1.   Course Objectives

This course has five goals:

  • To take some of the frustration out of reading large portions of the biblical text.
  • To slowly introduce students to intermediate grammar, inductively
  • To help the students to become so accustomed to studying the biblical text in Hebrew that they will continue doing so after they have left their formal schooling environment.
  •  Give students a basic insight into the problem of Bible interpretation and translation.
  • To consolidate and apply the basics of biblical Hebrew grammar
