Comments

J: Perhaps not as detailed, or with as much discussion or examples as a Greek Syntax book, this book lists uses of various forms and syntactic functions of Biblically Hebrew.

J. Hatfield: Very nice revision of a classic tool for the beginner and intermediate reading of biblical Hebrew, this will remain on the must-have list of books for the serious student of biblical Hebrew. Type-font is much improved from the original edition with a handsome cover being an improvement over the dull blue cover on the original edition. I heartily recommend this reference tool without reservation.

John S. Harris: This book is the most direct and in your face notebook style written grammar book I've ever seen, making it very enjoyable and easy to use. However it is a tad deceptive in that title of this book leads you to believe it deals solely with word order, it saved the discussion of kinds of syntax solely for the end of the book in a small section in the back and could have definitely benefited from having a exercises/workbook (to practice identifying passage's structures and sorts of clauses employed) with answer key in the back inside this book. I realize that the book needed to mention like every other point of grammar as it is all useful as piecing together clues I suppose on syntax, but in order for the title to match up with this book better it ought to have devoted much more attention to explaining the syntax and types of clauses. It at least and example or two for everything thing in the book but I thought that the book would greatly benefit with a little workbook set of exercises from actual passages in the Hebrew Bible (with an answer key) in the back, to practice identifying the clauses you learned about in the book.

Akreios: Great! Used this in Hebrew Syntax classes some 30 years ago. It has pleasantly been upgraded and improved. I would move it to the second semester of Hebrew reading rather than the first. Avoid the larger texts as they complicate things early on and are more for Grammarians than those who simply wish to read Hebrew. By the way, advanced classes often equal more grammar. However, as you would in English, get to the reading rather than the advanced English stuff; which is really for the Grammarians. So: 1. Basic Grammar (suggest PUTNAM as the best Basic Grammar) 2. Basic Syntax (Use This Book!) and Vocabulary Mastery by roots (George M. Lands', Building Your Hebrew Vocabulary, or Dennis Dickinson's, Biblical Hebrew Vocabulary (Short List), for complete Vocabulary Mastery) Saves a lot of time! 3. Put some miles behind you in Reading pure Hebrew and mastering more Vocabulary. If you wish to be a Hebrew Grammarian, fine; But if Reading the Hebrew Bible comfortably is your goal, then here is your Second Year Text.

Lucas: While there are serval textbooks that treats Biblical Hebrew syntax issues, I think William 's Hebrew syntax by far is the most comprehensive and readable grammar book on the market. It treats each category of Biblical hebrew syntax-noun, verb, prepostion, and sentence structures- down to minutest detail. But in my opion, William have had least treatment of wav-consective topic where he just went throught the basics (probably due to the the controveral nature, he refrain to draw any conclusive statement regarding wav-connsective which leave the final judegment to the readers ) as oppose to the Intermediate Biblical Hebrew by Andrew E. Steinmann that give fuller treatment helping the readers to grasp one of the most diffcult yet controversal issue among the acdemic circle of the day. Well, that being said it , however, it does not downplay the overall content quality of the william's Biblical Hebrew Syntax.
