This is a truly remarkable Hebrew - English interlinear bible of the Old Testament from Biblos, which will be a total blessing to anyone interested in a deeper study of the Hebrew bible. It would be difficult for anyone who does not design websites to appreciate how much effort and work must have gone in to produce it. There is the Hebrew script of each word, with diacritical marks for those who understand their importance, and an English translation of each word below. Above each Hebrew word there is a transliteration which helps people to pronounce the Hebrew word, and linked to each transliterated word there is a page which gives a list of other places where the same word is used in the bible, together with translations from NAS, KJV, and the Interlinear Bible. Above each transliterated word there is a Strong's Number for the Hebrew word, and this is linked to a page which gives definitions of the word from Strong's Concordance, the NAS Exhaustive Concordance, and the Brown, Driver Briggs - Gesenius Hebrew English Lexicon. You can click directly to any chapter of this interlinear from the links below.

Such a version of the Hebrew Bible may seem very attractive to beginning students (and even some intermediate students as well). This is because beginning students will likely have a limited Biblical Hebrew vocabulary, difficulty identifying irregular verb forms, and a lack of experience in dealing with the peculiarities of Hebrew grammar.

In fact, for beginners, reading the Bible in Hebrew may seem like a daunting task. This task seems easier when a student has an interlinear bible right in front of her that includes an English translation of every single Hebrew word.

Some people will say that they find they can translate the Bible more quickly using an interlinear, but this is almost never the case. Instead, they are usually simply reading the translation that someone else has provided.

If you try to learn Biblical Hebrew from an interlinear bible, at some point you will likely open up a text in Hebrew without an English translation and have extreme difficulty translating it on your own. You also will probably never progress to the point where you can read the Hebrew Bible without turning to English translations.

If you are still convinced that you would like to buy an interlinear Hebrew bible, information can be found by clicking on the image below.However, do be aware that there are several good alternatives to interlinear bibles which can help you to learn Biblical Hebrew and read the Bible in Hebrew at the same time.
