Synopsis

Course Of Hebrew Study: Adapted To The Use Of Beginners by Moses Stuart is a didactic resource for students beginning Hebrew in the early 19th century. This volume (Vol. II) acts as a sequel to his Hebrew Chrestomathy, presenting extracts in prose from the Hebrew Bible accompanied by grammatical notes, glossaries, and exercises designed to reinforce fundamental Hebrew forms and exegesis. Stuart emphasizes accessible progression: a student completes the prior volume and then uses this collection to connect grammar to biblical interpretation. The Preface explains aims to avoid “half-made” knowledge, to guide the beginner step by step through the grammar, syntax, and exegesis, and to foster engagement with the Bible’s beauty and breadth. The text includes extensive apparatus: histories (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Deuteronomy, Joshua, Samuel), excursuses on archaeology and philology, notes on lexical items, and linguistic explanations. It reflects early American pedagogy, illustrating how language instruction was woven with biblical study and critical discussion of grammar and interpretation.
