Footnote 2 – “More Than Any Man Has Ever Done”

Under certain circumstances, the Hebrew letter waw, when placed before a verb, changes its tense; future becomes past, and past, future. This is, of course, a gross simplification of Hebrew grammar. Any basic text, such as Choon-Leong Seow’s A Grammar for Biblical Hebrew (Nashville: Abingdon, 1987), will discuss the waw consecutive.
