Synopsis

This new and fully revised edition of A Biblical Hebrew Reference Grammar serves as a user-friendly and up-to-date source of information on the morphology, syntax, semantics and pragmatics of Biblical Hebrew verbs, nouns and other word classes (prepositions, conjunctions, adverbs, modal words, negatives, focus particles, discourse markers, interrogatives and interjections).

Building upon the initial publication by incorporating up-to-date developments in the study of the Biblical Hebrew, the grammar is both easily accessible and a fascinating examination of the language. It will be invaluable both for exegetes and translators who have completed an introductory or intermediate course in Biblical Hebrew, and also for more advanced scholars seeking to take advantage of traditional and recent descriptions of the language that go beyond the basic morphology of Biblical Hebrew.
