Description

In 26 lessons, this "Guide to the Hebrew Language" introduces the reader to the Hebrew language of the Old Testament. A textbook with a didactic concept, it is intended mainly for first year students who are preparing for their Hebrew exam. It can however also be used by those who are studying on their own or, by virtue of its comprehensive indices, as a reference work. The book uses a great many charts which refer to pronouns, verbs and nouns and gives text examples from the Old Testament only. In order to consolidate the theoretical knowledge imparted, there are exercises on determining the grammatical form as well as translations and vocalizations. A short introduction precedes those lengthier text passages which are to be translated. These text passages show the extent to which the Hebrew language is tied to the Old Testament.
