Learning Biblical Hebrew can be extremely difficult. Here at last is a book designed to work in conjunction with the many Hebrew Grammars available in order to break this complex language down into bite-size chunks for revision and consolidation of key aspects of grammar, as well as vocabulary.
A.A. Macintosh and C.L. Engle combine insights from teaching Hebrew in both the United States and Europe, and between them bring some fifty years of experience of teaching Hebrew to undergraduate students to this clearly structured book.
There are many students and teachers of the Old Testament/Hebrew Bible who should welcome this Primer by Macintosh and Engle. It summarizes the basic features of Biblical Hebrew grammar in convenient form, adding simple explanations, occasional mnemonics, and sidelights that will connect with information that the user already possesses (e.g., Hebrew [or sometimes Arabic] names; well-known terms in modern Hebrew). This compact presentation will prove ideal as a DIY refresher course for all those whose grasp of the basics needs strengthening.
