Graded Reader of Biblical Hebrew: A Guide to Reading the Hebrew Bible
A Graded Reader of Biblical Hebrew is the ideal next step for the student who has completed a year of elementary Hebrew or a refresher for language skills diminished from lack of use. Immersion in the language is the best way to reinforce what you have already learned and to gain greater proficiency in using the language for exegesis and preaching.A Graded Reader is a structured introduction to reading biblical Hebrew texts. Through these readings, you will be able to review basic Hebrew grammar, become familiar with issues of intermediate grammar, and gain confidence in handling the Hebrew text. Arranged generally in order of increasing difficulty, the chosen readings span the whole of the Old Testament. They also represent some of the most important Old Testament texts from the standpoint of biblical history, theology, and exegesis.The many notes that accompany the text include information on grammar, exegetically significant constructions, vocabulary words, idioms, bibliographic information, and more. Parsing exercises are included with each reading, and there is room for you to write your own English translation.With the power of Pradis®, you can quickly view the text of a hyperlinked Bible verse in your favorite translation (sold separately).
