Read the Hebrew Bible slowly, carefully, and in context.
Work through selected biblical texts in Hebrew with close attention to grammar, syntax, vocabulary, translation, literary genre, historical context, intertextual connections, and interpretation.

Grammar and syntax
Vocabulary and semantic range
Translation choices
Literary structure and genre
Poetry and prophetic language
Historical and literary context
Intertextual connections
Exegetical and interpretive questions
