Shedding light on the northwestern branch of the Semitic family of languages, of which Biblical Hebrew is a member. Because of the relatively small size of the corpus of Biblical Hebrew, scholars turn to other languages in the Northwest Semitic family to understand the Hebrew Bible. These languages include Ugaritic, Aramaic, and Phoenician-Punic. The seven volumes examine the book of Job, the Aramaic Sefire Inscriptions, the Genesis Apocryphon from the Dead Sea Scrolls, and a catalog of Punic-Phoenician personal names.

Immerse yourself in ancient-language texts and detailed Scripture exegesis with the Pontifical Biblical Institute Ancient Language Studies. This 50-volume collection compiles a broad range of works—from interpretation of Scripture to grammatical analysis of Hebrew Poetry, from Aramaic inscriptions to Greek word studies.

This study is chiefly concerned with some grammatical peculiarities which either have been discovered for the first time in Ugaritic or Phoenician and afterwards also in Hebrew, or were already known from Hebrew but have received renewed attention under the impulse of Northwest Semitic studies.
