Lesson 5 | Vocab

Assignment

Instructions

  1. Circle each non-prefix conjunction in black (i.e. all except the ו prefix conjunction).
  2. Highlight each qal participle in grey.
  3. Translate the text using the helps under each verse. Remember...
  4. Translate each word literally; don’t try to smooth things out.
  5. If the word has more than one gloss in your vocab sheet, try to choose the best translation in context.
  6. Don’t forget to translate the definite article.
The verses below are a bit longer than those you have done thus far. But don’t let this discourage you—let it encourage you…. For we think you can handle it!
