Old Testament Hebrew Vocabulary

Jonathan T. Pennington

Old Testament Hebrew Vocabulary has been developed to help studentslearn and review biblical Hebrew vocabulary. While there are other toolsavailable, this project is unique because it combines the printed wordwith the spoken word. This enables the student to engage the material ina more effective way, through multisensory learning.

Many students who come to biblical Hebrew will have also learned someKoine Greek. In both instances, the hard work of vocabulary learning isessential for efficient reading and use of the biblical texts. In the case ofGreek, many words have recognizable cognates in English. With Hebrew,however, this is less often the case. Therefore, a ready knowledge of Hebrewvocabulary is all the more important to effectively read and study theHebrew Bible.

In the introduction to my New Testament Greek Vocabulary (Zondervan,2001), I offered a few tips for maximizing the time spent in vocabularystudy:

Use all the senses. Our retention of information grows exponentiallywhen we use all of our senses. Using this program to hear andpronounce the words is another way to greatly increase learning.The student will do well to also write out the words he or she istrying to learn.

Repetition. Repetition. Repetition. When learning a musical

3

instrument, it is far superior to play one’s scales for fifteen minutes

a day than to play for three hours on Saturday. So it is with vocabulary.Using this booklet and the audio program regularly – even fiveminutes per day – will eventually make these words second nature.

Be consistent. In learning a new word, be careful to always pronouncethe sounds correctly and to emphasize the correct syllable.Consistency here will save you much time and effort.

Using This ProgramOld Testament Hebrew Vocabulary consists of all the words that occur in theMasoretic Text of the Hebrew Bible twenty times or more. Also includedare proper names that occur one hundred times or more. All the wordsare broken into groups by frequency, or how often they appear in the text.Within each group the words are alphabetized in Hebrew order.

This arrangement is designed to facilitate the “word frequency count”method of learning. This is a logical and efficient way to learn vocabulary,as more common words are learned before less common ones. This audioprogram serves the needs of both first- and second-year students, as wellas anyone desiring to review and maintain their vocabulary.

It is important to note that the glosses (definitions) given for each Hebrewword are not the only possible translations. Words are delightfully flexible,especially across time and genre. The glosses given here are meant as the"first-try" in translating and will generally give the student a good workingdefinition. For more options and more detailed study, one should alwaysconsult a standard lexicon. The glosses used here are based in the firstinstance on the lexical work of Miles Van Pelt and Gary Pratico in theirVocabulary Guide for Biblical Hebrew (Zondervan, 2003), though they will

vary at times and will often be condensed.

AcknowledgmentsThis project came into being at the initiative of my editor, Verlyn Verbrugge.It has been a great pleasure to work with Verlyn on several projects overthe last couple of years. I am thankful for his expertise, efficiency, andkindness.

Also, great thanks go to recording engineer, Jeff Bowden. Jeff’s talents inthe recording booth and his enthusiasm for the projects are greatlyappreciated.

I would be remiss not to acknowledge that the bulk of the preparatorywork for this project was done through the skill and diligence of MilesVan Pelt. I gladly acknowledge his greater knowledge of Hebrew thanmine and appreciate his labors through many editorial revisions and hoursof recording! Any errors remain mine.
