I also use Gesenius for reference (as does the rest of the world, I think). LOLSchubert wrote:I learned Biblical Hebrew (to the extent I know anything about it) using Practico-Van Pelt's Basics of Biblical Hebrew, together with its separate exercise book. One reason I liked Practico is that it is clearly laid out and the font size is relatively large.
However, I'm sorely tempted to purchase A Biblical Hebrew Reference Grammar. I've had a good look on Amazon at the inside contents of the book and think it would be of considerable assistance. At the moment my reference grammar is Gesenius.
I'm SOOOO tempted to pick up that reference grammar, too. I just don't know if I can justify the cost of the book by its value. I think I'll take another look.
I almost clicked "purchase" last night on the Tyndale House Greek New Testament, and I really had to fight myself away from the click. I already have too many Greek New Testaments. Why do I need another?!?! I have NA27, UBS4 and the Textus Receptus. I can't justify getting another one... Then again, I have like ten Hebrew Bibles, including one New Testament in Hebrew. Gotta stop spending money on books!
