Studying the Book of Hebrews

I am currently studying Hebrews and am wondering if it is better to examine 
the book from a Hebrew perspective or a Greek persepective.  The style of 
the Greek seems to be different than what I have studied in the past.  If 
it is true that the writer was most likely schooled in Alexandria, and was 
a Jew himself, would it be better to look for Hebraic patterns of 
thought/rhetoric or Greek patterns of thought/rhetoric?  I am still working 
on the discourse analysis of chapters one and two and the style is eluding 
me!

Also, does anyone know of any books on Hebrew thought/rhetoric?  

Sorry if this is off-topic, but I am dealing with the Greek text.
