A Basic Introduction To Biblical Hebrew

A Basic Introduction to Biblical Hebrew, with CD

This grammar is excellent, by far the best to appear in thirty years. My students learned the basics of Hebrew in one semester. I wish it had been available when I was a student.-Walter E. Aufrecht, Professor of Archaeology, The University of Lethbridge --Book Jacket.

A Basic Introduction to Biblical Hebrew

Introduction to Biblical Hebrew

This introductory Hebrew textbook covers all the basics of Hebrew grammar in eleven chapters, then it leads the student through readings from the Old Testament. These inductive studies review, apply, strengthen, and supplement the earlier material, and they insure that the student will feel comfortable with the Hebrew Bible once the course is finished. Written with the learning needs of the student in mind, grammatical rules are kept to a minimum, with more comprehensive lists in the appendices. Features not found in other beginning Hebrew grammars include: 1. A section on verbless clauses; 2. Complete declensions of the prepositions with pronominal suffixes; 3. English translations of verb conjugations; 4. Successive verb conjugations are compared in parallel columns; 5. Description of verb syntax that utilizes recent advances; 6. Appendices describing the Characteristics of the Verb Stems, Summary of Verb Syntax, Guide to Parsing Hebrew Verbs, Paradigms for irregular verbs, and a Bibliography of Hebrew Resources.
