What Took Me So Long...Plus a Great Resource for Biblical Languages!

I neglected to mention why I've been away from my blog in the last post. It was because I was doing a year’s worth of Biblical Hebrew (the language of the Old Testament/Hebrew Bible) in 56 days! Along with a few other responsibilities, it kept me very busy. The class was a blast, my classmates were very engaging, the professor was very down to Earth and made the course fun, and of course, like Greek was, it’s thrilling learning the language of the Scriptures! I’ll continue taking more Hebrew during the year, potentially until I finish my Master’s, but I theoretically know all the grammar now, and have already translated the book of Jonah, and other passages.

When the summer term finished I remembered that, at one point, I had a Greek paradigm cheat sheet. Recalling how useful it was for a quick parsing reference, I began to scour the Internet for a Hebrew equivalent to stay fresh. After digging for a bit, I located the perfect resource, and for students of both Greek and Hebrew alike! It turns out Logos Bible Software makes the perfect paradigm charts for quick reference, and you can download and print the PDF version completely free! Grab them here. Pretty nice right?
