Biblical Hebrew Vocabulary

Fri, 29 Jul 2011 04:36:49 +0000

The Biblical Hebrew Vocabulary App is designed to help students study and review the 600 most frequent words in the Hebrew Bible. The top 600 words are divided into sets of 25 which can be mixed and matched to create a single list. Once a list is created, students click through the words individually, reveal the English translation, and move to the next word. If they incorrectly identify the Hebrew word, students can choose to send the word to a sub-list for further review.

In addition to the top 600 words in the Hebrew Bible, lesson lists are available that correspond with Thomas O. Lambdin's Introduction to Biblical Hebrew textbook.

The Biblical Hebrew Vocabulary app was designed by Geri Clements, a Biblical Hebrew Instructor at Brigham Young University and a M.S. student in Instructional Psychology & Technology, as a way for her students to always have their vocabulary lists with them no matter where they go. Waiting in lines and waiting for friends can now be leveraged into Biblical Hebrew study time! Just think of the possibilities...

Recent changes:
1.08 - Fixed a bug where adding a word to a review list more than once would cause the app to hang.

1.07 - Added a Previous Word button so you can now navigate forward and backward through a set of flash cards. Fixed typos on a few words.

Would you like to be notified whenever there's news about your favorite sports team or celebrity? How about news that affects your career, your community, or your school? My News Alerts will follow the news for you and let you know when a story you care about is published. My News Alerts lets you define a set of news-scanning rules. Each rule consists of:

1. A source. Choose from one of the pre-configured sources such as CNN, Fox News, People Magazine, ESPN, Car and Driver, Engadget, and many more, or add your own source. My News Alerts can monitor any web site or blog with an RSS feed.

2. One or more keywords to watch for

3. Alert type: play a sound, vibrate, flash your phone’s notification light, and/or display an icon and message on your phone or tablet’s status bar. You choose the alert type that best fits your lifestyle.

Whenever a new story appears that contains your chosen keywords, My News Alerts will let you know. Since you may not want to keep up-to-date 24/7, you can configure My News Alerts to not bother you at night or on weekends. My News Alerts has been carefully designed to minimize impact on your phone’s battery life. It runs on Android phones, tablets, and Google TV devices.
