- Biblical Hebrew Language 2A (HEBR0019)
Intermediate Biblical Hebrew is a continuation of Introduction to Biblical Hebrew. We cover more advanced points of biblical Hebrew syntax, including the various uses of the definite article and the construct chain, the functions of the verbal forms, and the structure of different types of clauses. Students put this knowledge to use by translating biblical texts from Hebrew to English and from English to Hebrew with a focus on linguistic analysis. This practice finely hones students鈥� knowledge of Hebrew grammar, expands their vocabulary, and provides comprehensive experience in the close reading and translation of a wide range of biblical texts. Some of the biblical texts likely to be studied include:
- Genesis 1 (creation story)
- Exodus 20 (Ten Commandments)
- Exodus 32 (the golden calf)
- Joshua 6 (the walls of Jericho)
- Judges 4 (Deborah and Jael)
- Ezekiel 37 (the vision of the dry bones)
