Good book, Jan 1 2008
By Colette "All about Books" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The First Hebrew Reader: Guided Selections from the Hebrew Bible (Paperback)
I ordered this book after finishing "The First Hebrew Primer." It's a great transition book to actually reading the Bible in Hebrew. The vocabulary taught in the Primer is used in the Reader so you can start reading the Hebrew text the first day the book arrives. It also provides an analysis of how all the verbs are used which is very useful.

TORAH, Jan 8 2005
By Scamp Lumm "Littlesorrel/christian zionist" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The First Hebrew Reader: Guided Selections from the Hebrew Bible (Paperback)
The Torah contains the first five books of the Bible, also called the books of Moses, or, in Greek, the Pentateuch. It can also, more loosely translated, refer to the entire Hebrew Bible, the christians' Old Testament, the jews' Tanakh. The First Hebrew Reader is designed for folks like me, beginners, who want to learn biblical Hebrew. So, the book and Cd have chosen 18 readings, of no more than 25 verses each, from each of the three major sections of the Tanakh, to teach very basic Hebrew. I bought my copy from a jewish bookstore in Boston. I also have some flashcards of Hebrew words from EKS publishing, the same publisher of this book. If you plan to go to seminary where you'll have to learn Hebrew and Greek, these teaching materials will give you a jump start on this very ancient language. The first two readings are the most famous stories of Abraham, the father, patriarch, of the jews, and also of the Ishmaelites, ancestors of some arabs. The first story is that of G-d's covenant with Abraham, and the second is the story of the binding of Isaac which demonstrates Abraham's solid faith and resolve, and G-d's mercy in sparing Isaac from death. The textbook has arranged the Hebrew text in a very readable form. The strange Hebrew letters are enlarged and in bold throughout the book with the passage for study shown in Hebrew at the start of each chapter, then broken down, phrase by phrase, with the English translation juxtaposed. The ten commandments in Hebrew is the sixth reading: don't kill, don't steal, don't bear false witness etc. Good words to go by, plus you'll be able to say them in the original language they were given in!

First Amazon purchase!, Oct 8 2010
By Rakhel - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The First Hebrew Reader: Guided Selections from the Hebrew Bible (Paperback)
The Reader arrived sooner than I was told and it was in fine shape. The front cover had one bend mark across it, but other than that, it was in good shape and cost a lot less than new.
Listmania!
