This book gives a voice to the 'voiceless' commentary reflected in the Hebrew cantillation and examines its correlation with the traditional Jewish biblical commentary. This examination confronts the cantillation commentary with Chazal commentary, with the commentary that arises from the Aramaic translations of the Bible and with the traditional Jewish commentary of the Middle Ages and the generations that followed.

The book deals with the characteristics and constructions of all the types of content clauses in Hebrew: attributive (including the story opening formula " ma'ase še…" and its transformations), subjective (asyndetic -- including direct speech clauses – and syndetic) and predicative clauses. In addition, it deals also with the development of these clauses in the various periods of the Hebrew language.
