From the beginning of time, the Torah (literally, God’s “instruction”) has provided a window for man to look into the heart and mind of his Creator. Historically, the word Torah has been used to refer to the first five books of the Bible (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy). But Torah isn’t limited to just five books; it encompasses the entirety of God’s divine instruction throughout the “Old Testament.” Unfortunately, when most people hear the word Torah they immediately think “law,” which evokes a negative response. But God’s instruction leads to life! Let us help you learn what God’s Torah really is and what it actually says. We want you to experience the Torah as God’s eternal instruction and revelation for humanity. When you encounter His word, His will, and His way from a truly Torah-oriented perspective, it will enrich and change your life forever!

Welcome to level 2 of the Scripture Bytes Biblical Hebrew Audio Course! If you have not gone through level one we are requesting—okay, requiring—that at a minimum you complete the bonus test at the end of lesson 7 of that course.
We are going to continue our study with Jonah 1:8. This time we will take a deeper approach to each individual word, and yours truly will have to take a more active role in the audio teaching. In level one we used much more written material than we will use in this level. We needed
In this lesson we will continue to analyze the text of Jonah 1:8, byte by byte, to see what we can uncover. Remember, we are focusing on the quality of understanding rather than the quantity of new material.
