Overview of the Grammar Section of Hebrew for Christians
This section is intended to help you become familiar with the rudiments of
Biblical Hebrew so that you can:
Familiarize yourself with Hebrew concepts and the Hebraic mindset
that underlies the Scriptures (including the Brit Chadashah, or New
Testament).

Use Hebrew language tools in your study of the Bible. 2.
Become better acquainted with Jewish heritage and your
inheritance as one "grafted in" to the Root (Messiah) of Israel
(Romans 9-11).
3.
Remove the linguistic veil that separates your English translations
from the original Scriptures (including plays on words, word origins,
the use of acrostics, Jewish idioms, and word pictures).
4.
Deepen your appreciation and love for Israel and your shared
destiny with God's original covenant people.

If you are new to the study of Biblical Hebrew, you should first work through the "mechanics"
of the language: the alphabet, the vowel marks, and the syllables (Units 1 through 3). After
mastering this foundational material, you will be ready to read and pronounce Hebrew words!
(Unit 4)
After learning the mechanics of the language, you can then directly begin studying Hebrew
grammar (dikduk) and begin exploring the rich spiritual vocabulary of Biblical Hebrew (Units
5-10). You will also be equipped to perform rudimentary word studies, to recite the most
common Hebrew blessings and prayers, and to take delight in meditating on aspects of the
Scripture that might have eluded you had you not begun to dig deeper into the language.
May the Lord God of Israel, the Father of the blessed Mashiach (Messiah) Jesus, bless you as
you seek to "study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not be
ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of Truth" (2 Tim. 2:15).
