 The student of Hebrew need master a vocabulary of less than
800 words to have learned all the verbs occurring twenty-five
times or more and all other words used more than fifty times in the
Hebrew Old Testament. These lists are taken from W. R. Harper's
Hebrew Vocabularies (1890) which has been revised and corrected
in comparison with Kohler-Baumgartner, Lexicon in Veteris
Testamenti Libras (Leiden, 1953).
The author has used these lists in mimeographed form for
more than five years in teaching elementary Hebrew to theological
Copyr(f{ht 1960 by E. J. Brill, Leiden, Netherlands students. In addition to the vocabulary found in a beginner's
All rights reserved. No part of this book may be reproduced or grammar the students were given weekly assignments of twenty­
five new words from these lists. The lists were also used for regular
translated in any form, by print, pllOtoprint, microfilm or any other
vocabulary drill and review.
mcans without written permission from the publisher. Where a verb OCCurs in only one stem, this is noted in the
Hebrew list. When a verb has different meanings in different
stems, this is noted in the English list. Nouns and adjectives from
First printing, 1959
the same root are listed together so that the student may learn
to distinguish them immediately.
Reprinted. August 1992 Words are arranged according to the frequency of their occur­
rence. After learning the first list of verbs, the student should
turn to list VI to learn the most common nouns. He should continue
to alternate between verbs and nouns until all the lists have been
learned.
