I Translated Some Hebrew

I’m doing this project in 2011, where I try to re-acquire some of the Hebrew I’ve forgotten in the five years since seminary. This morning, I translated some narrative (the easiest kind) and I got through four whole verses in just thirty minutes. (Yay!) I had to guess at about half the word endings (is that feminine? maybe it’s first-person plural?) but I only had to punt on 3 verbs. I’ll look them up later.
