There is one aspect of Driver's study, however, that merits mention. The very lack of technical vocabulary and comparative Semitic studies that is apparent in Hebrew Tenses is ironically one of its strengths for the student. Modern studies of Biblical Hebrew have become so specialized and so laden with technical jargon that they are fairly impenetrable to all but the most dedicated of students. The very thing Driver set out to do, to produce a handbook-sized, accessible survey of the syntax and usage of Hebrew verbs, remains a desideratum today. It would be wonderful to have something like Driver for the second-year Hebrew student.
