The First Hebrew Primer is a simple, straightforward guide to Biblical Hebrew . 30 lessons provide enough information and practice to enable you, with the aid of a Hebrew-English dictionary, to understand most biblical texts. The goal of the Primer is to teach students to read and understand Biblical Hebrew as quickly as possible; therefore, the lessons emphasize recognition and translation --- not memorization.

We present vocabulary based upon frequency in the Hebrew Bible and have carefully controlled the number of words introduced. Wherever possible, the most common Hebrew words are taught in the early chapters. By the end of the Primer , you will have learned most words that occur 200 or more times in the Bible . This controlled vocabulary should make the transition to reading biblical text as easy as possible. ( 30 Lessons / 414 Pages )
