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.
