can a Hebrew scholar help me with the correct pronunciation of קבורה?
Given the direction this thread has taken I will give you the full answer despite not knowing Hebrew, The "correct" pronunciation varies over time, geographical space and social situation. What you need to learn is any of the common pronunciation patterns that will make your pronunciation understandable to others. This is NOT to be confused with the pronunciation used by the human author of the text which is unknowable although some aspects can be reasonable posited. If your beliefs include the idea that God speaks Hebrew, it is not to be mistaken for the pronunciation used by God. Neither is it necessarily the pronunciation most used by any particular Jewish liturgical tradition.
Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."
Hmmmmmm.... 45 replies between 6 individuals. What does that say about the linguistic skills or interests of the rest of us? P.s. Not qualified to contribute to the discussion. Time to get out the interlinear. Oh dear, no pronunciation. Will wait until it is made free in Platinum.

Are you looking at הַקְּבוּרָה in 2 Chron 26.23? That would be Ha-Qə-Buh-rah' (the ' indicates accent and the ə is what is known as a shewa which is little more than a grunt).

Thanks George. I'm looking at how to pronounce the Hebrew lemma of קְבֻרַת־ in Genesis 35:20.
That wouldn't be much different. Qə-Buh-RaT The qibbuts (ֻ) which takes the place of the shureq (וּ) in my previous example has the same pronunciation. The "T" might be aspirated (th).

2 Peter 3:18 But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.
Not only the "T" but also the "B" - there's no Dagesh lene, so it would be Qə-Vuh-RaT(h).
