Biblical Hebrew is a wonderful language that is essentially easy to learn, being limited to a minimalistic grammatical framework. At first glance, the foreignness of the script and the otherness of the linguistic system may be off-putting. But a closer study of the matter will swiftly open up the beauty and richness of the world of this Biblical language. This book wants to help to take the first steps into this universe. It is reduced to the absolute necessities and offers exactly the re-quired information without becoming verbose. Therefore, it is not written in tedi-ous lessons, but works from the beginning with the Biblical texts, analyzing all the phenomena encountered. This introduction reflects more than 30 years of university teaching; its predecessors in Germany have successfully accompanied many generations of students. Dr Frank Matheus is a lecturer of Biblical Hebrew at the University of M nster.
