Basics of Biblical Hebrew, today’s best-selling introductory Hebrew grammar, is new-and-improved with additional, linguistically nuanced explanations for some of the more difficult elements in biblical Hebrew. This second edition combines the best of inductive and deductive approaches, uses actual examples from the Hebrew Old Testament rather than made-up illustrations, emphasizes the structural pattern of the Hebrew language rather than rote memorization—resulting in a simple, enjoyable, and effective learning process—, and highlights particles added to nouns and verbs using colored text, allowing easy recognition of new forms.
