Book Description

Publication Date: Oct 11 2004 | ISBN-10: 0300098642 | ISBN-13: 978-0300098648 | Edition: 2
This revised edition of the best-selling Biblical Hebrew is thoroughly updated and augmented for a new generation of students. Designed for use in a two-semester course, the book’s fifty-five lessons are constructed around Biblical verses or segments and arranged in order of increasing complexity. At the successful completion of the course, students will be well equipped to tackle prose passages on their own.
Biblical Hebrew is part of a comprehensive learning program that includes a 3-CD audio program and a companion volume, the Supplement for Enhanced Comprehension. The CDs present the alphabet, vowels, readings and cantillations of biblical passages, songs to assist with memorizing grammar concepts, selections from Psalms performed in a variety of musical styles, and all the vocabulary words from English to Hebrew. The Supplement offers reinforcement and review exercises along with more detailed and deeper discussion of topics treated briefly in the textbook.

Review

Praise for the FIRST EDITION "The authors provide thorough and lucid explanations of the grammar, and maintain a good balance between deductive and inductive approaches. . . . Fun to use. Moreover, one could hardly better spend two semesters learning biblical Hebrew than with this text."--Edwin C. Hostetter, Critical Review of Books in Religion "I have found at last what I have long sought--a textbook for beginning Hebrew. Biblical Hebrew combines two features I consider essential for a text in a biblical language, and yet have never seen together in a single book. . . . I suspect that a whole generation of pastors and young Hebraists will soon be parsing the text with terms like 'dot vowel, ' 'prefix form, ' and 'feminine period.'"--Duane A. Garrett, Criswell Theological Review "The writing style is informal, practical, and 'user friendly'. . . . I would urge teachers of Hebrew to seriously consider this text for their classes."--Wayne T. Pitard, Bulletin of Higher Hebrew Education "This is a meticulously thought out textbook that makes great demands upon students; but the end result should be an unusually strong introductory knowledge of biblical Hebrew."--Newsletter of the Association for the Development of Religious Information Services (ADRIS Newsletter)

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing pronounciation by a non-native speaker. Feb 11 1999
By A Customer
Format:Audio Cassette
Although the content of this tape was just what I was looking for, I was disappointed that it was narrated by a non-native Hebrew speaker with a thick American accent. Even as a beginning student of Hebrew my pronounciation is superior to that heard on the tape. In contrast, those tapes I've used by native speakers such as that by Mansoor have been excellent and instructive.

2.0 out of 5 stars Cutesy and incomprehensible Nov 10 2006
By K. Kurson - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Unfortunately, I received only the 3-CD audio program, not the written companion volume, "Supplement for Enhanced Comprehension." Perhaps the latter would have helped, but I don't think so. I found the little mnemonic songs incredibly cloying -- the pretentious and idiotic musings of a bunch of Yalie turds who think they're OH SO CLEVER AND CUTE. The "Hebrew Blues" and little a capella takes on dik duk set to "Frere Jacques" wouldn't be so bad ... if they only taught something. The best of Debbie Friedman's stuff not only is catchy and beautifully performed, but leaves the listener with actual knowledge. This stuff was much more focused on amusing its creators. Worse, many of the songs are incomprehensible without the text -- like "Words 1-99," in which different Hebrew words are simply spoken at random. Very disappointing.
