Learn the methods to uncover the deeper meanings of Hebrew words behind the English translations.

But there is much more to a thorough study of a Hebrew word, which will open up a whole new world to the reader. This course will teach you how to dig deeper into the meanings of the words of the Bible to uncover the more in-depth understanding of the words in the Bible. Even if you do not know any Hebrew, the resources and tools available to you will provide you with a wealth of information.

Shalom, my name is Jeff Benner. I am the founder of the Ancient Hebrew Research Center and have written over a dozen books on Biblical Hebrew including the Mechanical Translation of Genesis and Exodus and the Ancient Hebrew Lexicon of the Bible. Through years of study, research and teaching others, I have developed a method of studying Hebrew words that will benefit you in seeking a deeper understanding of the Bible.

The Hebrew Bible (called the Tanakh by Jews and the Old Testament by Christians) was written by Hebrews whose language and culture was very different from our own. A language is closely tied to the culture of those who speak the language. In the case of the Hebrews, who were a nomadic and agrarian people, their language was closely connected to that culture and lifestyle. When we read the Bible, our 20th Century culture and lifestyle will often influence how we interpret it, therefore it is essential that we read and study the Bible from their culture and perspective so that we can better understand the Bible.

Chet Burba: it is showing how warped are western thinking is and it brings to mind that there is a true meaning to the dimensions of the wilderness tabernacle. sooooo interesting

Jackie Benson: Exactly what the course is advertised as, is what is here. This helps you understand Hebrew and how to seek out and find the deeper meaning of Hebrew words compared to English translations of Hebrew. Truly a blessing (gift)!!!!!

Rachel Levi: There are many Biblical Hebrew courses but few that actually explain the character of Biblical Hebrew. This course goes into the mentality, cultural values, and even geography of Ancient Israel in order to explain the linguistic features. I design beginning Biblical Hebrew courses, but I had much to learn in this course. I would encourage others who teach Biblical Hebrew to take this course. It will give you a new perspective on the language and give depth to your teaching.

Matthew Baker: This course goes deep into the Hebrew of the Bible yet remains very easy to follow. I found the word-study assignments very helpful to put the knowledge learned in this course to work. I look forward to studying the Old Testament with this new understanding, and also to taking Mr. Benner's Hebrew language course here on Udemy.

Silvia Mondragón: I love the simplicity of the explanations. The descriptions are helping me to better understand God's Holy Word. It is giving me a desire to dig deeper! Thank you.
