As I said above, I think your better off focusing on your Greek studies. Learning Greek well through self-study is challenging enough, Hebrew promises to be much more difficult and less rewarding. I think Hebrew in particular benefits greatly from a classroom teacher. If you do want to learn Hebrew now, I'd try to find a local one. All that said, here are some online options I've heard good things about (but no direct experience):

  • Isreal Institute of Biblical Studies - University level classes, affiliated with the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Pricy, but you get what you pay for. This would be my pick if you can afford it.
  • Bill Barrick, Emeritus Prof of the Masters Seminary. Free video lectures and resources. Excellent budget option. Being free you don't get the valuable support you get with paid options.
  • Dailoy Dose of Hebrew - Free Videos tied to Mark Furtado's [Beginning-Biblical-Hebrew] (https://www.amazon.com/Beginning-Biblical-Hebrew-Mark-Futato/dp/1575060221). Both 'learn from the beginning' and review videos. Furtado is the Hebrew Prof at RTS Orlando. Mark is a great guy, the videos are super helpful for review, I'm not the biggest fan of the textbook, but it's fine.
  • Biblical Language Center - Their schtick is live skype classes teaching Biblical languages like living languages - i.e. conversationally. Not my thing, but some people swear by it.

For entry-level Hebrew insights into scripture? a year, maybe. For serious hardcore academic exegesis? A PhD.

I just finished two semesters of Hebrew at university. I would be totally willing to sell you my textbook "Beginning Biblical Hebrew" It's a wonderfully accessible entry point to Biblical Hebrew. If you are even casually interested in learning a little Hebrew. You might also consider buying a good Hebrew-English parallel Tanakh

If not, you could always just read articles and scholarship published by people who do study Hebrew exegesis. You can find a lot for free on the webs.
