Customer Reviews

Comprehensive and yet easy to use.
This is a great book to use to continue building on introductory Hebrew knowledge. They present their material in clear and concise language. They do not attempt to show off how brilliant they are by using words that most of us have never heard.

I would study a passage and use their scripture index to see what they said about a particular verse. This may not have been their intention, but they cover a lot of scripture as they explain Hebrew. I found that the index was accurate as to a passages location and it was easy to find (unlike Gesenius' book).

I also appreciated the large type that they use. Many books of this sort try to cram as much information onto every page that they can. This book is easy to scan when looking for something. Even the footnotes are easy to read.

I don't believe that any student of Hebrew would regret buying this book.

Use Caution when relying on this work
This work is an interesting volume. Useful for understanding that there is syntax in the Hebrew language, but not exactly for understanding how that syntax functions. Waltke O'Connor's categories are often misleading, and their examples don't always show what they want them to show.

Standard Grammar for the Biblical Hebrew Syntax
This Grammar offers a new non traditional view on the problems of the Biblical Hebrew syntax. It is indispensable for those who want to understand the Hebrew biblical text on the professional level.
