3.0 out of 5 stars
Outdated, but moderately useful.,

This review is from: 201 Hebrew Verbs Fully Conjugated in All the Tenses, Alphabetically Arranged. (201 verbs series) (Paperback)
This book is more suited for Biblical Hebrew, as the copyright date is 1970. It has recently been superceded by 501 Hebrew verbs. However, it's still fully functional, listing the 3 persons verb tables in their 6 available tenses, as well as the 7 patterns of Hebrew verb root changes. Neither the 3 persons singular or plural are labled with subject headings, and it assumes previous user experience, unlike the 501. This will be confusing for the beginner (including me!), but they seem to be listed orderly. In the beginning is a detailed introduction to the Hebrew verb system given by the author. The verb indexes in the back are helpful as well as exhaustive.
The previous reviewer suggests buying the 501, but I caution this. It is crammed full of info, and is a very hefty book at over 900 pages, this being held together by a mere softcover. That's why I bought the 201. It has a softcover too, but only 425 pages. So each side has their advantages and disadvantages!

This review is from: 201 Hebrew Verbs Fully Conjugated in All the Tenses, Alphabetically Arranged. (201 verbs series) (Paperback)
This was a most useful reference when I began my study of Modern Hebrew, and I still find it useful as I focus on Biblical Hebrew. The book's been supplanted by a larger volume by another author containing 700 verbs, but this one is easier to understand and to use if one just wants a basic overview of verb conjugations and meanings.
One feature alone makes the book worth having for me: it's the only grammar book I've seen that attempts to integrate YHWH into the Hebrew verb system, and the only book I know of that actually does a credible job of vowelizing the Name (as consistent with the grammatical and accentual rules of the Masoretic Text). Even the famous lexicons I have don't do as well. I have to wonder how the author did it.
