Slow Reading Practice
The slow reading exercises below are designed to help you practice reading Hebrew words. Ideally, you should try to pronounce each word without help, and then listen to the correct pronunciation, and repeat the correct pronunciation. In addition to the reading, some of the videos have further teachings on the biblical texts. To simplify matters, I have primarily depended on the pronunciation used in Modern Hebrew today.
- Ezekiel 38:12 [Contains all the letters of the alphabet]
- Psalm 1
- Numbers 6:24-26
- Genesis 1:1-3
- Deuteronomy 6:4-9
