Abstract
This article seeks to define the various syntagmas in which the suffix conjugation is employed in biblical Hebrew. The tense functions: Present, Past and Future are discussed under their respective syntactical constructions which in turn are placed in the matrix of ancient discourse. The suffix conjugation is understood as a pattern derived from the stative adjective in the most ancient documented Afro-Asiatic languages, viz. Egyptian and Akkadian.
