, (2) Ugaritic and Hebrew sbm? and (3) Limitations of Etymology as a Lexicographical Instrument in Biblical Hebrew. The text of the original edition (Oxford University Press, 1968) remains unchanged. In addition to the seventy-five pages of additional material, this expanded version concludes with a postscript by Professor Barr, placing the articles within the context of the book.
