A Grammar for Biblical Hebrew

Yery good for new students, as well as one how wants to review. You can get iVocab Cd for the Vocabs and also a review handbook answers for the exercises

Very Good Grammar Book

I am currently in a Biblical Hebrew class where we are using this grammer. I have found it to be a very good textbook. It forces you to use the BDB Lexicon, and your Hebrew bible, which are the main reasons to take Biblical Hebrew in the first place. It goes at a good pace, and a good order. The exercises, although tedious, are extremly helpful, and aid to Hebrew knowledge. I have heard of people using other Hebrew grammar books, and they do not understand the language as well as those of us using this book. I highly recommend this book. It would be hard to understand this individually, but it is difficult to learn any language like that.

A REVIES OF A GRAMMAR FOR BIBLICAL HEBREW BY SEOW

I have found this book to be the most helpful of any Hebrew grammar that I have so rar purchased. Seow's introduction and continued use of morphology have opened a new world to me in the study and translation of ancient Hebrew texts.

plenty of "Aha!" moments

Having studied Hebrew by translating Torah, I have found the organization of this book to be immensely helpful. Reading through it, I frequently find myself thinking "Aha! That's why it was like that!" or "Oh, that's why I had a hard time finding that form in the BDB." After hearing plenty of experts tell me how logical Hebrew is, it's nice to actually see the logic of it clearly laid out. It's also great to have the purpose of the trope explained without having to learn to sing it myself.

Very good, very thorough teaching grammar of Hebrew

Prof. Seow's grammar is methodical and well laid out, and clearly informed by a love and deep appreciation for the language of the Old Testament. Another feature of this grammar I liked was the extensive use of verbatim quotations from each book of the Old Testament as part of the grammatical exercises. Highly recommended.
