Acclaimed authors and teachers Miles Van Pelt and Gary D. Pratico have assembled here a guide for mastering basic Hebrew vocabulary. This guide helps seminary and Christian college students learn relevant Hebrew vocabulary conceptually. Grouping Hebrew vocabulary in three basic consonants this guide contains:
“By memorizing only the first fifty words in the frequency vocabulary list, students will be equipped to recognize almost 55% of the total words that occur in the Hebrew Old Testament (419,687). Students who master the 641 words that occur fifty or more times will be able to recognize over 80% of all words. Finally, those who are brave enough to master all 1,903 words in the frequency vocabulary list will be equipped to recognize almost 90% of all words that occur in the Hebrew Old Testament.” (Page ix)
“(Hi) to tell, announce, report, declare, inform; (Hoph) be told, be announced, be reported (371)” (Page 8) |
“to go in, enter, come to, come upon, arrive; (Hi) bring (in), come (in); (Hoph) be brought” (Page 2) |
“because; (adversative) but, except; (emphatic) indeed, truly” (Page 2) |
“Occasionally, other information may follow, such as a reference to a related or cognate form (see entries #50, #51 and #52).” (Page x)
