Deuteronomy 12-26: A Handbook on the Hebrew Text

In this volume, Bill Arnold and Paavo Tucker provide a foundational examination of the Hebrew text of Deuteronomy 12-26. The analysis is distinguished by the detailed yet comprehensive attention paid to the text. The authors’ exposition is a convenient pedagogical and reference tool that explains the form and syntax of the biblical text, offers guidance for deciding between competing semantic analyses, engages important text-critical debates, and addresses questions relating to the Hebrew text that are frequently overlooked or ignored by standard commentaries. Beyond serving as a succinct and accessible analytic key, Deuteronomy 12-26 also reflects the most up-to-date advances in scholarship on grammar and linguistics. This handbook proves itself an indispensable tool for anyone committed to a deep reading of the biblical text.
