WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING AT
A longer word follows the same direction
A longer Hebrew word is not read differently from a short one. Begin with the letter on the right and continue left through each written letter. You do not need to understand every part of בְּרֵאשִׁית yet. This word will return later when you learn vowels, attached letters, dictionary forms, and Biblical Hebrew sentence structure.
