The Routledge Introductory Course in Biblical Hebrew by Lily Kahn

This book provides a comprehensive introduction to Biblical Hebrew, presenting the essentials of biblical grammar and vocabulary in an engaging and systematic way.

"This is a comprehensive and very well organized textbook, with clear, detailed explanationsIt is also one of the most creative and original I have seen, and will be an excellent resource for learning biblical Hebrew." Aaron D. Rubin, Pennsylvania State University, USA

"For a long time, we have needed this new textbook for Biblical Hebrew. Lily Kahn's Introductory Course maintains the highest standards and incorporates the latest linguistic advances, and yet does not overwhelm or intimidate the student. This course has clearly been written by someone who is both an excellent linguist and an outstanding classroom teacher." Siam Bhayro, University of Exeter, UK

"Finally! Here is a Biblical Hebrew textbook that is comprehensive and academically rigorous but also highly accessible. Descriptions of grammatical features are both concise and conversational and follow a well-thought-out order. A succinct reference grammar distills information covered in the more discursive units. There is a nice mix of interesting exercises and immersion in biblical texts, with a firm emphasis on getting students to DO Hebrew. This is a text that will make Biblical Hebrew not just less daunting but fun."- Johanna Stiebert, University of Leeds, UK.

Lily Kahn is Head of the Department of Hebrew and Jewish Studies at University College London. Her publications include Colloquial Yiddish (2012) and Jewish Languages from A to Z (with Aaron Rubin, 2021), also published with Routledge.
