A Few Words About Me

The Hebrew Bible is a literary masterpiece, not only in its individual compositions but also in its canonical shape and unity. The triple consonantal alliteration exhibited in the first two words of the Hebrew Bible is their most salient literary, and consequently, interpretive feature. Oddly enough, this most important aspect of the opening words of the entire work has been largely ignored across the spectrum of scholarship.
