Biblical Hebrew Basics
Language serves Scripture. Begin with the words, develop understanding and return to the biblical text.
Your first lesson is ready. See the Hebrew letters, hear their names and sounds, and practice reading from right to left.
Begin or refresh your reading with 22 letters, five final forms, letter-and-vowel combinations, and three rounds of practice. Listen, repeat, recognize, and return to the sounds you want to strengthen.
