About the Book

Getting to Grips with Biblical Hebrew provides a simple introduction to biblical Hebrew for beginners. Consisting of thirty lessons, the book focuses on the basic grammar and vocabulary necessary for reading and understanding the biblical text. Exercises are taken directly from the Hebrew Bible, and students gain hands-on experience with the joys and challenges of translation. This textbook is specifically designed to be accessible for students who have never learned a foreign language or whose knowledge of English might be limited. For this reason, proficiency with English grammar is not assumed, and key concepts are explained as they occur. Tables of prefixes and suffixes are also provided to assist students in using a Hebrew dictionary. By providing insight into the process of translating from ancient to modern languages, this resource will enrich a student's ability to interpret the Hebrew Bible in the here and now. Systematic and easy to use, this introduction to biblical Hebrew is perfect for anyone desiring to better understand the Old Testament texts.

Review :
I am delighted to welcome the publication of David Baker's Getting to Grips with Biblical Hebrew which is an excellent basic introduction to the language. Literally tens of thousands of students have benefited from this valuable guide and the launch of an English edition will give thousands more across the world access to it. Graham I. Davies, DD Emeritus Professor of Old Testament Studies, University of Cambridge, UK This book is a winner! A clearly written, affordable Hebrew grammar with straightforward grammatical explanations, exercises, readings of Biblical texts, songs, conversations, and dramatic readings all in one volume. Road-tested in a global context over many years, David Baker's textbook will be invaluable for students and teachers of introductory Hebrew. Rev. Jill Firth, PhD Lecturer in Hebrew and Old Testament, Ridley College, Melbourne, Australia Success in teaching biblical Hebrew is not only a matter of teacher qualification, but it also requires an appropriate textbook. I believe that the present textbook, which has been refined from its original version, is surely user-friendly for classroom setting, both for lecturers and students. Welcome to this Hebrew for beginners to be used worldwide! Yonky Karman, PhD Lecturer in Old Testament, Jakarta Theological Seminary, Indonesia The strength of this introductory grammar lies in its concision, readability, accessibility and teachability. Baker's years of teaching experience come through in his helpful hints, examples, layout, summaries, and teaching strategies. All this creates confidence and encourages the learner to enjoy the process, making successful language learning and biblical interpretation attainable. Crystal L. Melara Hebrew Instructor, University of California, Los Angeles, USA David's book is a rich and rewarding course, by the end of which the student will be able to begin to engage with much of the Hebrew prose of the Old Testament. May this book deepen the church's worship as it enables pastors to go deeper into the riches of his word! Kim Phillips, PhD Affiliated Lecturer of Hebrew, Faculty of Divinity, University of Cambridge, UK Now available in English, students from diverse backgrounds and interests worldwide will surely benefit from this book's gradual approach to learning the ancient language. No doubt, the book will provide a solid foundation for doing exegetical work as well as for more advanced study of the language. Highly recommended for theological students and Bible translators alike. Anwar Tjen, PhD Head of Translation Department, Indonesian Bible Society
