This books goes over all the English rules you slept thru in class.

Incredibly Helpful with a Learning Curve
Gesenius is a standard for a reason. Using this book has greatly improved my understanding of biblical Hebrew and has given me a lot more insight on the subtleties of Hebrew grammar. Compared to other grammars I’ve used, this is the most thorough and in-depth.It can take work to learn how to use the book’s multiple indexes, but it is worth the time and effort.

It came faster than I expected
Doing an online Biblical Hebrew course now, this is one of the affordable choice for a Hebrew Grammar book. But time, effort and help is needed to navigate through it, so probably only suitable for those who have already known a bit Hebrew grammar. It goes quite well with the BDB lexicon.

Seminary Textbook
This is the grammar we used in Seminary, and I detested it then. But, now that I’m older and reading it for pleasure and not for a grade, I realize just how well this book is written, how well it is organized, and just what a gem it is. If you have a ‘working’ knowledge of Hebrew and want to know a more, this book will help you. If you are a Hebrew scholar and want to have a reference tool, this book is excellent. The only person who shouldn’t buy this book is that person who is just starting to learn Hebrew. There are other resources available for the beginning student — you should wait until you have a ‘decent’ knowledge of Hebrew before you get this book. But, if you want to continue your studies and get one of the best grammar references available, this is it.Peace Profound,Neshamah
