Nahum in the Light of Northwest Semitic
by K.J. Cathcart
This study attempts to explain many of the difficulties on Nahum by utilizing the materials now available as a result of epigraphical discoveries and subsequent advances in the study of comparative Semitic philology and comparative ancient Near East literatures. The author believes that grammatical, syntactical and lexical problems can often be adequately explained by comparative Northwest Semitic philology, thus removing the necessity for improvement of the text. The first part of each chapter presents the Hebrew text with syllable and stress counts and a new translation. The second part of each chapter is a philological commentary in which grammatical, syntactical and lexical problems are examined in the light of North-west Semitic.
