Hebrew 3 - BHE614

Introduction to the Course

  • In this course you will be reading rapidly through the book of Genesis. The course concentrates on vocabulary, grammar and general reading fluency. An introduction to the esoteric field of Old Testament text criticism will be included, however due to curricular issues, references to the Septuagint will be kept to a minimum. On the other hand, Samaritan Pentateuch and Qumran materials will be introduced. The seminarian will also be taught how to write an exegetical paper on Hebrew - Narrative - Old Testament passages.
