The aim of this book is to give students of
Hebrew a fair preparation for constructing easy sen-
tences, and chiefly to acquire the fundamental rules
of the Hebrew grammar.
At the hegin;ning of every lesson, some rules of
grammar are inserted, so that students may become
familiar with them before they start with their prac-
tical work. These rules are expressed in an easy and
precise language, and any one familiar with the terms
of grammar will be able to understand them without
the aid of a teacher.
The words in the vocabularies and the senten-
ces in the exercises are selected mostly from those
words and phrases used in every day discourse, in
order to make them agreeable to a student. of mi-
nor age.
The introduction is prepared mainly for an adult
student who is not as yet familiar with the alphabet
and the rudimental rules of reading and pronunciation.
I am greatly indebted to Mr. H. Malachow
and to my friend Mr. B. N. Silk for their valuable
suggestions made from time to time.
New York, October 2, 1907.

When two nouns are closely connected, the first
is S&ld to oo in the C<Jnstruct Stat1 (nio~~p), and the se-
cond in the Po1111siv1 t.:a11, as: ~ji":t i~ the garden of my
uncle, or my uncle's garden.
The noun in the construct state drops the article,
and remains either unchanged or undergoes a change in
its vowel, as:
