Dr. Nathan Parker Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 This semester in Hebrew, I am needing to be able to read, understand, and make decisions on notes in the BHS apparatus. I am struggling with it a little bit. Can someone give me a rundown of how I can better read and understand the notes in the BHS apparatus? I'll give you an example from a lesson I already submitted: I needed to compare some of the apparatus notes in 2 Samuel 11:1-10. I read them and mentioned them in my assignment, but I struggled a little with understanding what the notes meant and how to make textual decisions with them. A screencast overviewing it would be extremely helpful as well. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Bennett Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Do you already have A Simplified Guide to BHS? If so, start there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fabian Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Working on a webinar for this now. :-) I'll try to use your passage as an example. I was sure, you guys will do an Accordance Blockbuster. From Dr. J. or so ... But a Webinare is more than I have expected ... Greetings Fabian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Nathan Parker Posted October 16, 2015 Author Share Posted October 16, 2015 Thanks for the feedback everyone! I do have the Simplified Guide to the BHS. It helped somewhat, but I'm still having issues. Mark: Do you think the webinar will be ready even for a "trial run" next Monday or Tuesday? I would definitely join in it even if you need to "polish" it up later for future webinars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Pyles Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Hi Nathan, Can you be a bit more specific about what you need help with? I'm going over textual criticism with my first year Hebrew students this week, so on the one hand I may have some material readily available, and on the other hand, the questions you have might help me know what questions they may have but aren't asking. How much help do you need with "reading" the apparatus? And how much of it relates to how to make sense of what the apparatus says after reading it, or making a decision based on the information it gives you? Cheers, Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
