Surprised to find biblical hebrew course lessons online for free. On an urge decided to learn hebrew language well it has proved frutiful. Dr.Bill your method of teaching is excellent and easy to follow. Have downloaded the free course workbook and answer key. Very grateful from India. 24th Feb 2021.

Thank you for your generosity in providing for us with such good full course in Hebrews. Feels like I’m in the classroom. Thank you so much.

As an MDiv student, this is a great blessing. I just can't believe that Hebrew Classes are here online for FREE. I mean for FREE. God bless you much Dr.Bill

I went to Dr. Barrick's Website, and for free, downloaded both the Textbook & Workbook. This is fantastic ... Getting books and course at a price, and a speed I can handle. All the efforts of those involved is very much appreciated. THANX!

Tons of thanks to Dr. Barrick for your wonderful lectures and serving with free materials... I will share these with many people. God bless you!!

Impressed by the teaching method and thank you Dr. Bill for teaching us for free.God bless you so much.

Very distinguished and professional in his presentation. Makes you want to understand every single point he is making.

Your teaching is amazing! Hebrew is so very easy now. I love it! God is so wonderful to allow us to study His Language!!! Professor Barrick, you have a gift for teaching! May we use our time to bring forth goodness and the Glory of God through His Word. My time is spent with Him. No waiting time here. Preparing for the Bride Groom. The end draws nigh. Be blessed!

We are capturing his PPT through a converter, so it is the best we could do at the time sadly. The newer stuff has better resolution, so hopefully that issue is resolved.

Thank you for the lesson. Your lessons are just about the only study material I have found that didn't confuse me. Looking forward to the rest of the class.

So impressed with your teaching. I would love to have the workbook.

It’s interesting to hear the students answers of why they feel that it’s important for them to learn Biblical Hebrew. You can hear they bias and schools of influence in their answers. It’s rare that we research subjects out before we drive in to them. Hebrews is a great start when studying the text of scriptures for understanding. It gives us a reference point for translation and looking deep into the different schools of Hebrew.

Excellent lecture series.

very useful thank you so much, Dr. Bill Barrick

Great stuff super greatful to have this open resource,just put off by the way he pronounces the words he doesnt use an accent,but he said when he was praying in Jerusalem they said he used a ancient Hebrew accent.

thank you so much for this course, it's really a precious gift for everyone who wants to learn ancient hebrew!

Thank you sr. You are best language teacher .Because teach very systematically the language not spoke today.

Love this class …thank you

Very useful and easy to understand.

Very useful. Thank you sir.

A great class Sir

Bris is not the modern Hebrew pronunciation. It is the traditional Ashkenazi pronunciation. The modern Hebrew pronunciation is "brit", but many Hebrew words are pronounced with the "s" sound for the last letter thav, because of Yiddish influence.

I don't know why English speakers say sin before Shin, we say Shin first. (Maybe because the letter Shin does not exist in their alphabet).

Thank You.

the words are very small on the computer screen - also the beit never seems to have a dagesh in it.

Does anybody know which version of the workbook he’s using? The exercise on the vowels (C) doesn’t look the same as the slide. There are so many more pointings on the exercise in the revised version of the workbook (2004).

52:03 Vocabulary and at 1:13:46 56:10 Vowels

awesome

much love

Alef is said to be guttural because originally it is supposed to be pronounced as guttural stop and not as a silent consonant. The 'ayin had originally not a silent sound, but some kind of guttural friction, such the Arabic counterpart, also called 'ayin is pronounced, which is also absolutely not silent. The Yemenite Jews pronounce it the same way the Arabic speakers do nowadays.

It is the language spoken by G-d to create the universe by using words.

Do you give authorisation to download your videos? Thank you very Much. Shalom Shalom and God bless!

French sound for R is a roll in the throat. Is this the same for Resh? It can be hard for English speakers to pronounce, but would make sense as a guttural.

❤SE DICE YESHUA...

the "aleph-beyth" song sounds very much like the classical guitar tune "romanza". I wonder which came first?

my only question is the yod sometimes its a eee or iiii then sometimes its a ayy sound why is that

So at the 1 hour mark where he gets to the comitz hatooph (sic!) you could say it’s more like the word “good” than “sod”?

I'm not finding that free Hebrew Tutor website; nor do I find it linked to on his website's Links page.

what textbook are they using?

does anyone know the name of the textbook they are using and author?

אני שב לצפות את הסרטון הזה, ואני יודע עברית שמונה חדושים. פעם נפרדנו, אך עכשיו אנחנו לא עוד. אז כמוני שב וישר אני עתה, גם אתם שובו בתשובה, ולהפרד!

Someone knows the name of the workbook please 🥺

❤

56:13 the vowels

I'm struggling now :( I thought before the pace was too slow, now all of a sudden I'm lost. I think there is too much of an information dump in this lecture.

What is the Full Letter Vowel 20:19? What are those? When and where did Mr. Barrick intruduced it before? Is it in this lecture 3 or previous lecture?

how can i take class notes .

when I studied Spanish....I had a tutor, and we did no tests.....and I can use that language....also with French....same thing....I think it will be necessary to hire myself a tutor....and just talk back and forth, again.....this emphesis, on tests...and such....well...it doesnt work, for me...

Great class! But why is everyone dressed up?

He says quite upfront... this is Biblical Hebrew.. ! Not modern street lingo.. Apps have modern common pronunciation.. etc. "RUSTY BRICK" apps .. there's a bunch

*56:08** VOWELS*

everybody in class dressed in business casual lol

hey, i thought you were drawing a qoph, .... get it? qoph kinda looks like a hey

👍

Lost so many viewers since Lesson 1, rip.

I don't think he covers this squiggly S thing maybe I missed it תּוֹדָה֮

No, you cannot equally say antisemitism refers to Arabs. That is not where the term comes from.

Modern Hebrew does not say bris, Dr. Barrick does not know modern Hebrew. Bris is a ritual circumcision, only in Ashkenazi Hebrew do you say Bris, Modern Hebrew uses the Sephardic pronunciation. Dr Barrick knows all about Biblical Hebrew, but his pronunciation is horrendous.

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)

ethiopic ??? Does he mean Ethiopian??? Phoenishin;??? Does he mean Phoenician???

His pronunciation is awful.

There are no women in the class

Why is this being used to replace the Biblical Hebrew? Why is the Yiddish script being taught as modern Hebrew? Please explain your thinking on “why” it’s being replaced with Yiddish writing script. Lastly, do you understand that the word Yiddish is translated as Jewish. They are the same exact word. “Jewish” means “Yiddish” when translated. They are equivalent. The Deception begins in the languages

This professor should probably not talk about antisemitism. He doesn't know what he is talking about.

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.

Why is this a men only seminary??

Oh dear...this will put anyone off....please if you want to learn Hebrew don’t give up it doesn’t have to be this dull and boring...full of errors
