Calendar Description / Prerequisite / Co-Requisite

Introduces students to the basic vocabulary, grammar, and syntax of Biblical Hebrew as represented in the Bible and in ancient Hebrew inscriptions. Students are introduced to the Hebrew writing system, basic vocabulary, grammar, and syntax. The focus of the grammar is on the Hebrew noun and verb, their various forms and uses. In this introductory course an attempt will be made to introduce students to the reading of biblical Hebrew through small selected units of text. As students' skills improve, the ability to read original documents increases; and, class by class, students will read longer and more sophisticated examples of ancient Hebrew prose. Course credit exclusions: AP/HEB 1030 3.00, AP/HEB 1040 3.00.
