Keep Up Your Biblical Hebrew in Two Minutes a Day, Volume 2: 365 More Selections for Easy Review

After seminary or graduate school, very few of us can afford the luxury of spending more than a few minutes a day, if that, working on our Biblical Hebrew. Keep Up Your Biblical Hebrew in Two Minutes a Day: Volume 2 is designed to help anyone who has retained at least a basic knowledge of Biblical Hebrew to refresh and deepen their skills and understanding—even in the midst of a busy schedule.

Like its predecessor volume, Keep Up Your Biblical Hebrew in Two Minutes a Day: Volume 1, this book does not replace the need for a grammar or textbook; rather, it complements grammatical study by helping you to build a robust vocabulary and to review morphology and syntax in a completely inductive way, and without using any grammatical jargon. While volume 1 helps you review the 365 most common words in the Hebrew Bible, volume 2 focuses on the next most frequently occurring group of 365 words (those that occur between 121 and 50 times in the Hebrew Bible), likewise presenting these words one day at a time in order of descending frequency, and in the context of verses in which they appear. The structure and daily components found in volume 2 are identical to those of volume 1 and thus will be immediately familiar to anyone who has used that book.

After working through Keep Up Your Biblical Hebrew in Two Minutes a Day: Volume 1 and the first half of volume 2, you will have seen all the vocabulary you need in order to engage with any verse in the Hebrew Bible with the help of a resource such as Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia: A Reader’s Edition. And by the time you finish volume 2, you will have read through 730 verses of the Hebrew Bible in the original!
