Also it is much easier to study partial Hebrew grammar without vowels and other niqqudot.
Start with reading [[Grammar:Tutorial|A tutorial for biblical Hebrew without vowels]]. It is quite simple. [[Grammar:Quick|This page]] contains a "quick sheet" for quickly identifying a grammar form having a Hebrew word.
This site follows the '''[[Project:Rules|rules]]''' and thus does not adhere to any particular religion or confession.
== The aim of this site ==
This site is created with a pretentious [[Project:BibleWiki| purpose to collect all possible translations and all commentaries for the entire Old TestamentHebrew Bible]].
== Technical features of this site ==
Every word is hyperlinked. Clicking the word you come to the page which is intended to contain the grammar of this word (without vowels). The grammar concerns the declined form of the word, not its primary form. (You are however free to create a page for the primary form of the word and interlink the pages with the primary and declined forms.)
The text of Tanakh is divided into fragments (so called ''parashot'') with || markers (denoting so called Pe-marks) and into smaller fragment with | (so called Samekh marks). If you do some translation of a Tanakh fragment please click the link ''Exegesis'' and edit that page to insert your translation.
When editing a wiki page, to enter a Hebrew word with a reference to our without-vowels dictionary, click the "Aleph" icon in the editor toolbar and enter the word. Alternatively you may select a non-hyperlinked Hebrew word and click "Aleph" in toolbar in order to turn this Hebrew word into a hyperlink to our dictionary.
See [http://withoutvowels.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3AAllPages&from=&to=&namespace=104 the list of translated verses].

== Support this project ==
== This is not "Bible code" ==
Many adherents to Jewish tradition would oppose reading Tanakh without vowels because they are adherents to the verbal tradition. Nevertheless many adherents of Jewish tradition accept Bible Code. That makes no sense to accept Bible Code but not to accept Without Vowels project, because if one accepts Bible Code then according to common sense he should also accept reading Tanakh without vowels.
