The books immerse the reader in the biblical texts in order to build confidence reading these languages as quickly as possible. To achieve this, all uncommon words that occur fewer than 80 times in the Hebrew Bible, or 30 times in the Greek New Testament are glossed as footnotes. This enables the beginner or intermediate student to continue reading every passage unhindered. Therefore, the series complements traditional language grammars and is especially ideal for beginner and intermediate students learning to read Koine (New Testament) Greek, Biblical Hebrew, and Aramaic. However, even advanced readers will appreciate the glossing of the rare words, since it saves time reading the text. In addition, unlike other readers, the individual books in this series are small and light, so very easy to carry around and a pleasure to read.
Samaritan Pentateuch Reader with Critical Apparatus
This Samaritan Pentateuch editions highlight every change against the Masoretic Text using underlines with footnoted differences, bold font for plusses, and an apparatus for minuses against the MT. It uniquely presents the whole text and appendices in Samaritan Script.
This unique series contains Aramaic targums with the Hebrew Masoretic Text on the facing pages. This enables the reader who already knows Hebrew to continue reading Aramaic targums unhindered. This method of facing translations perhaps reflects the reverse process of how Jews in antiquity would have learned Hebrew from facing Aramaic translations.
