In the years since Basics of Biblical Hebrew has been out, it is by far the best-selling introductory Hebrew grammar. The authors have been responsive to the feedback they have received from Hebrew professors and have made significant adjustments to the chapters on the waw conversive and the imperative in order to reflect recent scholarship. They have also fine-tuned many other elements throughout the grammar.
