📖
Read and translate the entire first chapter of Genesis, straight from the original Hebrew text
For my readers and students đź’›
From the book to the Bible — let’s read Genesis together!
You built a real foundation with my book, Learn to Read Hebrew in 6 Weeks, and Genesis is where it all comes alive! In 8 fascinating weeks, you’ll read and translate the very first chapter of the original Hebrew Bible, בְּרֵאשִׁית (B-Reh’SHeeYT — “in the beginning”), all by yourself.
Genesis builds right on top of your book! Using the letters you already know, you’re reading real words of Genesis from your very first lesson, so the skills you built get reinforced and brought to life, while you go far beyond them, all the way to translating whole verses for yourself. Everything you worked for in the book pays off right here :)
Here's what you'll be able to do (yes, really!)
🗣️
Go beyond just sounding words out — understand what the Hebrew really means

How it works
Step 1
You're reading AND understanding from Lesson 1!
You already know the letters, so we put them straight to work on real Scripture. From your very first lesson you read בְּרֵאשִׁית (B-Reh'SHeeYT — “in the beginning”), then בָּרָא (BahRah' — “created”), and I show you exactly what each word means as you build the very first verse of the Bible, word by word!
Step 2
A method that actually sticks.
You hear every word pronounced, practice on a simple worksheet, and lock it in with a short quiz. This is the structure that turns “I can sound it out but I have no idea what it means” into “wait, I just TRANSLATED that!”
Step 3
Memory tricks that do the remembering for you.
The very tricks that have carried tens of thousands of students from “I'll never learn this” to reading and understanding real Hebrew.
Step 4
Go at exactly your pace!
The course is laid out as 8 weeks of short lessons, two a week, so it never feels like too much. But it's completely self-paced with lifetime access, so fly through it in a few sittings or take a whole year. YOU are in charge :)
