Description

One of the obstacles to success in learning biblical Hebrew is understanding the various ways weak verbs inflect. Weak Verb Morphology by Adam J. Howell addresses the features and characteristics of the various weak verb patterns. With plenty of examples and thoughtful discussion, Howell's book helps to equip students to identify weak verbs and translate the biblical text with ease.

Advancing Biblical Hebrew, edited by Miles V. Van Pelt, is an accessible book series intended for students wanting to press deeper in their Hebrew language acquisition. Each volume provides focused instruction in a specific linguistic category in order to better understand, translate, and interpret the Hebrew Bible. Individual volumes contain an introduction to the topic, a brief history of the topic, detailed descriptions of the topic with numerous examples, and suggested resources for further study.
