/ Biblical Hebrew is the language of two-thirds of the Bible. For centuries, knowledge of Hebrew and the other original languages of the Bible has been recognized to be indispensable for proper theological analysis of biblical texts. At St. Norbert College, you’ll learn Hebrew grammar and syntax, and gain deeper insight into the culture of biblical times, providing important context.
You can fulfill your core language requirement through the completion of Elementary Biblical Hebrew and Intermediate Biblical Hebrew. In addition, you may satisfy the language requirement by testing beyond the second-semester level on the college’s placement exam, or through alternative means approved by SNC.

This course introduces students to the language of the Hebrew Bible and the historical and theological methods that arise from studying the Hebrew Bible in its original language. No prior knowledge of Biblical Hebrew is assumed. The course begins by introducing the alphabet. By the end of the course students should be able to read many prose passages in the Hebrew Bible with relative ease and occasional recourse to the aid of a Hebrew-English lexicon. Fall semester, alternate years.
The course is a continuation of HEBR 101. Students are exposed to longer prose passages of the Hebrew Bible, further nuances of Hebrew syntax and the rudiments of Biblical poetry. Prerequisite: HEBR 101 or instructor’s consent. Spring semester, alternate years.
