HEB 101: Introduction to Biblical Hebrew (Prerequisite: BIB 101 Old Testament Survey)

Enrich your study, enrich your life. Experience the power of scripture through loshan hakodesh—the holy tongue it was originally penned in.

There is no language like Biblical Hebrew.  The earliest roots of this ancient Semitic language go back over 4000 years.  In fact, many have called Biblical Hebrew loshan hakodesh or the holy tongue.

The Hebrew Bible has been a primary source for many academic fields of study.  Archaeology, epigraphy, history, theology, geography, poetry, law, and literature have all been greatly impacted by the power of Biblical Hebrew.
