After launching the 14-episode Scripture Bytes video series we have had many people ask if BFA could provide a biblical Hebrew course. I have to admit it is not an easy request to fulfill. Yet at the same time I am convinced it is the right thing to do because it is in line with the BFA International mission: Inspiring people around the world to build a biblical foundation for their faith.
As we progress, you will learn consonants, vowels, and basic grammar, but only as they apply to reading the selected biblical passage. By the end of the first lesson you will have read and understood a biblical verse in Hebrew. Guaranteed!
This innovative approach to learning the basics of biblical Hebrew can revolutionize your biblical studies and give you unprecedented access to the language, history, and context of the most important written text on earth! That’s enough for the introduction. Let’s get started!
Oh, I almost forgot. In this first level of study we are going to be reading straight from the Hebrew text of the Book of Jonah. I created a very short video from ancient Joppa to give you a little visual context. Check it out!

I’ve made several on-line attempts to learn some basic Hebrew with very limited success.

Looking forward to this time in our Father’s tongue. Thank you for providing this soul food to us, as all your resources, it is a blessing!

Thank you Keith and the BFA team for making this available. I can read Hebrew slowly. I am learning to translate and understand as I go. This course will be a good help in my studies. I was raised in Church most of my life. I began studying Torah in about 2001 in my early 40’s. I got tired of people telling me what the Bible said and wanted to learn to read it for myself.
Shalom Aleichem, or as I often say Shalom I like ’em.

Keith I took this course from you a year or so ago. It was fantastic, I made more progress during that course than at any other. I was about to contact you to try to get you to do another ,even though I do realize how busy you are. Suddenly Yehovah opened my eyes to your Readers of The Book program and when my package arrived on my birthday , I just had to post it in dialogue under “roll call”. It made no sense but ,I was in the moment. By the way it was a long time ago, you may not remember ,I can’t say for sure which “pearl” it was , but you were telling Nehemia you desperately wanted your ” Sheni Pesach” , by the time he corrected you on the word order ,which you knew , I was rolling on the floor.
Shalom

I’m so excited I can’t hardly contain my excitement!!! 😉 Thank you BFA for all the time and hard work of putting such a project together like this. I’m so excited and I just can’t hide it! LOL ?

I am excited to get started. Thanks

The introduction pdf was a waste of time. There was only a short introduction. I would have liked to see or hear a sample of Jonah.
September 5, 2016 at 1:36 pm /
Thaddeus,
I hope you will consider continuing with the course and you will get much more on Jonah.
July 7, 2016 at 4:06 pm /
I am so totally lost.

Linda,
Once you begin the course things will make more sense. Just take one byte at a time :-). Feel free to ask questions as you progress.

Can not locate video you mentioned at end of intro to series 2. Great work thanks for doing this. I have learned more than I did in 3 years in class room…
January 7, 2016 at 4:37 am /
Where is the lesson? I see the words introduction, but there is no lesson. I have downloaded the pdf, but again. AYFO?

I love how YHVH works, yesterday I put a old cd teaching on learning Hebrew from another source (finally having a computer which could handle it). Last night as I listening to the Prophet Pearls #35, the ministry minute, praises went out too Our Father! Keith I have no doubt that your undated teaching can help me learn what YHVH believes I am ready for. Your ministry continues to Bless me, opening within me a continues hunger for all knowledge of YHVH. Thanks for being a wonderful source of inspiration and information. P.S. Karen is also a great person, who has helped me often. Blessing and Shalom

Keith, I just read my first Hebrew sentence yesterday, thanks to you. May you be blessed in every aspect of your life and ministry!
a couple of questions:
1) At the end of the first lesson, you encouraged us to put our name in the sentence, but how do I say daughter of rather than son of. Is it bat as in bat mitzvah? And if that is correct, what does it look like in the script we are studying?
2) I want my own Hebrew text to study now. Which one do you recommend I buy?
Again, Thank you so much!

I am thrilled to have this course to study. I too would love a MP3 or iTunes version to help me study. I use an electronic tablet as my internet device.
T raveling these past two weeks and grandchildren have slowed my personal study time however study will resume next week. Thank you so much for providing this opportunity this has been a prayerful request of mine for some time. What a blessing!!!!!
June 2, 2015 at 10:19 am /
Thank you Keith it has been a great blessing to me look forward to the MP3 downloadable version
June 1, 2015 at 8:22 pm /
Keith I have been waiting for something like this for a long time. You did an awesome job and I can’t wait for the next lesson. Thank you.

Shalom Keith, Thanks i appreciate and I’ve shared this with my congregation, it has been my prayer that I polish up my Hebrew. Yehovah Bless!

Hello Keith
I’m excited about the course, but joining the cry for a downloadable (MP3) format for the audio lessons, please? You know our connection issues in the remote parts of the world..
Alternatively, could we order the full set of PDF and audio lessons by post?
June 1, 2015 at 9:54 am /
We are working on the downloadable audio. Hang in there with us!
May 31, 2015 at 9:59 pm /
Keith
Had a very hard time following along with the PDF. In fact I went thru it three times and never was able to follow along with what you were say. Where did I loose it??
Thanks

Thomas, thanks for trying this course. It is a process that will get much easier as we progress through the lessons. I promise.
May 30, 2015 at 10:22 am /
Thank you, Keith, for the devotion you poured into this. Would you be able to make these lessons downloadable, please. I find, that with my connection, the streaming files tend to get stuck and will only play for so long. If I download the file, It plays just fine. Thanks again.
May 29, 2015 at 10:00 pm /
Just wanted to let you know Keith that I tried to open the Biblical Hebrew Audio Course and I keep getting a message that it is an UNSAFE WEBSITE. Don’t know what is going on. Anyone else had that problem?
May 30, 2015 at 6:25 am /
Carol, this seems to be an issue on your end with your browser. Try a different browser. I ann looking forward to getting you feedback!
May 29, 2015 at 6:58 pm /
I just finished lesson 1. Lots of extra info I hadn’t learned through self-study. I found the study notes after a bit of searching. Giving kudos for putting this together-I know it is a big undertaking, but so rewarding to be able to search out the scriptures for yourself. Thanks & keep up the good work!

Hey Pam thanks for making the effort to start the course. For members of the Academy here is a quick link to Lesson 1. https://bfainternational.com/type/scripturebytes/
May 29, 2015 at 5:32 pm /
In the Academy, please go to the right of the page and click on Biblical Hebrew Audio Course (https://bfainternational.com/type/scripturebytes/). Scroll down past the Introduction and you will find Lesson 1, including study guide. Sorry for the confusion. Karen
May 29, 2015 at 5:05 pm /
I also can not locate lesson 1.
May 29, 2015 at 5:02 pm /
My phone is a 635 not 636.
May 29, 2015 at 5:01 pm /
I have a NOKIA 636 Windows 8 phone. Download Foxit Mobile PDF from the Windows Store and you should be able to read any PDF file. I like it a lot better than Adobe.
May 29, 2015 at 4:35 pm /
I am also having a problem finding the Lesson PDF, I only see a one page introduction text. Also, the audio would be much more valuable to me if I could download it and take it with me on my long commutes in New York City. As it Is I am stuck sitting in front of a computer, because it does not play on my Windows Phone.
May 30, 2015 at 6:29 am /
Emmanuel are you a registered member of the Academy? Take a look here https://bfainternational.com/type/scripturebytes/ You will see the PDF’s for the Introduction and Lesson 1. Please let us know if you have any other issues.
May 29, 2015 at 1:53 pm /
Congratulation Bro Keith, the Hebrew language key to the scriptures is a priceless gift… However, I seem to have a problem, as the lesson pdf does not appear on “download”, only the introduction to the course…
May 29, 2015 at 9:40 pm /
Hey Walter, I am glad you are checking this out. The PDF and Lesson 1 are right here for all registered members of the Academy. https://bfainternational.com/type/scripturebytes/
