Overview

Consecutive Verbs (Redundant Pronoun Rule)
When multiple verbs follow the same subject, English states the pronoun once. In Judean, the pronoun marker is attached to EVERY verb in the sequence.

English: "she walked and ran" (pronoun once)

Judean: "she-walked and-she-ran" (pronoun on each verb)

READING GOAL:
To recognize that each verb in a sequence carries its own subject marker.

The Rule

English: Pronoun + verb + and + verb (she walked and ran)

Judean: Conjugated-verb + ื• + Conjugated-verb

  • EVERY verb gets the pronoun marker
  • ื• (and) attaches to the second verb
  • This is called "redundant" because the pronoun appears multiple times

Examples - Perfect (Past)

EXAMPLE 1
she walked and ran
ื”ืœื›ื” ยท ื•ืจืฆื”
and-she-ran ื•ืจืฆื” ยท she-walked ื”ืœื›ื”
Both verbs have ื” suffix (she)
EXAMPLE 2
she arose and departed and came
ืงืžื” ยท ื•ื”ืœื›ื” ยท ื•ื‘ืื”
and-she-came ื•ื‘ืื” ยท and-she-departed ื•ื”ืœื›ื” ยท she-arose ืงืžื”
Each verb has ื” suffix (she)
EXAMPLE 3
he walked and ran
ื”ืœืš ยท ื•ืจืฅ
and-he-ran ื•ืจืฅ ยท he-walked ื”ืœืš
3ms has no visible suffix, but rule still applies

Examples - Imperfect (Present/Future)

EXAMPLE 4
she will walk and run
ืชื”ืœืš ยท ื•ืชืจืฅ
and-she-run ื•ืชืจืฅ ยท she-walk ืชื”ืœืš
Both verbs have ืช prefix (she)
EXAMPLE 5
she will arise and depart and come
ืชืงื•ื ยท ื•ืชืœืš ยท ื•ืชื‘ื•ื
and-she-come ื•ืชื‘ื•ื ยท and-she-depart ื•ืชืœืš ยท she-arise ืชืงื•ื
Each verb has ืช prefix (she)
EXAMPLE 6
I will walk and speak
ืืœืš ยท ื•ืื“ื‘ืจ
and-I-speak ื•ืื“ื‘ืจ ยท I-walk ืืœืš
Both verbs have ื prefix (I)

Biblical Example

1 Kings 14:17

ื•ืชืงื ื•ืชืœืš ื•ืชื‘ื

(vataqom vatelekh vatavo)

"and-she-arose and-she-departed and-she-came"

Each verb carries the feminine marker.

Key Points

  • Pronoun marker appears on EVERY verb in sequence
  • ื• (and) attaches to the conjugated verb, not as separate word
  • This applies to both Perfect and Imperfect tenses
  • 3ms (he) has no visible suffix but follows same rule
  • Called "redundant pronoun" because pronoun repeats
