States the Author: “I have with great precision pointed the Hebrew, so that by its explanation in English and Spanish, they will improve in the Holy Language, comprehend its true meaning, and encrease in the knowledge of God’s holy word, whereas at present that is not the case with many who read Hebrew.” Bears the Haskamah of Moses Cohen de Azevedo (c. 1720-1784), Haham of the Spanish and Portuguese congregation of London, who writes that the book will be of great utility and benefit to students in their attempt to master the Holy Tongue.
