Hinneh – a new and revised 3-volume edition
A Biblical Hebrew Textbook unlike Any Other
Hinneh balances two major demands of an introductory language program: the presentation of the most frequently occurring lexical and grammatical examples, and the sequencing of the material in a way that allows for easier teaching and learning.
· Enables a rigorous yet non-intimidating learning experience for students of different levels.
· Provides the skills and tools necessary to allow students to independently access most biblical texts early on.
· Gradually builds students’ knowledge through wide exposure to a large number of biblical verses, prose, and poetry, accompanied by translation exercises.
· Offers many styles and different possible interpretations of various biblical texts so that students can independently and critically examine and evaluate biblical translations.
· Employs learning methods informed by second language pedagogy and related fields (e.g. order of presentation determined by both frequency and “learnability,” “Color by root groups” to internalize the complex verb system, etc.).
· A textbook and workbook for both the academic and non-academic classroom, as well as for the independent learner.

Articles by Rahel Halabe
Halabe on Hinneh as a reference book for Hebrew teachers
"Thanks to Teacher Rahel Halabe and her great book Hinneh: Biblical Hebrew the Practical Way. I had learned biblical Hebrew through the years by various means and materials but had not been successful until I joined Teacher Rahel’s course. She has been teaching us in a very systematic manner with love and patience. Her book covers many details of grammar but in a logical way so that students can fully grasp the building blocks of learning the biblical Hebrew. It also has many examples from the bible that demonstrate the concepts of the grammar a student has learned. I would strongly recommend her and her book to anyone who loves to learn this beautiful and godly language." - Roger Chang, a student at the Jewish Community Centre of Greater Vancouver, BC, July 2021
多謝Rahel Halabe 老師以及她的希伯來文教材“Biblical Hebrew the Practical Way”。我以前也曾經用不同方法學習希伯來文，但卻不甚成功，直到我參加Rachel 老師的課程。老師的教導很有系統，而且充滿耐性及愛心。這教材也包含學習聖經希伯來文的各種重點，而且有很多的聖經經文作為解釋，學員很容易掌握其中學習的秘訣。我極力推薦有意學習這美麗及神聖的語言的學生。- July 2021
" […] The strengths of this textbook are its logical organization, straightforward explanations, relevant and copious biblical examples, useful charts and illustrations, and interesting exercises employing biblical texts aimed at recognition and translation skills. Hinneh: Biblical Hebrew the Practical Way deserves consideration as a possible adoption for class, and for some instructors it may well become the textbook of choice." - Review of Biblical Literature, Michael Graves, July 2019

"Teachers should be pretty well satisfied with these introductory lessons. They are not only informative, but they are also laid out in a clear and easy to read manner. Visual space allows for the assimilation of the data. All in all, Halabé has made a significant contribution to introductory grammars." - Society of Biblical Literature, by John Engle, 2013
"She [Halabe] also stresses recognition rather than reproduction. She is not concerned to have the student write out paradigm after paradigm, but instead concerned that they could recognize a form in context." The Expository Times, Kurtis Peters (University of Edinburgh)
