Regardless of however good or bad the pronunciation is, this is a great series. Thank you for posting it.

Thanks for teaching the Biblical Hebrew.

I am so overwhelmed by the amount of information in this lecture, but it was so good...O.O It all makes sense, he's one of the most coherent teachers I've ever seen, but boy is it a lot of info. I will have to watch this lecture maybe like three times, and write everything down. Thanks for sharing your lectures!

Excellent series. Thank you for making this available.

I love listening to the study questions. He’s covering stuff I’ve already read in multiple grammar, and I thought I understood, but realized I hadn’t understood when I hear one of the questions that may be see a misunderstanding I had. It’s that learning curve he was talking about. Thank you so much for putting this online!

I am very grateful for these series of Biblical Hebrew grammar. Thank you so much for sharing it. God bless

recently discovered your classes. even without your class workbook you really make me feel like I'm picking up a lot of information. I loved your explanation of different kinds of learning, because I'm one that takes a long time for new facts to settle in.. Theres a lot of stuff there and I feel like I'm swimming in deep waters. but I feel like in a few months I will actually have a lot of it absorbed into my brain todah shalom

His pronunciation is strange, for he tries to make it closer to the Classical one, but it still has some Modern features mixed with an strong English accent, but that is not such a great problem, because grammatically he seems to be a really very good teacher. If he improves his pronunciation, that would be fantastic, but it is still good and useful, thx for uploading it.

Well he is teaching ancient Hebrew which, depending on who you talk to, sounded quite different in many ways. As far how he is teaching the text, is that not the approach he takes? Taking the literal hermeneutic based on what we understand the language to mean in light of the culture it was written in?

Gracias por sus lecciones, aprendo mucho, sigan adelante .

Thank you

for people more interested in the texts themselves...inc. hebrew poetry, authentic pronunciation I guess at 5 per cent importance at most .......this goes for the painstaking attempts to reconstruct others too, eg. Latin ....why not , the main "classics" , all three. this form of Dr Barrick and many others, eg. Rev J Dobson, or Harper, is for learning. review of gutterals starts at 39 mins begedkephat at 48 mins , dagesh lene 49, dagesh fort4e at 58 mins

I am also wondering why Zondervan’s Hebrew grammar makes us divide syllables with half vowels. I did one of their exercises with the rules I learned here and they were counted wrong in the answer key. But I wasn’t getting a grade. Just wondered why grammars disagree on this point.

Dr.Barrick sir,Can you please explain further and give examples on the question,When is the dagesh omitted in begadkhephat letters? thank you

I believe i discovered something dr barrick when 12 min remmaing for the video to end. Instead lf whatching for small vowell and then dagesh for doubling instead try to separate into syllables. If this doednt work you replicate the before the last sound and there you have a copy of the other dagesh. Tell me what you think

It is getting very difficult to follow this class now that the students are speaking out more and their answers are not always audible.

The pronunciation is a little wonky.

1:04:37 I understand why it is a hardening dagesh, but why is it also a doubling dagesh??? can someone explain that to me??

Welp, no exercise book, but I learned a lot, did he ever mention the name of the exercise book?

The niqquds are too small for the video quality. Too bad I can't fully feel joining their exercise in this lesson 😔

Did you mean to say that Biblical Hebrew doesn’t have a word for grandson and great grandson?

Is the dagesh masoretic or does it appear when there are no vowel marks and in old texts?

Is it really that bad?

Yes, You are unintentionally doing your students a great disservice. Why don't you enroll in a good Upan class? Or try e-teacher, or try livemocha,com. You have great knowledge other than the fact that you are unable to understand the text from the time, culture and eastern though that the jews lived in. i have no problem with Christians being Christian, but it would help you if you started from a literal concrete translation while keeping in ind the culture and social norms of the time.

Are The Man-Made Vowel-Marks Inspired, Or Corrupting Influences? The Hebrew scholars of today fully defend the uninspired vowel manipulations that have corrupted the phonology of Hebrew. The Hebrew letters as they were originally written without these vowel marks enable future generations to “call” on the Name (see Psalm 102:18), but the Masoretes’ niqqud marks were designed to do the opposite. They divert a reader away from pronouncing the Name. They have caused great damage to the language, and caused His people to “howl.” (see YashaYahu 52:5, also Psalm 2)

why is women are not seen in this class

Ok big question here if ancient Biblical Hebrew had no vowels why use vowels at all. Is this not adding to the words as YHWH says not to do? This is correct Matthew 5:18 For I assure you: Until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or one stroke of a letter will pass from the law until all things are accomplished. This is incorrect because these vowel dots did not exist then and can be proved easily by looking at the Isaiah Scroll Matthew 5:18 18 For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished. Also the word Gentile is no where in the Tanakh or the New Testament at all Genesis 12:2 And I will make of you a great nation (GOY לגוי) , and I will bless you and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. So many many errors and most on purpose Over 60 warnings about Saul buried in translation errors ANCIENT HEBREW WHAT YOU WOULD REALLY READ…. Grave in Hebrew קְבוּרָה Hell in Hebrew is גֵיהִנוֹם Saul שאול Sheol שאול

Keep in mind that the modern Hebrew has been distorted with other outside influences. The Responsible party that twisted the letter alef (A) into ayin (E), was by a Karaite sect called the Masoretes. This same sect began with Anan Ben David in 767 CE/AD, this sect of Masoretes (traditionalists) did not want anyone uttering the true Name YOD-HAY-UAU-HAY as "Yahuah," so they invented vowel distortions with niqqud and cantillation marks to train those reading Hebrew to mispronounce words. ALAHIM (or ALAHYM) became "ELOHIM." YAHU became YEHO. They left the name ABRAHIM alone for some unknown reason, otherwise it would be EBRAHIM today. The Hebrew root "AL" (ALEF-LAMED) became "EL." This root is not a name of any kind, it is a pronoun implying lofty, upward, highness, strength, mightiness, etc. The Israeli airline EL-AL means to go + upward. EL-AL is spelled ayin-lamed (EL) + alef-lamed (AL). YAHUAH ALAHIM fully translated means: "I WAS, I AM, I WILL BE (your) MIGHTY ONE." Conclusion: What is a vowel, or a better question would be, what's the basic & actual meaning of a vowel,? Answer: A speech sound produced without occluding, diverting, or obstructing the flow of air from the lungs. The modern letter V would not be according to the definition stated above, however the letter V back then was equal to our much modern letter U, an example would be, the arch of Titvs, today that would be, the arch of Titus. Also the letter W is also somewhat a modern letter, otherwise it's just that, A Double UU! So technically the common word known as noun, could be spelled nown, otherwise phonetically they would sound the same etc. Anyway, the vowels ALEF, AYIN, HAY, YOD, UAU of Hebrew are written down to be sounded letters. These became the Greek and Latin vowels we use in English, A E I O U. Yusef Ben MattithYahu (aka Flavius Josephus) said He saw the Name written in four Hebrew vowels (not the Aramaic script mistakenly called “modern Hebrew”). All written letters represent sounds. I submit the Masoretes (traditionalists) and their attempted alterations cannot be trusted! Due to the Masoretes, we inherited the idea it is ELI, giving the form ELIYAHU (aka Elijah). The true Hebrew name is ALIYAHU. The ALEF-LAMED is best transliterated as AL, not so much as EL.

Tov is good not beautiful!

OMG! He has NO idea how terrible his pronunciation is. How can this be????
