Learning Biblical Hebrew

What’s the best way to learn a new language? By approaching it not as a series of facts to memorize but as something alive, with a personality you can get to know and tendencies you can begin to predict.

Designed for long-term retention, Learning Biblical Hebrew focuses on helping students understand how the language works and providing a solid grounding in Hebrew through extensive reading in the biblical text. Written for first-year and second-year Hebrew students, this grammar is laid out to present comprehensive concepts to first-year students and then to aid in review and deeper understanding for second-year students. Though written for Hebrew competency, Learning Biblical Hebrew is well suited for students with different learning styles and objectives.

This two volume bundle also includes the Learning Biblical Hebrew Workbook. This companion workbook provides essential practice with Hebrew for students using Learning Biblical Hebrew. Beginning in chapter four, each chapter of the Learning Biblical Hebrew grammar is accompanied by a selection of Hebrew text in the workbook that has been prepared to match the skill level of the student. The workbook’s strength lies in the translation exercises designed to provide early access to biblical text, a continuous flow of biblical narrative, exposure to Hebrew syntax and idioms, and instant application of vocabulary and grammar.

Resources for professors and supplemental materials for students are available on the Learning Biblical Hebrew companion site.

A printable PDF of all the worksheets from the Learning Biblical Hebrew Workbook has been made available here. It can also be found on the Learning Biblical Hebrew companion site.

Praise for Learning Biblical Hebrew

Before trying this Hebrew grammar, I'd taught Biblical Hebrew from eight different grammars—none of which had won out as the obvious choice for future classes. Kutz and Josberger’s grammar makes up for the main weaknesses of the other grammars like insufficient explanation of new concepts, limited translation exercises, and not getting into the biblical text itself quickly enough. This grammar was clearly written by instructors who had struggled with and sought to remedy these same deficiencies. My students found the approach and tools “user-friendly” and the rigorous methodology helpful for day-to-day accountability. The grammar’s clear explanations free the instructor up to concentrate on helping students apply the information.

—Kenneth Turner, Associate Professor of Old Testament, Toccoa Falls College

Learning Biblical Hebrew helps students sidestep pitfalls by providing clear explanations of perennially perplexing issues. Students are led to predict patterns (e.g. vowel changes or irregular verbs) with minimal memorization. Translation exercises in the workbook complement the grammar, quickly familiarizing students with Hebrew syntax and demonstrating the clear upshot of tackling larger sections of Hebrew narrative early on in the learning process. Having adopted this text in both graduate and undergraduate introductory Biblical Hebrew courses I can gladly attest – Learning Biblical Hebrew is appropriately entitled! I’m very excited to see it reach a wider audience.

  1. Sergio Castrillon
    This bundle is such an excellent Hebrew grammar. I think the order of topics is more than suitable for a consistent Hebrew learning, and the workbook helps to reinforce every chapter. However, formatting is not the best, most of all the Hebrew words, because they are images that are big or small, making the reading difficult.
