COURSE PURPOSE
The purpose of this course is to equip the student with the essential vocabulary and grammatical framework with which to read and, with some degree of accuracy, to translate the Hebrew Old Testament.
Objectives of the Course
Advanced Hebrew is designed to enable the student to become familiar with the language of the Old Testament, so that he may begin to read and translate the Hebrew text, and be able to avail himself to numerous Hebrew helps, both for his private study, as well as preparation for teaching. Therefore vocabulary is an important element that must be emphasized every week, and hopefully, every day. Pronunciation will be emphasized, so that the student will be able to confidently read from his Hebrew text.
