Hebrew Syntax an Outline

Rating:
Summary: A good, inexpensive reference work
Review: Reference work and inexpensive are seldom found together when speaking of quality materials on Biblical Hebrew, but Williams' work is well worthy of such a title. This short paperback covers the syntax of nouns, verbs, particles and clauses, discussing the basic syntactical functions of each. The examples, though sometimes unclear, are sufficient, and specific Scripture passages can be referenced with the index provided in the back. Perhaps of greatest practical value in this work is the index of particles and prepositions located on the last page. It is difficult to find a good discussion of particles and prepositions outside of major reference grammars, so this is a welcome addition.

Summary: Delightful!
Review: This gem is easy on the wallet, unintimidating and useful. After you've struggled through some Hebrew Bible passages and consulted this and other reference grammars, read this one cover-to-cover and then you'll have an easier time reading the others.

Summary: a good quick reference
Review: This is just an outline and provides succinct explinations of various aspekts of Hebrew syntax. It's a great quick reference and a nice supplement to Waltke O'Connor, which you can browse if you want to do more in-depth study. Plus W/O is HUGE and HEAVY and NOT FUN to carry around all the time. Williams is only 122 pages, so it's much more portable!! It's a great resource! It's not meant to be a W/O, so it shouldn't be compared to it that way. It's almost a "must have."
