Even if it wouldn't be that helpful, you should still do it. I mean, why in the world wouldn't you?!
Just to clarify: I'm not saying don't do it, I'm saying if you're going to write on the law you need to learn enough Hebrew to make sure the authorities you consult aren't making mistakes.

"The Reformation was a time when men went blind, staggering drunk because they had discovered, in the dusty basement of late medievalism, a whole cellar of 1500-year-old, 200 proof grace—a bottle after bottle of pure distillate of Scripture, one sip of which would convince anyone that God saves us single-handedly. The word of the gospel—after all these centuries of trying to lift yourself into heaven by worrying about the perfection of your own bootstraps—suddenly turned out to be a flat announcement that the saved were home-free before they started. Grace was to be drunk neat: no water, no ice, and certainly no ginger ale." – Robert Farrar Capon
