A Modern Grammar for Biblical Hebrew and its accompanying materials are designed for a two-semester course of study. The textbook’s structure, however, is intentionally set up to allow maximal use in both traditional and non-traditional academic settings. The format of the material gives instructors numerous options for customizing their syllabi.
theWord Features
Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia (BHS) is known to be the definitive edition of the Hebrew Bible. It is widely regarded as a reliable edition of the Hebrew and Aramaic scriptures and is the most widely used original-language edition among scholars.
theWord Features:
The NET Bible is a powerful new translation of the Bible (having 58,504 translators’ notes by experts in the original biblical languages). When you combine theWord Bible software program with this Bible, you can easily see the translator’s many notes by simply mousing over the translator’s note’s number, and the actual text will pop up.
These translator’s notes are an excellent commentary for Bible students knowing Greek and Hebrew in that they point out the original words, how their underlying forms (grammatical structure) affects the translation of the verse. But at the same time, while this highly technical information is available for the experienced scholar, it is also very clear and understandable for the common Bible student as far as what it means. For example, the moods and tenses of Greek verbs often have comments when they reflect on the meaning of the text. This is very helpful and insightful to common Bible student.
This is an updated version 2 of this work. It also adds Strong’s numbers to the text.

‘Vocabulary of the Greek Testament: Student Edition’ (VGNTS) is an update/revision by Allan Loder of Moulton’s and Milligan’s ‘VGNT’ published 1924-1930. It is based on the 1929 print edition — which is now in the public domain — along with some supplemental material from the 1930 edition. However, this is not merely an electronic reproduction of Moulton’s and Milligan’s book. Rather, it is a major update/revision designed to make this valuable resource more accessible to a wider English-speaking audience — especially those whose knowledge of the Biblical languages is very basic, “rusty,” or non-existent.
Each lexical entry is keyed to Strong’s numbers, has a transliteration and an English gloss.
There are over 937 new entries, not covered in the original print edition
New source materials are added to existing lexical entries, where available and deemed helpful.
There are over 500 cross-references to other related lexical entries within the module
Inline English translations are provided for all Greek text, as well as for most Hebrew, Aramaic, Syriac, Latin, French and German text. A transliteration of some text is also provided, where deemed helpful.
Pertinent information, such as units of measure, currency, names of Egyptian months, official titles, etc., is provided and hyperlinked.

An overview of the module from inside theWORD
In his final letter to his foremost disciple, the apostle Paul made this solemn appeal: “Be diligent to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who doesn’t need to be ashamed, correctly teaching the word of truth” (2 Tim 2:15). The message is clear: Timothy (and, by implication, all teachers of God’s Word) must work hard to arrive at a correct interpretation of any given passage of Scripture. Such careful attention to correctly interpreting Scripture was to set Timothy apart from false teachers such as Hymenaeus and Philetus (2 Tim 2:17). Since the NT was written in Greek, and since inerrancy and inspiration extend specifically to the Scriptures in the autographs (original manuscripts), a good working knowledge of NT Greek greatly enhances one’s interpretive skill.
In this book, we hope to stir in you a passion, and to provide you with the necessary tools, to “go deeper” in your pursuit of your mastery of NT Greek. You’ve taken a course or two in elementary Greek, or perhaps taught yourself by using some of the many helpful tools that are available. You’ve memorized the most common Greek vocabulary, learned the basic forms of the Greek noun, adjective, and verb, studied foundational principles of Greek syntax, and tried your hand at translating NT texts of increasing difficulty. But you know that you’ve got more to learn. We want to help you take your knowledge of NT Greek to the next level, not as an end in itself but as a means to correctly interpreting and teaching God’s Word. So are you ready? Let us take a moment to get oriented, and then we’ll be off and running in our quest to “go deeper” with NT Greek.

WITH BRIEF NOTICES OF THE TRANSLATORS.
BY J. M. FREEMAN, D.D.
“Believers should ascertain for themselves the matters of their faith by having the Scriptures in a language which they fully understand.”—Wycliffe.
“If God spare my life, ere many years I will cause a boy that driveth the plow to know more of the Scriptures than the priests do.”—Tyndale.
theWord Features:
If you are a student who has been assigned this textbook, it is our prayer that it will help instill in you a passion for reading the Greek New Testament. After all, what is more exciting than reading the very words that God inspired? Our advice to you at this point is to follow carefully your instructor’s advice. If you are using this book for self-study, start each chapter by watching its brief overview video via the web links provided. After that, read the chapter, study the material, and test your mastery by doing the practice exercises at the end of the chapter. Answers to the exercises are found at the back of the book. Additional free materials are available for you at beginninggreek.com.
We wish we could also provide you with dozens of inspiring quotes or stories, advice on study habits, and many effective memory techniques. In fact, we do provide such a “personal trainer in paperback” for your Greek journey in our volume, Greek for Life: Strategies for Learning, Retaining, and Reviving New Testament Greek (Baker, 2017). We encourage you to read that volume along with this one.
Here we turn to address a broader audience—especially the professors who might adopt this textbook for classroom use. “There is no end to the making of many books” (Eccl 12:12). The biblical sage’s observation is especially true of New Testament Greek grammars penned in English. More than 100 introductory Greek grammars have been published in the last century. Why one more?
Though not original to our grammar, we also think the following features help increase its pedagogical effectiveness:
We love seeing students ablaze with a passion to read, understand, believe, obey, enjoy, and teach the Greek New Testament. It is our prayer and hope that this textbook aids in igniting that fire in many hearts.
