The Hebrew Students Commentary On Zechariah PDF Download

Excerpt from The Hebrew Student's Commentary on Zechariah: Hebrew and LXX; With Excursus on Syllable-Dividing, Metheg, Initial Dagesh, and Siman Rapheh Since the founding of the Theological Tripos Examiners have frequently complained, that the Candidates for it do not, as a rule, take pains to acquire an accurate knowledge of even the Elements of the Sacred Tongue. This has been, doubtless, in great measure the fault of the Curriculum, to the requirements of which they have been obliged to conform their studies. We have every reason to hope that from the inauguration of the New Regulations for that Tripos will date a new era in the Hebrew scholarship of the University, and that the Theological Tripos will thenceforth send forth into the world scholars as sound in their knowledge of the Elements of Hebrew as did the 'Voluntary Examination' which it superseded. This Student's Commentary has been written with a view to aiding this New Scheme of Theological Studies. The plan of it is as follows: Words and sentences are treated from a purely grammatical point of view, and in so doing no difficulties have been wittingly avoided, but, rather, some have at times been intentionally raised, when by so doing an opportunity has been afforded of explaining some of the minutiae of Hebrew Syntax. Unpointed Hebrew, and Transliteration, have been freely used from considerations of economy. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
