The Torah: A Hebrew Reader - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

This is a Hebrew reader for The Torah. The Torah (or Pentateuch) is a treasure to be read in the Hebrew language. It is designed as a useful cost-efficient tool for two groups of people. First, for students learning Biblical Hebrew after a year’s worth of study this book and its series provide the material to grow in reading ability from the primary texts. Second, this book is designed for pastors, rabbis, scholars, and curious lay people looking to refresh their Hebrew, or use them in preparation for their work of study, preaching, and teaching.

The book immerses the reader in the biblical texts in order to build confidence reading Biblical Hebrew as quickly as possible. To achieve this, all uncommon words that occur 60 times or fewer in the Bible are glossed as footnotes. This enables the reader to continue reading every passage unhindered. Therefore, the book complements traditional language grammars and is especially ideal for beginner and intermediate students learning to read Biblical Hebrew. However, even advanced readers will appreciate the glossing of the rare words, since it saves time reading the text.

Other features include:

• Biblical maps in Hebrew
• Paradigm charts of noun and verbs
• Glossary of all the words not glossed below the text
• Formatted poetry
• Qere / Ketivs marked in the margins
• Tables of Masoretic accents
• Wide margins
