The article discusses the study on the questions of semantics based on the arguments and the criticism of Bob Becking and Marjo Korpel in response to the analysis of Ellen van Wolde in the book of Genesis. It points and bolsters Van Wolde's arguments through critical review of earlier biblical studies, reflection on biblical semantics, and extra biblical treatments of verbs in Samaritan texts. The authors conclude that Becking and Korpel's arguments are deficient and Van Wolde's proposal in the verb used in Genesis is a viable semantics explanation.
