Biblical Hebrew II Workshop (evening)

Biblical Hebrew II Workshop

An Online Course with Dr. David Zev Moster 
Eight Wednesdays: June 11, 18, 25; July 2, 9, 16, 23, 30, 2025 
7:00–8:30 p.m. ET   

Biblical Hebrew II is also offered on Wednesday afternoons from 2:00–3:30 p.m. EST.

Can you read passages in the Tanakh on your own but lack the confidence to translate some of the more advanced verbal forms in the Qal stem, including commands and wishes, the “flipping Vav,” infinitives, and participles? In eight live online sessions, we will read and workshop passages selected by the instructor and participants, using a variety of resources including Accordance Bible Software¹ and Dr. Moster’s Tanakh cards. We will approach grammar inductively, exploring linguistic phenomena as they come up in our study of the selected passages. Participants will be encouraged to complete an assignment for each class. By the end of the course, participants will be able to parse (in terms of person, number, tense) every type of Hebrew Qal verb.  

Recordings will be available for those unable to attend a session. Space is limited. 

Cost: $415
