Biblearc EQUIP

Hebrew I, Hebrew II, and Hebrew III (or equivalent Hebrew study in another capacity).

This course is composed of ten lessons, with each lesson ending in an assignment. A single Vocab lesson will take the average student 5-6 hours to complete, and a single Grammar lesson 7-8 hours. Students are invited to progress at their own pace. Your coach will inquire as to your intended pace shortly after you begin and help keep you accountable to stay on schedule.

Our language courses all end with an assessment to determine your grasp of the skills learned and material covered. Successfully passing an assessment requires a high degree of understanding and is meant to serve as a motivation to take your study seriously as well as a catalyst to improve the standard of Bible study in the Biblearc community.

Students who successfully complete the course and pass the assessment will earn Biblearc’s Hebrew IV Certificate. If you do not pass an assessment, you may retry after one week’s time.

This course is currently available in English only.

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 him/her to begin reading and understanding the text.

Hebrew IV builds upon the grammatical foundation laid in Hebrew I-III, focusing on using text hierarchy to accurately interpret the Hebrew text of Scripture.

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