No exams – for interest.

Students should study the Hebrew alphabet and vocalisation system in advance of the course, since this will be assumed. This one-week intensive course aims to introduce the basics of the Biblical Hebrew language, enabling the student to begin to read more straightforward prose texts from the Old Testament.

4 hours daily with breaks.

Fee: £380

BH412 Biblical Hebrew: Intermediate

No exams – for interest.
Prior Anselm Brumwell OSB

We will build on the first year’s work by studying the so-called ‘weak’ and ‘defective’ verb forms. A basic knowledge of the regular verb in all of the binyamin in both tenses and of object and possessive suffixes will be assumed, but will be revised as they arise.

We will aim to read prose texts and see the language in action alongside the grammatical theory.

Students should download Bill Barrick’s grammar and workbook, which will form the basis of our language study. Texts for reading will be provided.

We will meet for four hours each day (9-10:30; 11-12:30; 2-3).

4 hours daily with breaks.

Fee: £380
