Biblical Hebrew Study Group
Greetings in the name of the Lord
Jesus Christ.
Welcome to the
Biblical Hebrew (Self-Taught) Study Group. For those who want to
learn Biblical Hebrew for the sake of knowledge without college
tuition. "Study
to shew yourselves approved unto God...”
Few
people would relish going back to 1st grade and learning
how to read all over again, but that is exactly what this study guide
is offering you a chance to do: Learning letters, learning the sounds
they make, finding them assembled into words, learning to pronounce
words, letter by letter, having vocabulary assignments and taking
quizzes.
It
sounds dreadful, and when you did all that the first time, your mind
was not jam packed with stuff like... life. This effort can
completely revamp how you think about life. It will be much harder
than it was when you were six. Your brain is jammed up with cobwebs,
there are corners of your brain that you have not used since 3rd
grade. You will love going back there in your mind, clearing out
cobwebs, and learning the language wherein God first spoke to man,
Biblical Hebrew.
You need to do this. It will change your thinking,
and it will enhance your Bible reading. In just one year you could be
reading at a third grade level!
As
a teenager I was told that Psalm 119 was a Hebrew acrostic with
groups of 8 verses all starting with the 22 letters of the Hebrew
alphbet. My Oxford press Scofield Bible even went to the great care
of printing the Hebrew letters before each octet. I was intrigued
enough then to know that someday I would learn all those queer shapes
with strange names and check this hypothesis out with an actual
Hebrew Bible. I first learned the Hebrew alphbet by reading my King
James Bible, and twice a year in Psalm 119, I paused to write out the
Hebrew Alphbet.
Three
reasons I have considered for learning to read my Hebrew Bible are 1)
I love the Lord my God and he first spoke to humanity in Hebrew. 2)
I love the revelation of the Lord my God and 39 books of His written
revelation were recorded in Hebrew, and 3) I love to learn new things
believing that when you stop learning your brain starts aging and God
commands us to Study to shew yourself approved unto a God a workman
that needeth not be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
Given those three, just for starters, one should walk into this
learning experience with the anticipation that more concrete reasons
will soon develop.
This

enjoyable.
