Russ Meek offers a discourse profile as a tool to analyze Hebrew historical narratives, focusing on different verb forms that contribute to the narrative's structure and flow. The profile identifies a "baseline" built around the primary verb form "Wayyiqtol," serving as the narrative's backbone. "Off-the-line" verb forms provide additional details and context but tend to slow down the story. Meek applies this profile to Genesis 11, the story of the Tower of Babel, to demonstrate its practical utility. Different verb forms are color-coded to highlight their roles, offering insights into the passage's storytelling techniques. While not ranking the importance of each verb form, the discourse profile helps in understanding the structure and rhythm of ancient Hebrew narratives.
