Introduction to Biblical Hebrew

Introduction to Biblical Hebrew by Lambdin, Thomas O.. Hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780023673504.

The choice of vocabulary and grammar, in this book, is essentially an introduction to the prose, not the poetical language. Generous use of transliteration is meant to serve three purposes: it enables the reader to perceive Hebrew as a language and not an exercise in decipherment, it removes the obstacles to mastering innumerable pages of abstract phonological and orthographic details, and facilitate the memorization of the paradigms.
