HEB 205 Intermediate Biblical Hebrew I-Prose
Is the first semester of the two-semester sequence in intermediate biblical Hebrew. This course focuses on prose portions of the Hebrew Bible from the Pentateuch and historical books. Attention is now paid to the finer points of Hebrew syntax, the proper use of the textual apparatus provided by the standard form of the Hebrew Bible (the Masoretic Text), and basic principles of exegesis. Vocabulary will be developed to include all words occurring 50 or more times in the Old Testament/Hebrew Bible.
