✦ Synopsis

This is a great book for learning biblical Hebrew, both for the advanced undergraduate and for the graduate student. It offers a comprehensive but concise cover of biblical Hebrew (with vowel pointings). Easy to understand, this book will have you translating the original text (with a lexicon of course) in very little time. The problems at the end of each chapter, along with the vocabulary, will give you a solid foundation and basic understanding of biblical Hebrew. Highly recommended!
