Biblical Hebrew

Learn Biblical Hebrew Courses Online & in London

Biblical Hebrew is part of the Semitic language family, which also includes Arabic and Maltese. As one of the most important and influential books in human history, the Hebrew Bible can best be understood and appreciated when read in its original Hebrew text.

Beginner to advanced level courses

Our Biblical Hebrew courses range from beginner to advanced levels. As a beginner, we will introduce you to the grammar of this language and give you the skills for reading, translating, and analysing the Bible text.  If you already know a bit of Biblical Hebrew, choose an advanced course to sharpen your skills and gain a deeper understanding of the Hebrew Bible by reading it in its original text.

If you're interested, we also offer Modern Hebrew online courses.

We offer a range of long and short courses allowing you to choose between in-person and online learning.

    Location on this date:  Online

    Tutors:  Ann Jeffers, Rachel Montagu
    The Psalms are often referred to as “the heart of the Old Testament/Hebrew Bible” or as John Calvin said, the Psalms represent ‘an anatomy of all parts of the soul, for there is not an emotion of which any one can be conscious that is not here represented as in a mirror.’ Within 150 variations, the Psalms express a wide variety of emotions, from despair, to thanksgiving and confidence in the eventual triumph of God’s purposes in the world. These expressions of emotion serve as patterns of prayer to shape the emotions and actions of Jews and Christians throughout the ages.
