Description
A New Grammar of Biblical Hebrew by Frederic C. Putnam is a comprehensive guide to understanding Biblical Hebrew as a language. This discourse-based grammar focuses on teaching students to see the forms and conjugations as part of a coherent linguistic system, rather than just memorizing rules. The book provides 31 lessons that equip learners for reading the biblical text in Hebrew, covering topics such as narrative, poetry, and the Masora. The examples and exercises are taken directly from the biblical text, allowing students to check their work against a relatively literal version of the Bible. A range of additional resources, including vocabulary lists and technical terms, support the learning process. This learner-friendly grammar has been widely adopted by students and teachers alike, who appreciate its clear design and practical approach.
