This course is the final in the Biblical Hebrew program, completing Hebrew 101, 102, and 103. In this last course, you'll work through Chapters 31 through 40 of Mark Futato’s Beginning Biblical Hebrew, reinforcing what you've learned and expanding your ability to read and write Biblical Hebrew with more accuracy and confidence. As with the previous courses, you'll go chapter by chapter through readings and practice exercises, supported by Dr. Heiser’s brief overviews, grammatical explanations, and pronunciation tips—helping you move beyond introductory study and apply Biblical Hebrew more effectively in scriptural settings.
