Introductory Biblical Hebrew (U)

This page contains materials developed for a  a two-semester Introductory Biblical Hebrew course was designed for graduate students at the University of Chicago Divinity School. At the bottom of this page, I have also included links to handouts and worksheets I’ve developed for teaching biblical Hebrew.

2-Semester Introductory Biblical Hebrew I & II 

Syllabus: Introductory Biblical Hebrew I                

Syllabus: Introductory Biblical Hebrew II

The class was originally designed for a mixture of M.Div, M.A., and Ph.D. students at the University of Chicago Divinity School. Traditionally, the textbook used for this course was Lambdin’s Introduction to Biblical Hebrew. (If I were to teach this course again, I would use JoAnn Hackett’s A Basic Introduction to Biblical Hebrew instead.) The assignments listed in the syllabus were assignments I created and were a mixture of exercises I developed and those in Lambdin’s book.

 

Handouts & Resources for Teaching Biblical Hebrew

I created a number of handouts for this class that  synthesized information, presented it in different formats, and, at times, drew from other textbooks with clearer explanations of topics.
