I post a lot of Biblical Hebrew information online on the Facebook Page " Crestview Ward Biblical Hebrew Fans". A lot of people are interested in learning more and I thought it would be great to share related information and tools.
The plan is to go through the Bible, verses/paragraphs at a time. To start I am going through Genesis pretty much word for word. If you want to learn Hebrew, that is the best way - immersion method.
I took a look at Joseph Smith's translation and it has no manuscript underneath it so I have set that aside for now. Ultimately, I do want to compare word usage but that is a scholarly task and I'm sure someone has already done it. If anyone sees a book that has already done it, let me know.
The main tools I use and you will see in here is the Blue Letter Bible for translation information. Other sites are just as good except I am used to this site so that is what I use and I know it works well.
I also learn a lot about Hebrew by going to a site called "Nehemia's Wall". He is a Biblical Hebrew scholar and has even worked on translating the Dead Sea Scrolls with Emmanuel Tov before Mr. Tov retired - if he is retired... and I think that is up for debate. The website is at http://nehemiaswall.com/
A really good site to get more in-depth with the letters of Hebrew is called Hebrew for Christians at http://hebrew4christians.com/. This site also goes through Hebrew grammar, which is interesting.
If you have any tools or comments, please feel free to do so.
