Hebrew III

Reading the Old Testament

This course series takes a unique approach to learning Biblical Hebrew, utilizing worship songs in Hebrew as the basis for learning. By immersing ourselves in Hebrew songs, absorbing vocabulary and studying grammar becomes more of a joyful activity and less of a chore. This method also directs our study of Biblical Hebrew straight to its end goal from the start—to glorify the God who has given us his priceless word. Thus, the aim of this course series is to take someone without any knowledge of Hebrew and to equip them to begin reading and understanding the text.

Hebrew III greatly expands students’ knowledge of verbs, covering the imperfect form, imperatives, and infinitives. We also will examine cantillation marks in more detail, all while continuing to add on more vocabulary. These topics round off all major grammatical features of biblical Hebrew, making “Reading the Old Testament” a truly fitting subtitle and legitimate expectation for students.

[[ This series includes Hebrew I, II, III, and IV—equivalent to more than one year of seminary-level Hebrew. ]]

About the “studying with precision” series
To precisely divide the Word of God, we must learn the biblical languages. This is a long, hard road—but one with great reward. It is through a careful study of Hebrew and Greek that the gospel is guarded from false teaching. It is by the study of these ancient languages that the Church is adorned with the full counsel of God.
