Read the Bible in its own words.
Two language tracks and a set of study skills. Hebrew first — consonants, vowels, then Genesis itself, computed from the Westminster Leningrad Codex. Greek second — the alphabet, then John 1. And the skills that make the languages worth having: how to study, how to build frameworks, how to memorize. Nothing here is estimated.
Want the guided path? 30 Days in Genesis 1 is a Hebrew devotional built on this reader — one verse, one word, one insight, and one devotion a day, from bereshit to Shabbat. $29, instant PDF.

362 words gets you five chapters. And notice chapter 5 — it adds only 27 new words across 365. It's the genealogy from Adam to Noah, the same formula ten times over. It's the best confidence chapter in the Bible: you'll read the whole thing and understand nearly all of it.
