A book that I'm reading (J. Alberto Soggin, "Israel in the Biblical Period. Institutions, Festivals, Ceremonies, Rituals", 2001), talking about the Jerusalem Temple, states that "certain authors have seen in the dates of the beginning and of the end of the construction works elements of the yearly cicle of the Cananean ba'al", but no bibliographic reference is given supporting the statement. What does he refer to? Can someone point me to sources of information on this matter? Thanks a lot. Look forward to your replies. Behemot

I asked the same question to Greg Stafford by posting it on his site's "Interactive Chat" (www.elihubooks.com) and here is his reply (posted at 2007-12-21 06:26:41, PST ):
Hello, Behemot:
The Hebrew waw is not only used as a conjunction but it also, when it precedes certain verbal forms, can have many other semantic
indications. In this case, it is combined with the future/imperfect form (YiTeN) of the verb NaTaN (“give”), and so the meaning of the preceding
waw as “in time” is quite possible. This combination (waw + imperfect [= yiqtol]) is known as a “wayyiqtol,” and when used it can indicate a
succession such as “and then,” or even “in time.” Of course, the actual “time” between successions is often not clearly indicated, but it can be
interpreted to some degree based on the events in the surrounding context. So you should look at the context of events and how they are
presented overall in relation to words used in order to determine whether or not the succession is immediate or if there is some time between
events that may be appropriately communicated in the translation.
Regards,
Greg
So, I wonder, did scholar find, copy and paste Greg's reply or ... ?
