The purpose of this monograph is to describe classical Egyptian for Hebraists, who need Egyptian in their Biblical studies. Accordingly, Hebraic parallels and cognates figure prominently in the following pages. More specifically these pages have been written with a view to a Chinese edition to be used as a textbook at Southeast Asia College, Bandung, Indonesia, where the writer looks forward to the privilege of introducting Egyptology to the Far East in the very near future.
