Course Description
This course will complete Lambdin’s grammar as well as engage in active reading, analysis and translation of selected narrative passages from the books of Genesis, Exodus, Judges and Samuel. Particular attention will be given to the main aspects of the Hebrew syntax. There will be one mid-term exam based on Lambdin’s grammar. The final exam will consist of translation of some studied passages without the use of a dictionary.
