Synopsis
In A Basic Introduction to Biblical Hebrew, Jo Ann Hackett offers a clear and carefully structured introduction to Biblical Hebrew grammar, combining a traditional, deductive approach with pedagogical refinements drawn from more than thirty years of classroom experience.
“Jo Ann Hackett’s grammar, the fruit of decades of classroom instruction, is clearly written, well organized, and easy to follow. She succeeds in getting method out of the way, so to speak, so that students may directly encounter the Hebrew language.”
–– Carson Brisson, Interpretation: A Journal of Bible and Theology
“An outstanding addition to the range of introductory Hebrew grammars. . . . Hackett avoids overwhelming the student with technicalities but does not shy away from teaching traditionally advanced concepts when they aid comprehension. . . . Students of Hackett’s grammar will be well prepared for more advanced discussion afterward.”
–– Kerry Lee, European Journal of Theology
Hackett’s grammar is divided into thirty clearly written lessons for use in a one-semester course or a two-semester sequence. Concepts are introduced in a logical progression suited to beginning language learners. Strong verbs are taught before weak verbs, and verbal paradigms are presented from first- to third-person, following familiar patterns of language acquisition. The book also offers a helpful introduction to the most common accents in Biblical Hebrew, which serve as a key to understanding the text.
A new companion website provides extensive audio and study resources to support the textbook. Students can listen to pronunciations of Hebrew vocabulary, paradigms, and exercises, as well as a complete reading of Genesis 22:1–19. The website also includes an answer key for the exercises in the book, making it useful for both classroom study and independent learning.
Features include:
- Thirty lessons for a one-semester course or a two-semester sequence
- Traditional grammar-based approach refined for beginning students
- Integrated vocabulary, paradigms, exercises, and chapter summaries
- Introduction to the most common Biblical Hebrew accents

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. It has long been acknowledged that the classic textbook Basics of Biblical Hebrew was the standard Hebrew grammar for college and seminary students wishing to study biblical Hebrew. With the release on Jo Ann Hackett's grammar A Basic Introduction to Biblical Hebrew that assumption can no longer be made. Hackett's grammar is arranged in 30 lessons which makes it excellent for intensive study over the period of 1 semester, or for 2 semesters over the course of an entire school year. During the study the stude4nt will encounter several new approaches to learning the language. First, Hackett lists verbal forms from 1st person to 3rd person, rather than the traditional approach of 3rd to 1st. She acknowledges that the traditional way in counter intuitive with English speaking students because they learn their verbs from 1st to 3rd. Second, rather than introducing both strong and weak verbs together, Hackett divides them and presents all strong verbs first, and then introduces weak verbs near the end of the book. Again, the principle in play here is to follow a formal order that layers and slowly introduces nuance into the language rather than shifting back and forth between straight forward items, and more difficult aspects of the language. Third, Hackett also jettisons what she believes are "old-fashioned methods" of teaching the Hebrew verbal system in favor of a more simple, but also more descriptive system using the terms "prefix conjugation" and "suffix conjugation." She also uses ve-qatal to describe what is popularly known as the "converted perfect". Fourth, unlike many Hebrew grammars, Hackett introduces her verbal forms logically. She notes, "It is a logical progression to begin with the prefix conjugation and lead up to the consecutive preterite. The consecutive preterite is the form beginning students must know thoroughly in order to read most biblical prose, and in order to lead them to that form, I needed to introduce the jussive, and in order to introduce the jussive, I first needed to present the prefix conjugation. Finally, Hackett introduces several new pedagogical techniques in her grammar. She emphasizes accent marks in her exercises, though both are artificial, or written by Hackett rather than taken from the biblical text. But Hackett's goal justifies her actions; she wants "to present both disjunctive and conjunctive accents to the students, and at this early time in their biblical Hebrew study, the impossibility of some of my combinations will not affect their learning the [accent] system as a whole." Along with this Hackett does stress the memorization of paradigms, and supplies verbs, where needed, to complete the paradigm even if a particular verbal form does not appear in the Hebrew text. The CD which accompanies the book contains several helpful features for the student, not least of which is its helpful pronunciation guide. This includes the pronunciation of all Hebrew-to-English exercises in lessons 1-15, and the first two exercises of lessons 16-30. It also supplies the full pronunciation of Genesis 22.1-19, a common text used by instructors to help students learn pronunciation. Lastly, the answers for the books exercises can be found on the CD-ROM, and an additional workbook containing graded reading of biblical passages, glosses, additional vocabulary, is in the works and will be keyed to this book.
