“Reading the Hebrew Bible” courses are designed to provide a practical use of the knowledge acquired during the journey of learning Biblical Hebrew. These courses are text based courses, which is an actual reading of the Hebrew Bible in Hebrew in small groups, discussing the text, context, grammatical issues and much more.
As with every lesson in “Reading the Hebrew Bible” courses, all of the verses are pre-recorded, so you may listen to them (and read along, the speed is adjustable – note the small gear at the bottom left of the video) enabling you may come prepared to class and to make the most out of it.
