The unit follows on from the Elementary Hebrew Course (L22001). The basics of Hebrew grammar will be reviewed, and important topics that have not been covered in the first year course will be treated. There will be more advanced discussion of selected topics in Hebrew grammar and syntax, particularly concerning the nature of the Hebrew verbal system, and the syntax of the conjugations. Other topics of importance in reading Hebrew texts may also be introduced. The unit will also include the reading, translation and exegesis of Hebrew texts in class, including both narrative and poetry.
