Biblical Hebrew Year 1 (GCSE Prep)

Description

Biblical Hebrew Year 1 Live Class (GCSE Prep)

This course will provide an introduction to the principles of Hebrew grammar and Hebrew vocabulary. This will enable students to use original language resources effectively (lexicons, theological dictionaries, technical commentaries), and allow them to use original languages in their devotional scripture. It will also lay the foundation for intermediate level Hebrew exegesis courses, and discussions of syntax and more complex grammar.

This live course will follow the GCSE Biblical Hebrew exam curriculum for Edexcel.

Required Materials:

Please note that the third edition is what is current. Students may be inclined to borrow from pastor friends, but unless that pastor’s Hebrew was quite recent, it’ll be the wrong edition, and there are just enough differences that it will eventually be problematic.

• Basics of Biblical Hebrew Grammar: Third Edition (Zondervan Language Basics Series) 

• Basics of Biblical Hebrew Workbook: Third Edition (Zondervan Language Basics Series)

These required materials will also be used in biblical Hebrew Year 2 planned for 2026-27.

Day & Time: Thursday 2:30-4:00 PM GMT (Two 40-minute sessions with a short break in the middle.)

Location: Zoom Meeting

Tutor: Ashley Hibbard

The Biblical Hebrew Year 1 course will provide an introduction to basic principles of Hebrew grammar and Hebrew vocabulary. This should allow students to use original language resources effectively (lexicons, theological dictionaries, technical commentaries). It will also lay the foundation for intermediate level Hebrew exegesis courses, and discussions of syntax and more complex grammar. Students completing this course will have memorized all words occurring in the Hebrew bible 100 times or more, plus several other significant terms; be able to parse Hebrew verbs; and provide basic translations of select passages.

This class will provide the student with the equivalent of first year Hebrew on a bible college or seminary level. we will follow the GCSE Biblical Hebrew guidance to assist students in preparing for UK Exams. This course is eligible for 1 Foreign Language credit for those following USA Qualifications (transcript & diploma)

Please note: While modern Hebrew was derived from biblical Hebrew, there are some substantial differences, not the least of which are the vocabulary differences between the ancient and modern worlds. Students taking this class will not be prepared to communicate in modern Hebrew.

Your student will love this class!
