Hi Barry,

 

Well, the one I would suggest is the one by Weingreen . . . Barry, Barry, stop hitting me, put down that shotgun!

 

Actually, for all its faults, I still prefer Weingreen on account of the order of presentation.

 

However, there is a new text just out by John Cook and Robert Holmstedt, Beginning Biblical Hebrew: A Grammar and Illustrated Reader, which has gotten some rave reviews from some top-notch scholars.  So you might want to look at it.  You can get a little bit of a preview of it at Amazon.  You can also download a draft copy at

Blessings,
