An Introduction.

Many years ago, back in the days when I was in Seminary, I picked up an Interlinear Hebrew-English Psalter. It’s one of the best purchases I’ve ever made. It’s a small, slim volume, a 1974 Zondervan reprint of a much older edition published by Samuel Bagster & Sons Ltd. in London. The correct title is: The Interlineary Hebrew and English Psalter in which The Construction of Every Word is Indicated, and the Root of Each Distinguished by the Use of Hollow or Other Types.

I liked the little book immediately, because it is printed in a way that clearly indicated the Hebrew roots and constructions. I knew immediately that I’d made a good purchase. But, it was many years before I actually put it to any regular use. Somewhere, some time, I learned to use the Psalms as my Prayer Book.
