Title: A great introduction to the history of the language for the Layman
Review: Writen over 30 years ago Horowitz's book is still a minor classic.Surely there is no better introduction to the long history of the holy tounge for the English speaker with a good working knowlege of Hebrew.Althogh writen for schoools the book is suitable for those who long left Hebrew school or "Heder"We are introduced to some basic principles of the semitic languages then countless examples are given from both modern and biblical Hebrew.Horowitz's book is not a leaned scientific study... but its an informative read for anyone who loves the Hebrew language whether he uses it at study , prayer as as his everyday language.
