Description
A practical guide to Hebrew Bible translation, The First Hebrew Reader reviews and enhances students' knowledge of grammar through direct contact with biblical text. The Reader is the perfect transitional tool for anyone moving from grammar study to biblical translation. By including passages from all biblical genres, the textbook helps students achieve competency in a broad range of biblical styles. Eighteen selections range from easy historical narratives to more difficult poetic and philisophical passages. Each section includes the following features: * Hebrew text * Interlinear translations * Vocabulary lists * Verb analysis charts * Grammatical notes As students progress through the Reader, they will gain the skills and confidence they need to independently translate passages from the Hebrew Bible.
