Love the style of writing and devotional insight!
This is an outstanding resource for students of biblical Hebrew.
If you went to seminary then buy this book!
I appreciate this devotional as a helpful way of practicing my Hebrew reading. The life application excerpts are not extensive, yet good. Some devotions are a hit and miss.
This is a much better book than its Greek counterpart, not because of comparing content but because of comparing goals and then whether they accomplished it or not. This has a twofold aim of encouraging “students and pastors to continue (or resume) using their Hebrew knowledge in their devotions and sermon preparations†(p.13) and also “to demonstrate that a knowledge of the original languages can and should be spiritually rewarding†(p.13). It is also stated that the authors’ hope and prayer “that readers would be drawn to a deeper love for, understanding of, and adherence to Scriptures and the God who gave them†(p.14). At the back cover, this book will inspire the reader to read and meditate on the Hebrew Scriptures and also find new treasures.There are 54 devotions with most of them about 2 ½ pages (one has 2 and one has 3 full pages). There are 38 contributors (29 men and 9 women) with sixteen (13 men and 3 women) of them writing two devotions each. All the books of the OT (devotions arranged in order of the Hebrew Bible) were covered at least once with Isaiah and Proverbs having four each and Psalms with 3 devotions plus some others (Genesis, Exodus, Deuteronomy, Joshua, 1 Samuel, Jeremiah and Zephaniah) with two each. The Hebrew texts alongside an English version (or translation) are shown before the devotions. This is a very helpful for I don’t use Hebrew as much as I do Greek and I need help to make sense of the passage, though I think that a transliteration of Hebrew might be better than a translation to help read the Hebrew text. There is a grammatical terms index and also a Hebrew words index. These indexes are helpful and page numbers of occurrence are listed. With the inclusion of YHWH in the word index, I think that all Hebrew words (root) used in the volume are included.It is indeed a good volume for it encouraged and challenged me to use (resume) my Hebrew in my devotions (or / and studies). Second, I have seen the benefit of the Hebrew. Just to give a few examples, in the discussion of singular “you†and plural “you†in Exo.20:4, I understood the significance of the singular (although I’m thinking it may be a collective use). In the discussion of Lev.18:4, the author demonstrated the importance of studying the Hebrew text than relying on the English translation for the English translated three verbs wherein the Hebrew text showed two verbs and an infinitive functioning as means (to accomplish the two verbs). Another example is the discussion of using lamed (with infinitive construct) in Proverbs 1:1-7 to indicate 5 purposes. I noticed it after reading the devotion (though the 5th purpose seemed lacking) and realized the accuracy of the 5 corresponding “for†in the NIV (also in HCSB; “to†in ESV; not clearly shown in my Tagalog Bible).The writing style of various contributors was varied. Some discussed their contributions by explaining the text (maybe with a little application at the end) and some wrote like a mini sermon with introduction and closing (with some varieties) and the body covered the discussion of Hebrew text. A few has end notes. Some presented their Hebrew discussion straight up what it means while some included explaining what is in the text (including lexical or grammatical options) and then the meaning of the text. Some are more helpful (with the Hebrew) than others. The discussions in Hebrew can be grammatical, lexical, literary (word play, assonance, etc. .) or just a fruit of Hebrew study (not showing the Hebrew itself) or a combination. A devotion in Proverbs 25:15 presented a meaning that contradicts the commentary of another contributor to this book.I would prefer that they included a variety of suggestions and tips how to read (and what to read) from these 38 scholars. I think that would be very beneficial to learn how they keep and improve their Hebrew language skills. Almost all contributors are professors (one is a former professor and currently a pastor) with a few involved in publishing or translation works. I think in future endeavors (second volume?), it would be good to include some pastors (who are primarily pastors) who are using their Hebrew in their sermon preparations.But with that said, overall, this is a great volume to invest in to encourage (and challenge) the reader to use Hebrew (with hard work) in studying the text that will yield benefits that cannot be determined from the English text alone.
It is common for those who have learned Hebrew to forget some of the vocab, syntax, and grammar. Hebrew is a big language, and it does take time and energy to keep it up! So I was excited to receive a review copy of "Devotions on the Hebrew Bible." I haven't read all 54 of these devotions, but I have read a good sample. I have to say I'm a bit disappointed. Here's why:1) The Hebrew font is super tiny. I'm not sure the exact font size, but it hurts my eyes (and I'm under 40!). I even had to look close to tell the difference between a nun (N) and a gimel (G). The tiny Hebrew font a major weakness of the book in my opinion.2) Each chapter has between one and five (sometimes more) verses in Hebrew with the English in a separate column. This is fine, but I very much wish there was more info on the vocab and parsing. The book doesn't really help for vocab, although some chapters do discuss a few vocab words of the verse. Also, for parsing I had to go to my Bible software for the tough/rare verbs. I wish there were more details about the Hebrew text!3) The devotionals are hit or miss. Sometimes the author makes a great point (e.g. Joel 2:13b-14a has notes that compare the text to Jonah 4:2); other times the application is a little cheesy and off-base (for example, on Gen. 15:6 there is no talk about justification - the author only mentions our faithfulness). In other words, not all of the devotionals are overly stimulating. In fact, one of them I read didn't really discuss the Hebrew text at all. This is a glaring weakness in a devotional to help keep up one's Hebrew!In summary, I think this devotional could be much better if 1) if the Hebrew font was a lot bigger, 2) it had more grammar, vocab, and syntax helps, and 3) the actual devotionals were better. I don't mean to be too harsh, but to be honest, I don't recommend it if you're looking for a book to help you keep your Hebrew.
