Class Description:
This five credit course, which is the first of a two semester series, provides a logical introduction to the language, grammar, and vocabulary of the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament. We work systematically through a standard textbook and begin to read actual samples of bibilical texts. This course will benefit students interested in the language, religion, culture of ancient Israel and the ancient Near East. It will also permit students to read and understand the grammar of medieval and modern Hebrew, and provides the essential background for subsequent work in graduate school or seminary. Students will also learn ways to approach learning a classical language. Classes will include grammar exercises, translation, and oral drills. Required Texts Thomas O. Lambdin, Introduction to Biblical Hebrew (New York: Scribners, 1971). Gary A. Long, Grammatical Concepts 101 for Biblical Hebrew: Learning Biblical Hebrew Grammatical Concepts Through English Grammar (Peabody, MA: Hendrickson, 2002) Course Reader.
