Why is there no actual "Hebrew" text in the article? :/
- chipsrafferty 3y agoIs this the first Wikipedia article you've ever seen that isn't as good as it could be? Real people, most non-experts, write these pages. Not all of them are well-written or feature complete.
- maratc 3y agoNot much to be gained by adding that, as verbs in biblical Hebrew have either past or future tense (past in these cases). In this context, the term is "invented" to explain why past tense is used to describe events that haven't happened yet. This is more about Bible studies than it is about the actual Bible, so quoting the actual Bible won't add much.
- joelfried 3y agoWhy the scare quotes? There's no actual Hebrew text in that article.
- theanonymousone 3y agoI misued the quotes, sorry. I wanted to emphasise since Hebrew is mentioned in the short description of the page.
