Today we are highlighting one of our decks available for purchase for Babel Flashcards: our complete deck of Biblical Hebrew flashcards, entitled Biblical Hebrew (CBHAG). With the glosses produced by a Biblical Hebrew and Semitic philologist and proofed by Miklal and others, there are several distinctive characteristics of the glosses for these Biblical Hebrew lexemes that together make them the highest quality glosses ever produced for Biblical Hebrew. Here are some of their characteristics:
- They contain glosses for every single Hebrew lexeme (word) in the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament, over 8000 in all.
- They integrate contemporary definitions with traditional interpretations of all Hebrew and Aramaic Lexemes, making use of the finest lexicographic research in Biblical Hebrew.
- They list definitions in order of descending frequency (the most frequent definition is first).
- They align proper names with the spelling of most current English Bible translations.
- They update archaic meanings to modern norms of language.
- They provide glosses for all verbal stems in which that verb appears in the Bible: no more, no fewer.
- They provide separate glosses for all homonyms.
In addition, Babel Flashcards gives you unparalleled ways of memorizing these glosses rapidly. Choosing the precise set of words you want to study is easy, whether you want to learn frequently occurring words, words of a given part of speech, words in particular passage, some combination thereof, or any other combination or words you wish. Babel Flashcards makes use of the Leitner method of spaced repetition to enable you to learn as quickly and effortlessly as possible. Whether you are on a PC or on Mac, Babel Flashcards always displays the Hebrew beautifully.
Have you noticed that verbs in Hebrew (and other Semitic languages) take longer to learn than nouns and adjectives? Babel Flashcards helps you learn Biblical Hebrew verbs via the following distinctive (optional) features.
- Glosses are split up by verbal stem and displayed in different parts of the screen.
- Glosses for verbal stems in which that particular verb occurs frequently are displayed darker than glosses for verbal stems in which that particular verb occurs infrequently, causing your eye to be drawn naturally to glosses for commonly occurring verbal stems.
- Glosses can be hidden for verbal stems in which that particular verb occurs infrequently. You have control over the setting, allowing you to concentrate on glosses for the common verbal stems for a given verb.
