I'm specifically looking for an online resource that explains every letter in every verse of the OT. For example, in Genesis 1:2, the word translated "was" (as in "And the earth was without form") is הָיְתָה , and I need a tutorial that explains why it differs from the root word הָיָה. Why is the tav there instead of the he, and what does the suffix mean? I have a guess, but I need something that explains this for every letter in every word. I have a hard time recognizing the root words when they have divergent letters, and the rules of grammar are still very hard for me to grasp (and I'm trying to teach myself). I use www.blueletterbible.org a lot and it's very helpful, but it doesn't actually explain every single letter...it gives you the root and the Strong's definition, but if the word in the text isn't spelled exactly like the root, it throws me.
