A practical bridge for those navigating Hebrew grammar via tools like Accordance, BibleWorks, or Logos. Aimed at non-experts—pastors who've forgotten paradigms, students skipping full language courses, or lay readers—it demystifies terms like "Absolute," "Niphal," and "Waw Consecutive" without requiring rote memorization.
Each entry spans two pages: describing the form (e.g., Niphal's distinctive Dagesh and Qamets), explaining its function, and offering an exegetical insight from Scripture. For instance, the Hophal discussion in Jeremiah 6:6 highlights divine "special attention" to sin, contrasting with grace in Christ. Appendices cover basics like consonants, vowels, and pronunciation, plus a Scripture index and bibliography.
Michael critiques extremes—ignoring software or equating it with true language mastery—positioning this as a "middle ground" resource. Its user-friendly layout and real-world examples make Hebrew accessible, enriching exegesis. Minor quibble: assumes software access, but that's the point. Highly recommended for deepening Bible study without full immersion.

This is a wonderful addendum to the Hebrew written word. As such it's only accessible to those who can already read Hebrew very well It is very in depth and you will love the detail in it. If this is your thing it is a very valuable book. Great for rabbis, cantors and any serious student of the Hebrew language.
