Elementary Biblical Hebrew

Elementary Biblical Hebrew: An Introduction to the Language and its History gives students a general overview of the language and focuses on its main characteristics. The text avoids a heavy-handed academic approach and instead emphasizes the basics of general understanding.

Students are exposed to commentaries and word studies that provide a strong linguistic foundation while introducing Biblical Hebrew's primary components. Chapters include strategies and hints for learning the language, as well as activities and exercises that allow for application.

The second edition features a new preface, fresh translation keys for Chapters 7 and 8, and new vocabulary words in Chapters 3 through 8.

Elementary Biblical Hebrew takes an ancient language and places it in an engaging, relevant context to make it come alive for students. The text is enriched with charts, illustrations, and full-colour photography. It is an excellent choice for courses in the language, as well as introductory or survey courses on the Old Testament.
