How to Do a Hebrew Word Study

(Without Knowing Hebrew)


Lesson 1 | Lesson 2 | Lesson 3 | Lesson 4 | Lesson 5



Have you ever read a passage in your Bible and paused, wondering what a particular word truly meant in its original context? You're not alone—and you're in the right place. This mini course is designed for Bible readers like you—curious, thoughtful, and eager to dig deeper into Scripture, even if you don’t know a single letter of Hebrew.

Why I Created this Course

In many Bible studies today, there's a strong emphasis on reading and memorizing Scripture—but very little focus on understanding what the words themselves actually meant to the original authors and audience. It is because of these inadequacies that I created this course; to introduce you to the ancient Hebrew perspective of the Bible—a world where words were not just linguistic symbols but vivid, concrete expressions of life, culture, and belief. You'll begin to see the Bible not just as a spiritual book, but as a living record of a people and their interaction with God.

In just five lessons, you’ll learn how to uncover the richness of biblical Hebrew—without memorizing an alphabet or learning grammar charts. This isn’t about becoming fluent in Hebrew. It’s about learning to see the Bible through Hebrew eyes.


You’ll Discover:

  • How Hebrew words paint vivid pictures (even abstract ones like mercy or grace)
  • The surprising meaning of a few Hebrew words—and why translators struggle to define them
  • Why most Bible word studies fall short—and how to do them correctly
  • A step-by-step process you can use for any word in the Hebrew Bible

Along the way, you’ll follow the word ḥesed (חֶסֶד) as a thread, watching its meaning unfold through each lesson.


Who Is This Course Designed For?

  • Bible readers who want to go deeper than English translations
  • Bible teachers or group leaders who want to add depth to their studies
  • Anyone curious about what Hebrew words really mean—without the intimidation

You don’t need to know Hebrew. You just need a hunger to understand the Bible more accurately.
