Module 1: Introduction

Module 1 consists of introductory content dealing with a brief history of biblical Hebrew language, going over the alphabet, pronunciation and writing skills. It is vital to learn ABCs of Hebrew so you can learn how to read the words and relate them with the meaning of the words.

Module 2: Vowel Pointings

Module 2 would consist of Hebrew Vowel Pointing; Tri-Literal Roots; Bi-Literal Roots; Other Roots. It gets a little exciting! Biblical Hebrew originally did not have any vowel pointing, but thanks to the Masoretes who added the vowel pointings. If not, it would be very difficult to read and understand Hebrew!

Module 3: Conjunctions

Just like we have English words/conjunctions such as "and," and "but", etc., there are also conjunctions in Hebrew. This module will focus on Hebrew conjunctions. These conjunctions serve to link words and ideas, with the most common being the letter waw (ו), which is typically translated as "and."

Module 4: Nominals

In this module we will focus on nominals. In Biblical Hebrew, Hebrew nominals are a category of words in Biblical Hebrew that refer to entities such as people, places, and things. This category includes various forms like pronouns, nouns, and numerals
