Readings in Biblical Hebrew: An Intermediate Textbook (Yale Language)

Rating:
Summary: The Best Book of Its Kind
Review: I teach classical Hebrew, in a four-semester program at the undergraduate level. So, I'm always looking for excellent teaching materials to help my students read and comprehend the beautiful and barbaric language of the ancient Biblical texts. There are plenty of introductory grammars, many of them very good. But there are not many textbooks available to help the second year reader.

It is this unreached audience that Ben Zvi,Hancock and Beinert target so well in this book. I'll hazard the guess that even if there were half a dozen or more such texts readily available, this one would still surpass them all in usefulness to the student.

As the sages and rabbis are wont to say, "baruch hashem."
