Not the most comprehensive, but a joy to read.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
This book really is a great book to read. It is short enough and easy enough to understand that one could read all the way through it. This book is easy to search through and the type is big enough to make reading easy. This book is also more affordable than most of the other books of this type. If you don't have much of a budget, get this book. Waltke's grammar is probably better (certainly more comprehensive), but cost about 4x as much.
Cheap, Excellent Syntax book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
Students of any language will know, its one thing to know the different parts of a language - verbs and nouns, but quite another to put them together. This great little book does just that, and does it logically with good clear examples, in an often under-studied field. Syntax is usually left at the end when everyone has learnt all the other pieces and to put them together. However, this approach can mislead one to believe one understands how Hebrew and the language work. This book teaches by example and shows carefully how a particular part of speech is utilised in the actual text. It is cheap and is very useful. I would have given it a five-star rating, but the text-quality is poor, and the Hebrew is sometimes difficult to read in the old-typewriter style of print. All the Hebrew is translated.
a good quick reference
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
This is just an outline and provides succinct explinations of various aspekts of Hebrew syntax. It's a great quick reference and a nice supplement to Waltke O'Connor, which you can browse if you want to do more in-depth study. Plus W/O is HUGE and HEAVY and NOT FUN to carry around all the time. Williams is only 122 pages, so it's much more portable!! It's a great resource! It's not meant to be a W/O, so it shouldn't be compared to it that way. It's almost a "must have."
Delightful!

This gem is easy on the wallet, unintimidating and useful. After you've struggled through some Hebrew Bible passages and consulted this and other reference grammars, read this one cover-to-cover and then you'll have an easier time reading the others.
A good, inexpensive reference work
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
Reference work and inexpensive are seldom found together when speaking of quality materials on Biblical Hebrew, but Williams' work is well worthy of such a title. This short paperback covers the syntax of nouns, verbs, particles and clauses, discussing the basic syntactical functions of each. The examples, though sometimes unclear, are sufficient, and specific Scripture passages can be referenced with the index provided in the back. Perhaps of greatest practical value in this work is the index of particles and prepositions located on the last page. It is difficult to find a good discussion of particles and prepositions outside of major reference grammars, so this is a welcome addition.
