Thank you Ger for your answer. I appreciate it!

You are right, there’s no sound difference between a nun at the end of a word (ן) from one that can be found anywhere else (נ). They only differ in form.

The D (ד) is part of a group called BGDKPT (בגדכפת) that can take a dot and not be doubled (other letters become two letters with the dot). In that group, B, K, and P will sound like V, Ch,…

Hi everyone! I’ve been learning the Biblical Hebrew for a couple weeks now and love it. However there are a couple of mistakes or I am not hearing the difference in Quiz 1.4 Letter Discrimination. I’ve written to support three times now and have not received a solution. Can any of you explain the difference in sound between “n” at the…

Hi, I’m Anavah, or Anna for short, I’m a Karaite Jew living in Chicago Illinois, I’ve been wanting to study the Torah more seriously and so I’ve been trying to learn Hebrew 🙂

Hi there! I’ve been reading Prof Khan’s book in Tiberian Hebrew.

I was wondering if there might not be a possibility that Hidayat al-Qari’s discussion of waw with shwa at the beginning of a word like beth raphe might not possible mean that beth raphe itself was itself pronounced as a bilabial fricative as opposed to a labio-dental fricative.…

I agree with g. I have already been studying Biblical Hebrew so have some knowledge. However I too am finding several errors. For example spoken choices not matching up with the letters and vowels. ָAn example on where I picked אִי which gives the ‘eee’ sound but this was marked as wrong.

Thank you everyone! It is resolved. שלום

Shalom Amit!

Yes, the normal Hebrew keyboard also works. But the Keyman Hebrew keyboard is just easier and more intuitive, with the nikkuds and sofits just a shift away on the same letters 😊

I advise you review the Keyboard settings under System Settings (in the mac apple menu on the top left). I installed Keyman but I don’t use it; I just added Hebrew, Arabic, and Yiddish QWERTY keyboard layouts for my needs. You can set it so there is a drop menu in the top and Apple offers one billion options, from Akan to Zulu

Hi Rachel,
You can install Keyman for Mac, then on this app, install the SBL Hebrew keyboard. Here’s the link to the app: https://keyman.com/mac/

I am Amit Christian. I am very much interested in learning Hebrew to study the word of God in its original language to get more deeper idea and concept of the Bible to Glorify His name meaningful in this hostile world.

Hello everyone,

For the quizzes where we are supposed to transcribe words, I don’t know how to activate a Hebrew script keyboard and Hebrew letters aren’t offered as an item to select in the quiz itself. Apparently transliterations of the clips are not accepted as answers. Does anyone know how to activate a Hebrew script keyboard while…

Hi Ben,

I have done some reading into how to do circumstantial clauses in Hebrew. Seems generally that the Infinitive Construct is used for this, with other ways as well.

I read Psalm 122 a while back and saw the Participle being used in a way that to me seems like it’s functioning as a circumstantial clause (verse 1):

Shalom! My name is Danya and I am grateful…to be writing this as I sit in a cool room here in Texas!

I started seeking for deeper perspective and understanding of the Bible a few years ago, and was led to do so through Biblical Hebrew. EVERYTHING STARTED TO CHANGE. It’s like going from black & white to color and my mind is constantly in a…

Cool, thanks for that.

I’ve also noticed in poetic texts I think it only uses suffixes directly on the verb and I don’t think I’ve seen את used in poetry (correct me if I’m wrong). Do you think this might mean the suffixes on the verb is the more archaic way (and why it’s used in poetry) and את is a later development in prose? I feel like there…

This is a good question. I suspect this is something that varies stylistically and from author to author to some degree. However, one thing I’ve noticed is that it is much more common to use אֶתְכֶם as a separate pronominal element with the direct object marker than it is to use כֶם- as a suffix on the verb.
