As a young scholar I had dreams of making a contribution in the area of biblical languages. I wanted to make the richness of the Hebrew and Greek texts more accessible to interpreters of the Bible. I studied both Hebrew and Greek and my doctoral degree was in biblical studies and specifically biblical languages. However, when I began my teaching ministry I felt led by God to meet a more urgent need, biblical interpretation methodology, and I devoted myself to that discipline. Now that I am retired I finally have time to go back to that early ambition of making a contribution in the area of biblical languages. In Hebrew Grammar Gold I seek to identify the ways that Old Testament Hebrew expresses emphasis. My goal is to enable students of the Old Testament to recognize what is emphasized in the Hebrew text so that their study of the Old Testament can be enriched. This guide is not comprehensive, but it does represent a lifetime of study of the ways Old Testament Hebrew expresses emphasis. It is my earnest desire that you will benefit from my study of ways that Hebrew expresses emphasis and use it productively in your own interpretation of the Old Testament.
