Purchase options and add-ons

A Graded Reader of Biblical Hebrew is the ideal next-step resource for the student who has completed a year of elementary Hebrew, or it can be used as a refresher for the pastor or scholar whose language skills have diminished due to lack of use. Immersion in the language is the best way to reinforce what you have already learned and to gain greater proficiency in using the language for exegesis and preaching. A Graded Reader of Biblical Hebrew is a structured introduction to the reading of biblical Hebrew texts. Through these readings, you will be able to review basic Hebrew grammar, become familiar with issues of intermediate grammar, and gain confidence in handling the Hebrew text. The readings chosen for inclusion, which are arranged generally in order of increasing difficulty, span the whole of the Old Testament and represent some of the most important Old Testament texts from the standpoint of biblical history, theology, and exegesis. The many notes that accompany the text include information on grammar, exegetically significant constructions, vocabulary words, idioms, bibliographic information, and more. Parsing exercises are included with each reading, and there is room for you to write your own English translation.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Profoundly Valuable
    Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2012
    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    For years I have struggled to start working with the Hebrew Old Testament.
    Even with a reader's dictionary and an inter-linear I come across word morphology
    that seems anomalous and I get stuck.
    With the Graded Reader, I have Profs. Van Pelt and Pratico standing by right
    there to tell me "Yeah that word does seem strange, but the reason
    there is a qamets there instead of a patach is.......
    And then I keep reading! I end up pondering the text of the Bible and
    not pondering about why a qamets is there.

    Slowing, day by day I am learning inductively the things that
    staring at a paradigm charts would take years.

    The Hebrew font in this volume is large, and there are no cantilation marks
    resulting in a blessedly easy to read page.
    (Just to be clear, the Hebrew vowel points are there, the cantilation marks are not)

    ... a wonderful work...

    This is a super reader. I am only beginning to understand Hebrew, and the grammatical explanations and clear, large text make reading my graded reader a pleasure every time. I particularly like notes on the change in morphology reflective in the "dagesh forte" present in so many words. This is an excellent complementary tool to the Basics of Biblical Hebrew grammar book I also have.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Good but not quite what I expected
    Reviewed in the United States on February 13, 2007
    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    I like the idea behind this book, but I had a bit different expectations -- probably a misunderstanding on my part. I was expecting that this would be structured around broader syntactical rules and principles (obviously not as detailed as Arnold/Choi and certainly not Waltke/O'Connor), followed by reading examples to illustrate the principles. Instead the structure of the book is quite the opposite -- it is a series of reading passages, each of which is followed by explanation or discussion of each word (form, parsing, etc.) in passage. It is up to the reader to connect all the different instances and passages that illustrate this or that syntactical rule. With this understanding of the book, its structure and objective, I would say it's well done.

    Although it's not what I initially thought it would be, I would still recommend it as a useful resource. The authors selected interesting passages from all over the OT and the explanation behind each passage is certainly helpful. The back of the book also includes an answer key to the parsing exercises. See the following list of passages covered in this book:

    Law
    1. Genesis 1:1-5 In the beginning
    2. Genesis 2:1-3 The seventh day
    3. Genesis 26:1-6 God's promises to Isaac
    4. Genesis 35:9-15 God's promises to Jacob
    5. Genesis 43:1-8 Jacob sends Benjamin to Egypt
    6. Exodus 3:1-12 The burning bush
    7. Exodus 6:1-8 I am the Lord
    8. Exodus 34:1-6 The Lord proclaims His Name
    9. Leviticus 19:1-4 The demand for holiness
    10. Numbers 6:22-26 Aaron's blessing
    11. Deuteronomy 6:1-15 The Shema
    12. Deuteronomy 11:18-23 Teach these words to your children
    13. Deuteronomy 31:1-8 Be strong and courageous

    Prophets
    14. Joshua 24:14-18 Joshua's challenge to serve the Lord
    15. Judges 3:7-11 The Lord delivers Israel with Othniel
    16. Judges 10:10-15 Cry to the Gods whom you have chosen
    17. 1 Samuel 15:10-24 To obey is better than sacrifice
    18. 2 Samuel 7:1-9 David's desire to build the Temple
    19. 1 Kings 8:22-26 Solomon's prayer
    20. 2 Kings 17:34-40 You shall fear the Lord
    21. Isaiah 43:1-6 You are precious in my eyes
    22. Jeremiah 31:31-34 A new covenant
    23. Ezekiel 37:1-6 The valley of dry bones
    24. Joel 3:1-5 (2:28-32) I will pour out my Sprirt

    This is a great tool for continued study by engaging with the Hebrew text. The grammatical commentary that is included with each text provides helpful information as to why certain words are structured the way they are in a passage, as well as providing some help for figures of speech in the Hebrew.

    This book goes with the other material produced by the authors. It is much, much more than a simple set of texts. There are vocabulary lists parsing exercises and bits of grammatical teaching. Most of us who learn Classical Hebrew do so in order to understand the Old Testament better. This excellent book lets its users read parts of the Bible from early on in learning the language.

    This book is for people who have a basic understanding of the biblical Hebrew language. However, it is user friendly, asks the right questions and, importantly, includes the answers and some notes explaining them.

    I recommend this to anyone wanting to move on to the second or third step in Biblical Hebrew.
