"Do you find teaching or learning Hebrew to be difficult? This book is what you've been looking for. There are many good reasons to study the Bible and thus to learn biblical Hebrew. It is the language in which many of the sacred writings of Judaism are composed, including the Bible and the Mishnah, as well as the Hebrew Siddur (prayerbook). It is the language in which about three quarters of the Christian Bible are written. For those who are neither Jewish nor Christian, the Bible comprises one of the largest and most important bodies of extant literature from an critical era of human history. Biblical Hebrew is an important contributor to the basis of the modern Hebrew language now spoken in the state of Israel. The Bible contains stories that are interesting as literature, quite apart from their spiritual or theological value to certain groups of “believers.” In fact, the stories you will soon be reading about Jonah, about the search for a wife for Isaac, and then about the plagues in Egypt are masterpieces of drama, describing a wide range of human emotion and experience. So whether the Bible is a book of faith for you, or simply the repository of great literature, the study of the Hebrew language is essential to your understanding and enjoyment of it."
