Interjections usually appear at the beginning of a sentence or clause and are grammatically disconnectedfrom the rest of the
|
||
sentence. As in many other languages, interjections in Biblical Hebrew are most likely "natural sounds", i.e. vocal gestures or
|
||
sounds that a person utters when experiencing certain emotions. Interjections can be used to express both positive and negative
|
||
emotions; but in the Hebrew Bible, it is usually some kind of sadness. There is a whole family of interjections in Biblical
|
||
Hebrew, and none of them occur very frequently.
