Best Book for Learning Hebrew | Learning Biblical Hebrew by Kutz and Josberger 

Wonderful!! Thanks for watching too!

is there an audio file that comes with the book? i would like to hear the words that i read.

Wow! Thanks for the encouragement!

So cool!! Yes it’s definitely a full and excellent grammar.

Thanks for watching Mike! Hebrew is definitely a bit of a different animal than Greek!

@@bitesizeseminary Funny, may also depend on the individual. I have so far liked Hebrew more. The language seems very devotional. I also find, when learning languages, the weight of grammar makes it easy to forget once you are finished with the class. would like more classes to focus on fluency. many people forget "paradigms" etc.

​@@MB-gd6be Agreed, definitely depends on the person! Reading through Jonah for the first time in Hebrew was really transformative for me on a personal level. Great suggestion too! Thanks!

Omg I've always heard Greek is way harder than Hebrew

if you think Hebrew is difficult, try learning English!

You’re definitely right. Thankfully there’s some good free resources out there too! Thanks for watching!

Nice!! Hope you enjoy it 😊 I’m not super familiar with Schwandt’s book. I’ve skimmed it a bit but I don’t have a copy of it. It seems heavier on morphology, which is helpful(!), but for me that approach is a little taxing and laborious. My favorite Greek grammar is Rodney Decker’s Reading Koine Greek. I think this is fairly comparable to K/J’s Learning Biblical Hebrew. It has really good explanations for things like verbal aspect and the middle voice. I really like his approach to morphology as learning formulas not just wrote memory of whole paradigms. It simplifies the memory work a bit. This is the Greek grammar I teach out of. I’m hoping to make a video about it soon too. 😀

@@bitesizeseminary I liked your recommendation on Decker enough to order a copy! I also have a copy of Intermediate Greek Grammar by Mathewson and Emig coming to use after I finish Mounce. Have you an opinion on Vine's Greek Grammar?

@@dusttalking6871 Nice! Hopefully you like Decker! I actually just made a video on it, like 2 days ago. 😄 I really, really like Mathewson and Emig's book too. My one gripe is the chapter on noun/adj cases. I find it's not super clear for a student. But other than that really solid book. Unfortunately, I don't know about Vine's Greek Grammar. I tried to start learning Greek out of it on my own a long time ago. But never really got past the alphabet. I just haven't returned to it since actually learning Greek. 😂

Glad you were able to find it! :)

@@bitesizeseminary Thanks, me too! It was weird how Amazon didn’t have it one minute, and then had it all of a sudden! I ordered the workbook too!

I just ordered it on amazon

!תודה Thanks!

Awesome! May the Lord bless you in your studies! :)

Yes, really good book! I haven’t gone through the whole thing. I used it as a supplement to the grammar I learned out of (Seow). Really good charts and helpful explanations! They’re explanation of the waw consecutive was super helpful! I think Pratico and Van Pelt is a little more concise than Kutz and Josberger. K/J seem like they explain how everything works and originated whereas P/VP more so just state what it is with brief explanation. Thanks for watching!!

You present very well and seem like a super nice gentleman. I’m definitely picking up K/J and the workbook. Already ordered. I’m using Hebrewpod101, Mondly, and two textbooks written in 1946/1966, as well as Piece of Hebrew on RU-vid for modern. Read/write/speak fluency is the goal.

Check out Aleph with Beth on RU-vid too. They teach Biblical Hebrew with a communicative/talking method. Really good videos! Thanks too!

Unfortunately, Quizlet didn’t have Pratico & Van Pelt but I have ordered Kurtz & Josberger. You’re an awesome resource, brother, thank you for your channel. Lord bless

@@dusttalking6871 That's too bad! You may also try the "Bible Vocab" app on iOS. They have Pratico and Van Pelt's vocabulary. I haven't personally used the app, but one of my students recommended it. It looks good. Thanks so much for the encouragement!!!

Hi! Here's a couple videos I've made for some more tools. I'm hoping to have more coming soon too! Thanks for watching! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-M9so8iAB75Q.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-oTeKxQ92qfE.html

yes, screw the authors and publishers out of their profits! Don't get me wrong, knowledge should be free, but, seriously bro, don't be cheap. besides, there are no banks in Heaven, spend the money while you can!!!!

@@russianvideovlogguy@ atariwarrior2847 I want to know who you are referring to, I tried to purchase online and the link did not allow me anything, so I asked if there is a PDF with the book. In case you are referring to me. I respectfully suggest you think and get more information straight before you call someone cheap, for your knowledge, in case you have some, I have spent more than 100.00 dollars on books, that amount is only a figure, my house is compared to the library of Alexandria, by my friends who visit me, I got hundreds of books, and not precisely pdfs, do not get it wrong, think before you post your comments or before calling someone cheap, think, give it a try sometime, believe me it pays. Have a wonderful evening.

There are a lot of free resources to learn English online. @@voiceintheopen345

You can buy it from the publisher Lexham Press. Here’s a link: lexhampress.com/learning-biblical-hebrew Or Amazon has it too. :)

Great question! Torah is the Hebrew word for "law" or "instruction." It's also used as a term for Scripture or more specifically the first five books of the Old Testament.

@@bitesizeseminarywhich Hebrew should I learn if I want to read the Torah

@@zinzhao8231 Biblical hebrew

Yes, Biblical Hebrew is what you want to learn. Check out the book I mention in this video or any grammar on Biblical Hebrew will do. Check out the Aleph with Beth channel on RU-vid for free videos too. They're really good!

​@@bitesizeseminaryits good to try and understand Aramaic to,as alot of it is in scripture as well.

😂😂

It is your opinion,so don't discourage him or others, because you don't think so,besides biblical hebrew is not useless if you trying to understand Bible better or another sources written in the ancient hebrew, because modern hebrew has lost a few grammatical devices,that are not used in modern hebrew and in transcribing Bible into modern hebrew your comprehension of it will be a little bit disproportional in terms of meaning of particular grammatical syntax in certain words and phrases in text itself and so on.

@@Ғарыштық You're right' if you want to understand the bible you need to learn the biblical Hebrew. All I said is that if you master modern Hebrew, the biblical way pf expression ("biblical Hebrew") will be very easy for you to understand. Every Israeli child understands the bible language after a very short time of learning, all because he is a native Hebrew speaker

@@ashershaham Yes of course, but for me personally I am not interested in modern hebrew and reasons are simply subjective for instance:I don't like phonetics of modern hebrew,because they are not very variable in sense of sound abilities,which biblical hebrew has and other is that I want strictly to understand the Bible and not to speak with jews in Israel or to know the language simply to read a book or to go to Israel and be able to read signes there.I am more interested in Biblical comprehansion and maybe writing for myself in biblical hebrew just for fun purposes.

@@Ғарыштық Modern and biblical Hebrew sound exactly the same. It depends on your personal preference and the accent you choose. Like American or British English, very similar but a bit different. However, if you study modern Hebrew, the Bible becomes very easy

@@ashershaham I don't agree,that they sound the same,because modern hebrew doesn't have sounds like[θˌβˌħˌqˌɬˌɣˌʔˌð and so on]I know that the Biblical hebrew had and has many variants,but this is known to be the standard usually and most commonly met variant of biblical hebrew.The currant version of hebrew is based upon Yidish pronouciation used by jews living in Europe and other countries beside the Mizrahi jews.
