Description
After studying Hebrew for a year or two, readers often find it challenging to transition from their initial study of the language to reading extended passages from the Hebrew Bible. This book helps bridge this gap by presenting a curated selection of texts that are well known, exciting to read, and pivotal for understanding the narrative arc of the Old Testament. The volume contains forty key passages divided into five sections: the primeval history, the patriarchs and their sojourning, Israel in Egypt, Israel at Sinai, and Israel's journey through the wilderness until just before they enter the promised land.
