The Learning Biblical Hebrew Workbook is an essential companion for students using Learning Biblical Hebrew: Reading for Comprehension.
The workbook includes guided readings tailored to the growing knowledge of the student using the introductory grammar. After the opening chapters containing grammar exercises to reinforce basic concepts, students begin reading actual Hebrew text based on the Joseph story from Genesis 37:50. The text has been abridged and modified to present students with a text that they can read with minimal help. The readings are accompanied by three types of annotations: the Hebrew root or lexical form, an English gloss, or grammatical and textual explanations. The notes are provided to facilitate reading comprehension by identifying unfamiliar words and concepts.
As familiarity with vocabulary and grammar increases, the readings are modified less and less until students are essentially reading the standard Hebrew text used in most Hebrew Bibles today.
The continuous practice of reading Biblical Hebrew text is an essential part of truly understanding and experiencing what you read. The Learning Biblical Hebrew Workbook provides that essential reading practice that will make your study of Biblical Hebrew come alive.

Learning Biblical Hebrew Workbook: A Graded Reader
The Learning Biblical Hebrew Workbook provides essential practice with Hebrew for students using Learning Biblical Hebrew: Reading for Comprehension. The workbook’s strength lies in the translation exercises designed to provide early access to biblical text, a continuous flow of biblical narrative, exposure to Hebrew syntax and idioms, and instant application of vocabulary and grammar.
Beginning in chapter four, each chapter of the Learning Biblical Hebrew grammar is accompanied by a selection of Hebrew text in the workbook that has been prepared to match the skill level of the student. The Joseph narrative in Genesis 37–50 forms the basis for these translations which feature modified Hebrew text, glosses identifying unfamiliar terms and notes that align the text with the concepts covered in the corresponding chapter of Learning Biblical Hebrew. As familiarity with vocabulary and grammar increases, the readings are modified less and less until students finish reading the Joseph narrative directly from the Hebrew Bible. Once the students begin learning more advanced concepts later in the grammar, the biblical texts of Ruth, Jonah, and Esther are provided with Hebrew terms glossed according to the pace they are covered in the grammar.
