matt,
I can appreciate your sentiments and goals, but the business about
modern hebrew also has me worried, with Bryan. they aren't the same
languages at all. some of my students struggle terribly, having been
exposed to modern hebrew. the syntax and verbal semantics are quite a
bit different, some vocabulary is subtly different (cf Muraoka, Modern
Hebrew for Biblical Scholars).

on the other hand, biblical scholars having to do some time in a
linguistics department sounded good. ;-) 

cheers
