    Shalom and Welcome to this course on how to use a biblical Hebrew Lexicon!

  • Overview of the Course2:42

    Section 1 is an introduction, which gives a general overview of the course and provides important documents, such as the "Hebrew Alphabet Chart" and the first "Handout". I introduced myself and my background briefly at the very beginning of this first section.

    Section 2 gives background information for using a biblical Hebrew lexicon. This section is all about recognizing the different parts of a word. You will learn how to approach Hebrew nouns and verbs and how to parse them.

    Section 3 is the key section of the course. In this third section, you meet 5 biblical Hebrew lexicons with download instructions. In a brief introduction, you learn about their history and scope. After that, you learn how to use them. I give many biblical Hebrew words as examples and illustrate the use of the lexicons by comparing the ways the lexicons are arranged. At the end of this third section, I introduce two helpful websites that help you to look up vocabulary online.

    Section 4 introduces our website www.hebrewthroughthebible and the social media presence of “Hebrew Through the Bible”. You are welcome to get in touch with me and with a large community of individuals who engage in the study of biblical Hebrew and share their knowledge.

    How to use the lesson material for best results?
    Most of the lessons are audio-visual presentations of the material covered in the respective lesson. Handouts that you can print out and use for later reference accompany the videos.
    A topic that has been touched on briefly in the video will be explained in more detail in the body of the lesson. In addition to these handouts, other documents, e.g. screenshots, lexicon entries, provide the complete collection of charts and tables. External links to useful websites or web services are provided where necessary.

    This course assumes that you know the consonants and vowels of the Hebrew Alphabet.
    The available Hebrew Alphabet Chart lists not only the Hebrew consonants, but also the transliteration we will be using throughout the course.

    Please print the Hebrew Alphabet Chart for your reference.

    An introduction to the Hebrew verbal and nominal system is usually covered in a Biblical Hebrew beginner's course. For private tutorials with Michal or links to online courses, please visit my website Hebrew Through the Bible.

    The familiarity with the Hebrew nominal and verbal system is an advantage, i.e. if you are able to parse a verb and to identify the derivations of a noun, you can skip the lessons that deal with these topics or use them as reference.
    However, a brief introduction to Hebrew word formation will be given in Section 2 of this course.


Requirements

  • You should know the basics of biblical Hebrew that are taught in a first year biblical Hebrew course
  • There is no need to purchase a Hebrew lexicon before taking this course.
