This study examines how classification of the adjective in Biblical Hebrew affects exegesis. The effects are studied via a representative example, the adjective gadol. After examining traditional classifications of the adjective in BH, the distribution of gadol is outlined in order to pinpoint textual features that lead to interpretive uncertainty. Data from gadol provides the framework for evaluating traditional classification and offering suggestions for heightened accuracy. This study has found that classification affects adjectival exegesis by affecting what is perceived to be modified by the adjective, how the literary shape of a passage is viewed, and whether additional senses are ascribed to an adjective, such as the superlative or adverbial. The textual environments exhibiting ambiguity with gadol are those where the adjective follows a construct chain, is part of a construct chain (in either position), is unaccompanied by an explicit modified noun, is modified by a prepositional phrase, is indefinite along with an indefinite modified noun, is preceded by ki, or is modifying a cognate accusative. The best mode of classification of the adjective in BH is one that clearly delineates it from the noun (and/or substantive) and exhibits two levels of internal functional classification: (1) attributive, substantival, and predicate, and (2) comparative, superlative, and adverbial. The substantival use of the adjective is best understood as an attributive adjective modifying a null noun.
