Hebrew for the nations

Assisting Bible translators around the world in Hebrew knowledge

Hebrew for the Nations is an affiliated program of JCBT aimed to assist Bible translators around the world in Hebrew knowledge by sending Israelis abroad to provide local Biblical Hebrew courses.

Hebrew for the Nations is:

• Training Israelis in Biblical Hebrew and teaching methodologies.
• Identifying translation projects and teams that want to host Israeli teachers for one-month courses.
• Sending out teachers with the spiritual backing and prayer covering of their local Israeli congregations.
• Exposing local translators to Biblical culture and Israelis to their brothers and sisters in faith around the world.
