As I patiently await the Hebrew audio pronunciation resource can a Hebrew scholar help me with the correct pronunciation of קבורה? Thanks!
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).

Not only the "T" but also the "B" - there's no Dagesh lene, so it would be Qə-Vuh-RaT(h).

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.
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.
