A Grammar Of The Hebrew Language Of The Old Testament

Excerpt from A Grammar of the Hebrew Language of the Old Testament Every University in Protestant Germany, in all of which Theology is taught (and there are sixteen such) has at least one Professor of Oriental literature. The mode in which he communicates his instruction is by lecture, in which the stu dent is a mere auditor. There are two academical sessions in a year, and he lectures five or six times a week on any book Of the old Testament he pleases; accordingly, the Psalms, or Isaiah, form as much as can be conveniently delivered in.

Excerpt: ...and is frequently so found in certain, especially more ancient, passages, as Num. 23, 8.--2) The suffix of the fern. sg. is derived from-hd, concerning which cf. . 449, but always toneless, ii, tT eha with a sharp e before the gutt.; instead of the concurrence fi aha however, Pi dh is used always without exception, and even sometimes for that which dh is a shortening of that original and general aha.--3) In the pi. msc. and fern., tefi and fir are indeed the basis; but as the gutt. n easily becomes vocalic, they become first toneless, in such a manner that the affix-vowel accommodates itself to the gutt., as Cj!i, but this is then almost regularly contracted into Q--, fern.

It is to be observed, however, that the Poeis have often retained the more original form 'V3 for on account of its sweeter cadence; only in Ex. 15, 5 V2 after u, for md, in the word WDS? 3 pi. imperf.

Meeting the need for a textbook for classroom use after first year Hebrew grammar, Waltke and O'Connor integrate the results of modern linguistic study of Hebrew and years of experience teaching the subject in this book. In addition to functioning as a teaching grammar, this work will also be widely used for reference and self-guided instruction in Hebrew beyond the first formal year. Extensive discussion and explanation of grammatical points help to sort out points blurred in introductory books. More than 3,500 Biblical Hebrew examples illustrate the points of grammar under discussion. Four indexes (Scripture, Authorities cited, Hebrew words, and Topics) provide ready access to the vast array of information found in the 40 chapters. Destined to become a classic work, this long-awaited book fills a major gap among modern publications on Biblical Hebrew.

Excerpt from Syntax of the Hebrew Language of the Old Testament Ore than one attempt has already been made to lay before the English reader the earlier labours of Ewald in the field of Hebrew Grammar. A complete translation, by Nicholson, of an early edition, was published at London in 1836; but so many changes were made in subsequent editions of the original, both as regards arrangement and extent, that it is long since out of date. A translation of the third edition of Ewald's Introductory Hebrew Grammar was subsequently, made by J. F. Smith, and published at London in 1870 but, though the arrangement of the work is substantially the same as is found in the later editions of the larger grammar, the whole is much too brief to prove satisfactory.
