This handbook in the Baylor Handbook on the Hebrew Bible series provides students of Hebrew with the translation of Genesis 37-50 paired with an exhaustive word by word morphological analysis of the text. Baker and Riley perform a syntactical investigation on one of the most commonly known biblical books. Genesis 37-50 enables a linguistic understanding of the Old Testament Hebrew text through solid contextual interpretation.
David W. Baker is Professor of Old Testament and Semitic Languages at Ashland Theological Seminary.
Jason A. Riley is a Ph.D. candidate at Fuller Theological Seminary.
It is a gift to teachers and intermediate readers of biblical Hebrew to have an analysis of Genesis 37-50, one of the most fascinating sections of biblical narrative. Baker and Riley not only elucidate the text verse by verse, but they also provide a lucid and helpful introduction.
