Hi, Folks!
According to the inside cover of my copy of Lambdin, it was 1991, when I took the Glasgow University Hebrew Summer School under the Rev Dr Alistair Hunter. we got as far as chapter fifteen and that was as far as I ever got. In addition to Lambdin's text I have the key provided for the course and the recommended Langenscheidt's pocket Hebrew dictionary. Over the years - always intending to return to Hebrew at some stage - I have acquired Davidson's Grammar and Key, and Weingreen's introductory grammar. In pursuing a key for Weingreen I was led to this forum. For some inexplicable reason I have also managed to stow away a copy of Weingreen's Hebrew Composition! Perhaps I'll do something with that in the 2030s, if I'm still breathing.
Barry Bandstra's 'Genesis 1-11: A Handbook on the Hebrew Text' is order from Amazon, because what's really prodding at me to get some Hebrew is the thought that there might be a lot to learn about Evolution v./& Genesis, if I were able to read the Hebrew version(s).
I should make it clear from the start (as a veteran of several fora) that I am not a polemical person, so if anyone wants a good old fashioned fight about Evolution and the Bible, they must look elsewhere for an opponent. That goes for everything else, too. I am here to learn. If anyone can help with that I'll be very grateful for all pointers offered.
Looking forward to engaging constructively with you all, and thanking you for letting me in,
Sean O'Buadhaigh
