Intermediate Hebrew Grammar

by Andrew E. Steinmann

"Intermediate Hebrew Grammar" is a practical grammar for a second-year reading course in Biblical Hebrew. It fills the gap between conventional introductory teaching grammars and the advanced grammars. It is designed to be a readable and accessible introduction to advanced features of Hebrew grammar not normally covered in introductory grammars. Linguistic terms that may be unfamiliar to many students are defined and illustrated. Each point of grammar discussed is illustrated with examples from the text of the Hebrew Bible in both Hebrew and in translation. Important subjects are also summarized in twenty-two diagrams that succinctly summarize related material. An index of subjects allows the students to use "Intermediate Hebrew Grammar" as a reference work until they are prepared to move on to a more technical advanced grammar.
