DESCRIPTION:

This course is a continuation of LG502A and will focus on the remainder of Hebrew grammar with readings from the Hebrew Bible and from The Authorized Daily Prayerbook. Students will acquire facility in using BHS and other reference tools.

Anyone involved in explicating a life-style and thought system that is ancient is best equipped by understanding the ancient media; one of them is Hebrew.

The class time will involve a presentation/explanation of new grammar, reading in Hebrew, address of problems encountered in the homework and unseen translations.
