## What it is about

A one-page editor's note introducing Rezetko and Young's long review of research on the history and dating of Biblical Hebrew in the same issue. It explains the journal's policy of publishing very long technical papers and conference reports, says that peer reviewers could not be found in time so the piece appears as a research report rather than a reviewed article, quotes one reviewer's praise and another's reservations, and invites critical responses.

## Ideas

Ideas: none for Mova. The note contains no linguistic claim or data; the substance is in the Rezetko–Young report, which has its own card (`hbo-2019-rezetko-currents-historical-linguistics-linguistic-dating`).

## For Mova

Nothing to apply. If chapter 12 cites the Rezetko–Young report, it can note, as this editorial does, that it was published as an unreviewed report.
