Welcome to this Course on The Ten Commandments in Hebrew. If you are interested in Hebrew, this is a highly recommended Course after you have completed the Genesis Reading Practice Course. Thus, once you know the Hebrew Alphabet and can read Hebrew at a reasonable speed, completing this Course is a wonderful next step.
In this self-contained Course, even if you have little or no grammatical background, and do not understand any Biblical Hebrew, you will learn to read and understand the Hebrew of The Ten Commandments in Exodus chapter 20. The Ten Commandments are relevant to all ages and all backgrounds (Jewish or Christian), and understanding The Ten Commandments in Hebrew will provide you with deeper and richer insights into God's Word in the original languages.
This Course also serves as an excellent introduction to learning further Biblical Hebrew grammar, as well as other more detailed and systematic courses in Biblical Hebrew.
