LANG 510
Introduction to Old Testament Hebrew I
Course Description
Welcome to this course on Biblical Hebrew. I’m thrilled that you’ve decided to take up the
challenge. Hebrew is a rich and rewarding language to study (and with it, you will gain
access to around 78% of the Bible). It will require hard work and effort, but the challenge
is worth it. Language study can be intimidating but, with appropriate time invested, it is
eminently doable. Many have done it before you and many will do it after you. I hope you
feel supported and encouraged along the way. Don’t be afraid to make mistakes. Be
disciplined in your study habits; cramming seldom works in language study. Keep on top of
your assignments and you will get the most out of this course.
This course is part one of a two-part study of biblical Hebrew. We’ll work through
approximately half of Pratico and Van Pelt’s Basics of Biblical Hebrew, laying the
foundations for part two next term.
