Intermediate Biblical Hebrew Grammar: A Student's Guide to Phonology and Morphology

A unique grammar for intermediate or advanced students of Hebrew

This grammar is intended for students of Hebrew who wish to learn more about the history of the Hebrew language, specifically its phonology and morphology. Reymond focuses on aspects of Hebrew that will encourage a student to better remember the words and their inflection as well as those that will reinforce general principles of the language. Specific examples for memorization are outlined at the end of each chapter. The book also serves as a resource for students wishing to remind themselves of the relative frequency of certain phenomena. The book provides students with a full picture of the language's morphology.

Features:

• Tables of nouns and adjectives illustrating the absolute and construct, singular and plural forms, as well as all the forms with suffixes
• Tables include forms not found in the Masoretic Text
• Additional tables that set similar verbal inflections side by side
