Our OT3 Hebrew exegetical classes on Ezekiel are a revelation (literally).

The lecturer is one of the gems of college, Barry Webb, who is an internationally renowned biblical scholar and all round nice guy.

Today we went round the class translating a phrase at a time of Ezek 2:3-7, which was fun and instructive, if a bit intimidating. Throughout the whole lecture I understood everything Barry said, and I could see it in the text. His pace is deliberate and appropriate for our level, and he’s teaching us how to do OT exegesis as we go.

Studying the Old Testament in Hebrew can sometimes be a bit like walking around your home in the dark at 3am - you can’t really make anything out and you just want to do as little damage as possible.

This is different.
