I would be interested in obscure grammars; ones not well known, but valuable. To be honest, if you talked about anything regarding biblical Hebrew I would likely be interested. My instructor was Dr. Kutz and his grammar is one of the best (Learning Biblical Hebrew: Reading for Comprehension: An Introductory Grammar). It may be called "Introductory", but a good grasp of it will put a student well ahead of others. I think it is beginner/intermediate level.
I would like to see a grammar review for a few authors. Kutz/Josenberg, Van Pelt, Futato, Fullilove, and Ross. Also if you could do Barrick Grammar, his is free on his website. Thanks.
I have Kutz, Van Pelt, Futato. I think Futato/Pelt are for beginners who go for normal track. It does not exhaustively explain all the principles. Kutz is also for beginners but it tries to explain the principles of the forms with details. If you want to make a solid foundation for Hebrew, Kutz's grammar will be the best option. If you want to understand Hebrew not with all the detailed explanation of the principles, (I honestly think not everyone needs to know all the details.) then I would recommend Pelt.
@@이성현-l4s1z I would probably start off with the simpler grammar that don’t go through all the details. Then do the second time and get more of the details. I’m not even sure just yet, because it’s not something I’ve ever been involved in. And from what I understand learning another language is very involving.
@@bma Dictionaries are powerful. Brown Driver and Briggs (BDB) is a popular Biblical Hebrew/Arabic dictionary. If you use the BDB translations then the Arabic acronym "Hamas" is going to be translated to Hebrew חָרַךְ, (Movement), מֵקִ֛ים (establishment) , and ישלם (peace/love/friendship). So "Hamas" means "Movement for establishment of Love/Peace/Friendship" according to BDB.
Thank you for the review. Would you recommend Going Deeper for self study over A Guide to Biblical Hebrew Syntax by Bill T. Arnold/John H. Choi and Invitation to Biblical Hebrew Syntax: An Intermediate Grammar by Russell Fuller/Kyoungwon Choi?
Excuse me sir! I have important questions! I tried going on the website for information about the courses then I went to how I could get my own custom Bible in Greek and hebrew! As I was there I saw I could ask questions, I tried but it didn’t work for some error occurred, it never told me what it was, so I hope you can help me out, this is a copy/paste of my questions I asked. Hello there! Thank you so much for these wonderful offers! I haven’t started learning biblical greek yet but I do have interest and may start soon, I just have a few questions. 1. This may sound stupid to ask but is the Greek/Hebrew I’ll be learning/getting my new Bible printed in is in fact Koine Greek and Biblical (Classical) Hebrew and not the modern versions of the language? 2. I have gotten a new Bible recently and I absolutely love the layout, it’s looks very luxurious in a way and it has black leather, golden rims on the pages, and even two bookmarks attached to it for Old Testament and new, the first letter of every new chapter has this golden beautiful design and even the text on the outside is printed in gold paint, would I perhaps be able to somehow get to design my new Bibles like the one I have? (For reference of what I mention please search “Sovereign collection New King James Bible” it’ll show a wide-margin black leather Bible, occasionally with a red and black case) 3. I hear a term, about reading koine Greek after learning it, about a level you get to where you “read dangerously” I don’t fully understand, or rather I wish not to assume. But does this mean that you can READ koine Greek but not fully understand? Thus causing you to make assumptions and misinterpret the Greek text? Thank you all so much for this help, and for the offers! I’ll be happy to start soon and to work well and hard so I can read, speak, and write koine greek to understand the deep meaning of the Bible myself and to help others! Godbless you all throughout all your lives! You have no idea how God led me to wanting to learn these languages and how amazing I think it would be to know them! I can’t wait to start! Thank you again sir for your help, please help me out and thank you again! Godbless you brother!
Thank you very much for the review! Could you please do more reviews for beginning grammars. I’m almost ready to start my Hebrew study now that I’ve learned the beginning level of Greek. I would love some advice on where to look to as I work on my transition after my Greek vocabulary is more robust.
I cannot understand how a supposedly academic publisher can allow for such blatant mistakes to appear in their published works, especially if they are Christian. One should expect academic level work to be made from academics. As brother Frank mentioned, we have modern technology that makes this much easier. They have no excuse. It is almost like a marketing scheme that tricks you into buying the same textbook twice due to prior errors. I will gladly wait for the revised edition. If I’m not mistaken, something similar happened to its beginning Greek grammar counterpart. What do y’all think about this?
Knowing this book's authors, I can say that most errors resulted from publisher typesetting by people who don't know Hebrew (introduced in moving from MS Word to Adobe InDesign). The first page-proofs contained 1000+ errors. The authors went back and forth numerous times with the publisher to correct all of these errors.
@@briangault119 very well said - my own book went through countless typographical problems - the truth is that very very few academic publishers can handle Semitic languages well and it is almost impossible to 'fix' things that are changed in the conversion process :-(
Proofreading is important. I will not mentioned the name but my favorite beginning Greek grammar was published in 1950 and revised in the 1990s. The revision is riddled with so many typos as to require a two page handout to save the students from severe frustration. I wonder how any book makes it through to publicaton by a leading publisher riddled with errors that my seminary professors would have returned for revision.
hebrew was a dead language for over 1000 years, maybe 2000. When was it revived, and why? All the Hebrew people no longer exist. The Eastern European Khazars converted to the religion. How did the language get revived? Because of Israel in 1948?
Just because you subscribe to the ridiculous notion that Jews are not the people of the Tanach this doesn’t mean Jews didn’t maintain knowledge of their language , history, religious practices and traditions. The myth that we’re actually Khazars is used by antisemites to attempt to unsuccessfully delegitimize Jews and deprive us of our identity. Nice try but no cigar.
Because of Israel. Actually the Rabbis wanted Yiddish to be the adopted language of Israel because they though Hebrew should stay as a religious language and if they reintroduced it as an everyday spoken language again, it will start to change slowly. Also Hebrew wasn't ready for 20th century adoption because it lacked many new words when Yiddish already had them.
I just saw this advertised on logos and I was wondering about it. Glad you all are covering it.

Thank you for this. I have been eagerly waiting for this book to come out and I am very excited to read and work through it.
Thanks for the review. I would love more grammar reviews and other book reviews. Great job!
Thank you! Will do!

Sure thing!
That's a very helpful review, thank you so much! What existing intermediate BH grammars, if any, are closest as to content and depth as this one?
What Hebrew lexicon do you recommend?
