Tips for Reading

1. Pick a time limitsay, 30 minutes a dayand do just enough to get through that days reading. Dont be a perfectionist. Press on even if you dont understand every Hebrew construction or nuance. 2. Read Every Day. It is very hard to catch up when you're behind. Only use your o-days in a pinch. 3. Don't use your Bible software as your primary reading text, since your long term goal is to be able to read the Hebrew OT without crutches. 4. Read the Hebrew out loud. Hearing the words will improve your comprehension and retention. It encourages you to slow down and take in the meaning one word at a time. 5. Keep a notebook and write down your exegetical and homiletical observations, or ag any issues that you would like to explore in the future. 6. If you are using the Reader's Edition, you will not need to look up much vocabulary, since this is provided in the footnotes. But it is still a good exercise to look up words in HALOT or Holladay from time to time. 7. Attempt a wooden translation in your head for each verse. A wooden translation ought to follow the word order and grammatical structure of the Hebrew/Aramaic as closely as possible. 8. Try not to consult an English version too quickly when you encounter diculty. Nevertheless, the contemporary English versions are useful for pointing you in the right direction when you're stuck. 9. We will be translating about 15 pages a week. days are more intense than others. at's about 3 pages a day. Some

10. If at any point you get behind, don't try to catchup. Just start that day's reading and go from there. If you have time to go back and read, then you are encouraged to do so; otherwise, save it for next time you go through this plan. Also, if you only want to attempt a little Hebrew yet stay with the schedule, then what you don't read in Hebrew read in an appropriate translation.
