Description:

Excellent in every way. A reminder for student's of Hebrew that the Hebrew language existed for many years before the Hebrew Bible was written. Many words found in Hebrew vocabulary are found in Ugaritic vocabulary. Mitchell Dahood has made much of Ugaritic literature as a precursor to Hebrew, failing to understand the unique contribution of Hebrew literature expostulating the "idea of the Holy' that exceeded the Ugaritic concept of the holy.
