A Primer of Biblical Hebrew Poetry Video Lectures, taught by David Emmanuel, is an essential language resource for understanding Hebrew poetry in the Hebrew Bible. This series describes the range of poetic techniques employed by biblical poets, encompassing all poetic texts and using examples, including from the psalms, wisdom and prophetic literature, and poetic lines embedded within Hebrew prose.

This video series is organized into five main sections, beginning with a robust introduction on the idea of Hebrew poetry and where it is dispensed throughout the Hebrew Bible. The lessons that follow address Masoretic, lexical, and morphological features, structural poetics, and specific Hebrew poetics. Finally, the series concludes with a bonus session on guidelines for doing your own poetic analysis of a text in the Hebrew Bible.

A Primer of Biblical Hebrew Poetry Video Lectures, together with the accompanying textbook A Primer of Biblical Hebrew Poetry, is intended for upper-level undergraduate students and seminary students who have already begun learning the Hebrew language. Emanuel's clear explanations and examples are intended to support learning on Hebrew poetry, whether through reading or book studies.
