Lesson 8 | Vocab

Assignment

Instructions

  1. Use the cheat sheet to mark the Hebrew text with circles, highlights, and zigzag underlines for the elements you have learned:
  2. Non-prefix conjunctions
  3. Qal participles (both highlight and zigzag underline these)
  4. Qal perfect form verbs (i.e. regular perfects and sequential-perfects)
  5. Translate the text using the helps under each verse.
There are fewer helps here than usual, and that should encourage you, because that means you know most of the vocab and verb forms for this passage! You’ve come a long way since the beginning of Hebrew I.
