Overview

Most students of biblical Hebrew quit their studies at the most crucial moment--the transition from language basics to biblical exegesis. But students can flourish early on and progress further if they are trained from the outset to read and explain biblical texts effectively. In this comprehensive introductory textbook, Professor William Fullilove teaches the basics of biblical Hebrew morphology and syntax alongside the development of exegetical skills. With a focus on developing reading ability, the course gives students rapid insight into the value of their Hebrew study, showing them how to handle God's Word with depth and robust exegesis. Each of the twenty-eight chapters has three sections: an introduction of the grammar (bringing in verbs as early as possible), grammar and reading exercises, and exegetical exercises, developing skills in the beginner that are typically reserved for more advanced students.
