HINNEH: Biblical Hebrew the Practical Way

The Hinneh E-Tool Box offered here has now been updated to integrate the color coded verb Tools: 7 verb stem paradigms, 15 frequently occurring verbs of 5 stems in all forms.

Hinneh - Biblical Hebrew the Practical Way is a three-volume, non-intimidating but rigorous introductory textbook thoroughly guiding both teachers and students through the challenges of classical Hebrew. The Hinneh program balances two major demands of an introductory language program: the reflection of the most frequently occurring lexical and grammatical examples, and the sequencing of the material in a way that makes teaching and learning easier.

Hinneh will guide you through original Biblical texts, put them in context, introduce important grammatical concepts in a comprehensive but friendly manner, balance between frequency and learnability, present color coded learning methods, and provide comparative translations and other innovative features.

Color coding has been one of Hinneh’s essential methods of effectively imparting the complex Biblical Hebrew verb system.  This method is an extremely useful tool for both instructors and students, helping them to teach and learn Hebrew verbs (stem, form, root group) and enabling students to read verbs in context and soundly interpret them. Throughout volumes I and II (the paperback edition or e-book, instructors are advised to present the verb stem paradigms, printed on sheets of different colors, to their students, while the students, as they progress, manually highlight verbs of the different root groups following an assigned color scheme in the fully conjugated lists of frequently occurring verbs. Students have found this color coding method highly successful when internalizing the complexity of the material.

This Hinneh Tool Box includes detailed parsing charts of different categories and levels, many Tools related to possessive suffixes, nouns, prepositions, adjectives, fully declined frequently occurring biblical vocabulary lists, and more.
