Elements of Hebrew Syntax: By An Inductive Method is a book written by William Rainey Harper and published in 1888. The book is a comprehensive guide to the syntax of the Hebrew language, presented through an inductive method. The author begins by introducing the basic principles of Hebrew grammar, including the structure of nouns, verbs, and adjectives, as well as the use of prepositions and conjunctions. He then proceeds to explain the more complex aspects of Hebrew syntax, such as the use of the definite and indefinite articles, the construction of complex sentences, and the use of idiomatic expressions. Throughout the book, the author provides numerous examples and exercises to help readers master the material. The book is intended for students of Hebrew who have already mastered the basics of the language and are looking to deepen their understanding of its syntax. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the study of Hebrew language and culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

It is commonly taught that the Syntax of Hebrew is a matter of small importance. Very seldom, indeed, is any special attention given to the subject. The grammars upon which American students have depended furnish exhaustive treatments of Etymology, Taut contain only a meagre amount of Syntax. It is because men have not studied Hebrew Syntax, because, as a matter of fact, they are ignorant of it, that they have failed to appreciate its value. It is true that the Hebrew is lacking in the power to present without ambiguity many of the exact and beautiful shades of thought for which expression is found in the Latin and the Greek.. It is true that the Hebrew is more dependent upon the context for the precise determination of the meaning than is either of these languages. It is all the more necessary, however, to become acquainted with the constructions which are possible in a given case. It will generally be conceded, that in no respect is the Revision of the Old Testament so weak as in its Syntax. One need only compare critically the translation of the tenses in the first ten or twelve Psalms, to discover the shortcomings of the Revision, and at the same time to understand the difficulty and importance of the subject. It may be said that, notwithstanding the lack of American grammars in this respect, the existence of such works as those of Driver, Ewald, and Muller renders the publication of a new treatment unnecessary. But it will be remembered that Driver, aside from his A ppendices, treats exclusively of the Tense, the most important of all syntactical subjects, yet a single subject; that Ewald swork, the only philosophical treatment of the subject, can only be appreciated by one who has given much time and attention to Hebrew Syntax; and that Midler sbook is brief, obscure, and unsatisfactory.
