In this paper I present some of the main contributions of my forthcoming PhD thesis (Syntax of the Verb in the Priestly Narrative of the Pentateuch). The aim of this thesis is to determine which stage in the linguistic development of Biblical Hebrew is reflected in the syntax of the verb in the Priestly (P) narrative. In other words, I aim to answer the question whether the verbal syntax in the P narrative corresponds to Late Biblical Hebrew (LBH) usage, or Standard Biblical Hebrew (SBH) usage. Following the introductory overview of previous research, the paper is focused on some central aspects of the theoretical framework and the methodology of my investigation.

This paper identifies the wəyiqtol (jussive) clause of the indirect command construction (qtol → wəyiqtol) as a distinct type of indirect speech ‘embedded’ within direct speech in Biblical Hebrew prose, in addition to the types of indirect speech identified by C. L. Miller (2003). Unlike the other types of indirect speech, which are characterized by formal (particle) subordination, the indirect command construction is syntactically coded by parataxis. The shift from direct to indirect speech is signalled solely by a shift in deixis (2nd→3rd person).
