Barrick & Busenitz, A Grammar for Biblical Hebrew

PREFACE
Originally, the authors had composed their own individual grammars during the course of teaching Biblical Hebrew on the seminary level for many years. It was a pleasant surprise to find that each had adhered to the same basic philosophy of teaching Hebrew grammar. There were some areas that had been developed differently, but the general design was harmonious. A Grammar for Biblical Hebrew represents a combining of those two grammars. It is our hope and prayer that the use of this grammar will prove to be a joyful exercise resulting in an understanding of the Hebrew Old Testament. For this revised edition the authors present a totally new and updated vocabulary for the lessons and for the appendixes.
Special thanks is offered to Dr. Michael Grisanti, who has read and commented on this grammar as it has been (and is being) developed, and to Scott Bashoor, Brian Rickett, and Bryan Murphy who have taught the course with this textbook for a number of years. Thanks are also due to all those students who have patiently endured (and who are enduring) the process of developing and testing this volume in the classroom. Doubtless, our students have experienced the scriptural warning, ". . . beyond this, my son, be warned: the writing of many books is endless" (Eccl 12:12a, NASB). Be assured that the authors have experienced the fact that "excessive devotion to books is wearying to the body" (12:12b). As exhausting as the process might prove to be, however, we are not to be "weary of doing good" (2 Thess 3:13).
