'''Become a Hebrew Bible translator!'''
It is much easier than you may think: I propose you to [[Grammar:Tutorial|learn ancient Hebrew grammar without vowels]].
Without vowels, Hebrew grammar becomes an order of magnitude easier. So you can easily learn the grammar. You do not need a scientific degree for it.
Why without vowels? Because Hebrew Bible was written by Moses and others without vowels.
and the third: start writing.
As a translator you write three four kinds of things:# Translations of (declined forms of) Hebrew words. Click a word in the [[TanakhIndex|Bible text]] to start edit the translation. You are recommended to use '''[http://www.2letterlookup.com/ 2LetterLookup]''' to find primary word forms from declined forms.
# Translations of Bible verses. Click "Exegesis" in the [[TanakhIndex|Bible text]] to start edit the translation.
# Commentaries on translated verses,
# [[Topics|Topics]] about Bible.

==Use your mouse==
After every Hebrew word link in this site, there is small arrow which denotes the split of the word into subwords with [[Theology:Spaces Hypothesis|spaces hypothesis]].
Now learn to use middle mouse button. Be aware that middle button clicking opens a link in a new browser tab.
Note that you can use it for the following things:
# Middle click the arrow to open (and have the possibility to edit) the spaces hypothesis splits for a particular word.
# Middle click a word in the popup to open it in a new tab without closing the popup or the current tab.
For now we should consider all splits (including splits with prefixes) and add all of them into Split: namespace. If in the future we decide that splits with prefixes don't work for interpreting God's words, we may remove splits with prefixes from Split: namespace articles.
If you find that a particular Hebrew words cannot be split into shorter Hebrew words, write the word "none" in the Split: page (which is opened by middle clicking the arrow) for this word.
