Designed to engage the Hebrew text and reinforce patterns and principles of grammar and syntax learned in beginning Hebrew, A Workbook for Intermediate Hebrew is the first of its kind. Both instructors and intermediate students will appreciate its step-by-step, interactive approach to the books of Jonah and Ruth.

Features include:

• Well-crafted questions related to morphology and syntax. All answers are provided in a helpful “Teacher’s Guide” section.
• In-text and footnote references allow this text to be used in conjunction with most beginning Hebrew grammars.
• Technical notes on problematic and/or rare forms and constructions.
• Interpretive notes remind the student that the overall goal of analysis is interpretation.
• A useful parsing guide (presented in eleven charts) that enables students to parse most verbal forms.
• Glossaries for both Jonah and Ruth are keyed to lexicons so students can easily access a more thorough discussion of any given word.
• Numerous footnote references to advanced grammars, standard lexicons, critical commentaries, and various Bible translations.
