Class Description:
This four credit course, which continues Hebr 1101, provides a systematic 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 biblical 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 language of the Dead Sea Scrolls, ancient Judaism, and medieval exegesis. It provides a valuable foundation for modern Hebrew literature, and provides the essential background for subsequent work in graduate school or seminary. Students will learn ways to approach learning a classical language. Classes include grammar exercises, translation, and oral drills. HON by petition. Prerequisite: Hebr 1101 or instructor's permission.
