The Days of Our Years: A Lexical Semantic Study of the Life Cycle in Biblical Israel (The Library of Hebrew Bible/Old Testament Studies)

This study is an investigation into the lexical meanings of Hebrew terms for the human life cycle in the Old Testament. The investigation differs from previous studies in that the terms are studied from the perspective of a specific semantic domain (age) and not in isolation from each other. In addition, other modern linguistic approaches are applies, including syntagmatic and paradigmatic analysis.
