Biblical Hebrew

Biblical Hebrew is a continuing education course designed to introduce the basic principles of Hebrew grammar and syntax.  The course seeks to avoid unnecessarily complicating the learning process with massive amounts of vocabulary or technical explanation of grammar. The ultimate purpose behind mastering the basic grammatical/syntactical structure is to read, study, interpret, teach, and preach the Old Testament Scriptures with greater accuracy and authority.
