Property: Notes for Situation Type
From Psalms: Layer by Layer
J
"Day and night" indicates ongoing activity. +
P
A gnomic sense and so time-irrelevant here. +
H
Again, the obscurity of כְּשֵׁ֖מַע לַעֲדָתָֽם makes it hard to know what is going on here. +
I
Formally, this word is a verbal adjective modifying ידעונים. It is grouped with ‘chirping’ (מצפצפים) suggesting that the activity so named is only a component of the occult episode. +
P
Gnomic +
I
In light of the morphology, I'm not sure which viewpoint aspect to assign to this instance. +
P
Jeremiah 10:24 informs us that correction with wrath results in the patient being מֻמְעָט; this event seems like it has little to no duration. +
None of these categories seems appropriate to this gnomic statement/rhetorical question. +
I
Not clear +
D
2
Same as 1 King 12:14 +
Same as 1 Kings 12:11 +
J
P
See entry for Prov 19.18 +
See the analysis of Psalm 6:2 +
The injunction to הִוָּסֵר follows a description of the king's power and authority, as if the state of נוֹסָר is entered into after deliberation of this description. +
The qatal morphology leads me to interpret perfect viewpoint aspect; the adverb ‘at night’, however, introduces the possibility that the Psalmist means to convey the action mimetically. +
