Introduction to Ancient Hebrew Part 1 of 7

[mi805]

can someone tell me if this is acient hebrew גם זה יעבור‎ ????

[hisimagenme]

All your videos are so good and appreciated so much! When will you be continuing the alphabet...it stopped @ gimmel...would so love more!

Adonai bless and keep you...

[ancienthebreworg]

@hisimagenme Thank you very much, I appreciate that. I have a unique work schedule with the company I work. I do contract work at Nuclear facilities, but I only work about 4 or 5 months out of the year, but when I do work it is about 80 hours a week. I have been working since September, but will be finished in March at which time I will be back home for most of the year and will be able to pick up on the series again.

[ParkwayDriveHorizons]

If the alphabet in the example is to be read from left to right, why is it translated from right to left then?

[ancienthebreworg]

@ParkwayDriveHorizons I'm not sure which example you are referring to, but if I said left to right in the video, I should have said right to left.

[ParkwayDriveHorizons]

@ancienthebreworg not to belabor the point but at 7:20 you state that the first letter is an "Alef a picture of a ox head" but, you read the words TENT POLE from right to left. Iam just inquiring about my misunderstanding is all. Thanks.

[ancienthebreworg]

@ParkwayDriveHorizons Ah, okay, I think I see what you are saying. The Hebrew is read from right to left-aleph and then beyt - av. When we apply the meanings of each letter, from right to left we have "strength (aleph) of the tent (beyt). My point in the video is, "what gives "strength to the tent?" A tent pole, the phrase "tent pole" is not meant to be the meanings of each letter individually, but when combined. Does that make sense?

[MrViTopol]

@ancienthebreworg no it doesn't make any sense at alllll

[ancienthebreworg]

@MrViTopol Let me try a different example. The Hebrew word for "mother" is אם (read from right to left), spelled aleph (on the right) and mem (on the left). The aleph is a picture of an ox head representing strength and the mem is a picture of water. Combined these mean "strong (aleph) water (mem)." The "strong water" is "glue," but also "mother," the glue of the family.

[MrViTopol]

@ancienthebreworg re- Cinderella story... fur is not a Russian word for fur :-D

Fur is ''Meh'' (mekh) in Russian...

ironically, fur is a Hebrew word. Fur is ''Parva'' in Hebrew.....

[MrViTopol]

@ancienthebreworg you claim ''shor'' to be in reference to the strengh, not ''alef''... yet in the word ''эm'' - mother you claim the ''alef'' there to be in reference to the strengh... besides since when water is a glue ?... glue sticks things together while water dissolves things... quite preposterous... av (alef + bet) is even more ridiculous... how would you ''interpret'' the word written using the same alef + bet, which means a necromancer's parafernalia ''ov'' ?...

[HavardiYah]

Also the nations have taken many other things, like numbers and the alphabet.

[Elderyoungone]

Who told you all what those markings mean and who told them? And how do you know this is Hebrew and not Egyptian or some Ethiopian language?Did someone who use to use these pictographs live long enough to share all this?You know those are Petroglyphs kinda like Hieroglyphs.

[ancienthebreworg]

@Elderyoungone To be honest, your questions are about the same as me asking you, "How do you know you're writing your messages in English?"

[Elderyoungone]

@ancienthebreworg ABOUT the same ,is NOT the same.If you can not answer the questions I asked in my first comment then all this is a lie and please do not try to use physiology to get off the subject.This is not English you are teaching here and I meet people all the time who still use the English language so that is how I know I am writing my messages in English.Give real answers,Bless you.

[ancienthebreworg]

@Elderyoungone Just as you write and speak English, there are Jews who have been, and there always have been, who write and speak Hebrew.

[Elderyoungone]

@ancienthebreworg Yea,Hebrew not Pictograph drawings.Where are the Jews that write like this? There is no such person so again," Who told you this was Hebrew and How do you know what these drawings mean?" You got a chart of shapes ,some of which do not even appear on any wall or rock nowhere.You seem like a smart person but you giving me lame glazed over answers.Bless you.

[ancienthebreworg]

@Elderyoungone Over the past 100 years scholars, more knowledgeable than us, have examined many ancient inscriptions that use these letters. Due to the nature of the pictographic nature of this script, it is a fairly easy method of determining which letter each picture is. For instance, the ox head is the aleph, as the word aleph means ox. The picture of the peg/nail is a vav as the word vav means peg/nail. See my series A history of Hebrew for more details on this ancient alphabet.

[MrViTopol]

@ancienthebreworg aleph doesn't mean ''ox''.

ox is ''shor'' in Hebrew.

[ancienthebreworg]

@MrViTopol In Hebrew there can be several different words meaning the same thing, but each word is being specific in the function that thing. Shor is in reference to the strength of the ox, eleph is in reference to its leadership. Another example is the moon, yereyahh is in reference to its path in the sky and lavanah is in reference to its brightness.

[daughterofHashem]

@Elderyoungone This was THE original writings, from which the Jewish scholars got their foundation for the Modern Hebrew language. How does one know? Do some research. The apostles didn't use modern Hebrew, they used this method. pay attention to the video. :D

[HavardiYah]

@Elderyoungone To help with your question. Research and investigations. Retracing steps of previous information, documentation, peoples closest connected and so on. Although He is wrong Aramaic is a branch of Hebrew not a separate language, its like German and English , Greek, Latin and Spanish.

AB or ABBA is a Hebrew word description later adopted and translated by other nations Greeks, etc. It shows the purpose, position and duty. Tent Pole (top head covering strength protection provider).

[koulaiyed]

wow, very eye opening, thank you, I would love to learn more about the Hebrew culture and writings, does anyone have a book or books to recommend me? Would really appreciate, thanks :)

[Yeshuaismyshepher]

If you people hear the voice of YHWH through the Holy Spirit why don't you keep His commandments...like the 7 feasts and Shabbats, food, and much more..."TORAH" these things make me see that you guys really don't hear the voice of THE ALMIGHTY..Y'shua said Mt 5:18 "For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke shall pass from the Law until all is accomplished...shalom..PS I am latina but keep Torah

[ancienthebreworg]

@Yeshuaismyshepher I'm not sure who you are speaking to. As for the Ancient Hebrew Research Center, this is an organization that simply teaches Hebrew, nothing more, nothing less. As for myself and my family, founder and administrator of AHRC, we are Torah observant.

[Yeshuaismyshepher]

@ancienthebreworg I was not speaking to you, sorry I was reading the comments about batists and more denominations that are there. To them I was referring...sorry for the miscommunication....shalom

[ancienthebreworg]

@ancienthebreworg No problem :-)

[Paladin1warrior]

@ancienthebreworg Why don't you do a study on predestination. I believe predestination got popular when people began to make theology on western translations, but it would be nice to have your input on it.

[Israel5535]

P see signs from the hosts of heaven, go to my site and view, "THE HOSTS OF HEAVEN." images in my video r real and I have the negatives.

[MrSuperEman]

great part 1! i'm just getting to learn these pictograph, and i new the Father part. The Tent is also a house. The picture of the Ox, is strength or leader. So I learn the strength of the tent / house is the Father who also is the leader. I'm still new and still want to learn more and more. Oh, also when you said "Tent Pole," the sound that came to my mind was "Tem ple" which i guess we know is the "house / tent of God / leader." Idk, still learning, okay on to Part 2.

[SuperDonster]

Hes making THE classic mistake. He THINKS he can understand the Bible with his brain. You NEED the Holy Spirit to understand it because it's a SPIRITUAL language. The only people confused are people that are trying to understand the scriptures WITHOUT being TRULY saved. You can be wise, bt only Jesus can save. The Bible is ment to make you "hear" and "see" the Holy Spirit and the mesg of Jesus. There are Atheists that could quote scriptures frm the Bible like no other, bt they sill don't "hear"

[ancienthebreworg]

@SuperDonster When I hear people say that the only way one can truely understand the word of God is through the Holy Spirit, I ask, the Baptists believe they are correctly interpreting the word through the Holy spirit, and the Methodists believe the same thing, yet they both have opposing interpretations of the Bible. And what about the Lutherans, Assembly of God, etc. If all of these churches are listening to the "Holy Spirit," then why do they differ so much?

[diva123abc]

@ancienthebreworg Catholic holds tradition to be equal to the Bible. Anglican is the English version of the Catholic Church created by Henry D8th for power. Presbyterians, n Lutheran are responses to the excesses of these churches. Baptist or ana baptist predate all up to the Catholic as strictly Bible believers with no added text, traditions or hierarchy. Assembly of God, 7th day advents, n COGIC are baptist derivatives and very close still to its tenants n r thought of as primitiveschristians

[diva123abc]

@ancienthebreworg Baptist don't hold Mary as perpetually a virgin. Nor do they claim she was born of a miracle or has any power.We will call no man father except our blood father. We believe we are all priest w/ access to the throne of God in Christ equally. We don't believe in transbulation of wine 2 blood. We disagree with the concept of church state as Jesus had no govt. We dip not sprinkle hence the name. There are more but u can wikipedia it.

[WesleySniperS1]

@ancienthebreworg Shalom could you tell me the ancient hebrew word for ''parent'' and ''ancestor'' thank you.

[ancienthebreworg]

@WesleySniperS1 There is no Ancient Hebrew word for "parent" or "ancestors. The parents are identified by אב (av-father) and אם (eym-mother) or אבות (avot-fathers). In Hebrew the masculine plural noun is used for a group of mixed genders, so "fathers" can mean "parents." "Fathers" is also the Hebrew way of saying ancestors.

[WesleySniperS1]

@ancienthebreworg Thank you for you're prompt reply, you confirmed what I suspected and researched, but I was told recently in a debate that the modern hebrew word for parent was ''Horim'' and ancestors was 'Kadmon'' now with a little research i've looked into ''Adom Kadmon'' which is supposedly a Jewish pre adamite ancestor. I would love to hear you're views on this and maybe we can find out the etymology or origins of both words. Shalom

[ancienthebreworg]

@SuperDonster Continued... Because of this, it is very evident that no one really hears directly from the Holy Spirit, therefore we must rely on archeology, anthropology, philology, etymology, and many other forms of the sciences to accurately interpret the word of God.

[SuperDonster]

@ancienthebreworg The reason different denominations believe different things is because they are run by MEN. They all CLAIM to have the Holy Spirit, but they DO NOT. The Holy Spirit DOES NOT save according to denomination. It saves according to predestination. read EPH 1:4-14 ; 2:8-9. Not ALL Baptists will be saved. And there are some churches were NO ONE will be saved ie Pentecostals. They believe if they speak in tongues they will be saved. The Holy Spirit is a gift and CAN NOT BE EARNED

[ancienthebreworg]

@SuperDonster And SuperDonster, I assume you know the correct interpretations because "YOU hear fromt he Holy Spirt?" If that is true, then why do thousands upon thousands of other people say they have heard something different from the Holy Spirit? Are you right and they all wrong?

[SuperDonster]

@ancientheb I am right in the sense tht Im tellin ya tht the Holy Spirit is a GIFT. Denominations tht say otherwise r deff wrng. The CHURCH is NOT a building or a denomination. Its made up of truly saved ppl ACROSS the globe. If ya wanna knw if sum1 is truly saved, jst pay attention to how they act, nt wht they say. Whn spiritual baptism occurs, it's evidence is in the FRUIT of the Holy Spirit.Gal 5:16 . right way= jst start reading KJV, follow Jesus' words, not mens, they will steer you wrng

[rossdaboss1959]

@SuperDonster I hear what u saying. That's why the only way i believe in being saved is according to the way God started the church on Pentecost and onward. Acts 2:38. The Jews, Gentiles and Samaritans all came the same way. Repent, being baptized in Jesus name n receiving the Holy Ghost. U have to ask yourself, did this really happen in the Bible? Has it been changed by God? If yes n no, then it's still the only way. What we think don't count, only his word. Acts 2:38.

[kschanaman]

@SuperDonster Where do you get off judging Pentecostals, saying they won't be saved? I'm a Pentecostal / Charismatic type myself, and a Bible believing one at that. Don't know what bible you're reading, but mine states that only those who are born of water AND THE SPIRIT will see the Kingdom of God. The same bible also says no one is saved out of their own works, but by the grace of God through Jesus Christ, that no man shall boast. So much for your summary judgement!!

[kschanaman]

@SuperDonster Also, in the book of Acts, nowhere does it say the spiritual gifts of God were done away with after the birth of the church. As a matter of fact, it is said in the book of Acts that the gifts of the Holy Spirit's baptism would continue to the end of time. Do you know YOUR bible well enough to find the verse I'm speaking of??

[survivorproject]

@SuperDonster

Come on man even our Lord Jesus Christ, who is the Son of the Father, and is God, when he was in human form, HAD TO READ & STUDY the books in the Old Testament to understand his Father's words. How could he say to his enemies & Satan "It is written..." if he did not learn God's word by reading the old manuscripts? The Father specifically commanded his men to write the original Hebrew manuscripts for good reason and purpose.

[survivorproject]

@SuperDonster

Was the Holy Spirit upon Jesus Christ before he got baptized and began his ministry?

Yet he understood the spiritual meaning of ancient Scriptures and knew what he had to do because he READ the physically written words.

[survivorproject]

@SuperDonster

When I was not yet a baptized disciple of Jesus Christ I did not have the gift of the Holy Spirit yet when I read the word of the Father I understood it and acted accordingly to what it tells me to believe and do.

Thanks be to God for the people who physically wrote the original and translated copies of the words of the Father - the Bible.

[LaSheuMusic]

Part8.END.This demonstration of Power by the God of Israel, is a sacred story found in the foundation of their language, starting from the invention of the writing of the language to proclaim the divine story.

Peace be upon you.

What else is said about our language?

[LaSheuMusic]

Part7.meaning lack of respect to them; they will use the word “taw”, to express their frustration. Notice. The word “Taw” follows alphabet number 21, written “Sheen or sin”, correctly “Shi, or shee” which means water. The scribes in the invention of the alphabet were telling their eternal unforgettable story of how The Living God had done miracle through Moshi making them cross “Taw”, the water “Shi” in Egypt. This demonstration of Power by the God of Israel, is a sacred story

[LaSheuMusic]

Part6.the line he was following on the ground crosses the other road, the other line, it Is the “X”, or the “Plus”. On the railroad sign, the image “X” of the Hebrew alphabet number 22, indicates two paths crossing each other. One has to keep walking following the line on the ground that will cross over the line of the train, but to be cautious. The Hebrew word “Taw” with its image “X”, it is used in old Hebrew to also express when somebody feels that he had been symbolically crossed

[LaSheuMusic]

Part5If you read what is written on the “X” around the railroad track, you will find that on one of the line of the “X”, it is written “Crossing”, and on the other line of the “X”, it is written “Railroad”. The point of the image is about CROSSING, PASSING. The image of the “X” was invented by our fathers to show what happens when one walks. Well, when the human being walks, he follows on the ground a line. When he crosses another road, the line he was following on the ground crosses

[LaSheuMusic]

Part4.Just like the image of the “X”, or the image of the “plus”, is two paths crossing each other. Even without taking into consideration the images, the word itself “Taw”, in the old Hebrew language, means to “walk pass, to cross”. The image of that alphabet “X”, one finds it on the railroad signs where the train passes. When you see the “X” at a railroad, it means that there are two paths crossing each other, one path being the one of the train. If you read what is written on the “X” around

[LaSheuMusic]

Part3.It is the ancient Hebrew word for "sign”. This comment is another mistake. May the Lord of heaven, extends his Forearm, and the scribes, and all the heirs of the words, may they stand with me, and allow me to help our cousins who are studying our language. The word “Taw” does not means “sign”, it means “to pass, to cross, to walk pass on a path, to cross pass”. Just like image of a cross, and the word cross means to walk pass, that is what “taw” means in old Hebrew.

[LaSheuMusic]

Part2.The heirs of the words, the wonderful scribes of the past, peace and blessing be upon them and their house. The “X” or the “Plus” was the image they drew of alphabet number 22. They named it “Taw”. This word should be correctly pronounced “To’”, or Te’h”, both pronunciations are found in the speech of the Hebrews of Cameroun. Minister Yarah wrote in his webpage, “In the ancient Hebrew picture letters the Tav was written as a cross, and later as an X.

[LaSheuMusic]

Part1. To help you. Some may not recognize the circle with an “X” inside as traffic violation or a stop sign. In other countries, Germany, and in Africa, the circle with an “X” inside represents a traffic violation, and sometime used as a stop sign. The sign had evolved in the U.S. The “X” that supposed to be inside of the circle is replaced by the word “Stop”.Alphabet number 22, following the information about alphabet number 9 of the Paleolithic area.

[jam454]

What is that music at the beginning? Its really cool.

[ancienthebreworg]

@jam454 That is Callen Clarke who plays ancient Semitic music on reprodcutions of ancient instruments.

[hiddenmountainofYAH]

so perfect...thank you sooo much, blessings!

[ancienthebreworg]

@hiddenmountainofYAH Thank you and You're welcome

[SpankbankINC]

@ancienthebreworg Hey man I bought a Hebrew for dummies book. Will it just confuse me if I want to learn ancient Hebrew? Is there any books you would recommend?

[ancienthebreworg]

@SpankbankINC Hebrew for dummies is for Modern Hebrew, but since modern Hebrew is similar to Biblical (though there are differences) it will definitely help you. For learning Biblical Hebrew we have free lessons with audio on our website.

[muncleike]

here we have a guy teaching Hebrew calling God Yahweh,but he doesn't even know there is no "w" in Hebrew its YHVH .Yahweh is impossible. and he tells a story about 3 blind men from an old hindu parable...hmm something is fishy here.

[ancienthebreworg]

@muncleike Something that most people are not aware of, only in modern Hebrew is the letter vav pronounced with a "v", in all other Semitic language of today this letter is pronounced with a "w." Don't just assume that Hebrew is the only Semitic langauge in existence today.

[muncleike]

@ancienthebreworg sorry if i am wrong here but well i didn't assume it and i wasn't talking about modern semitic languages i was talking about old Hebrew and from everything i have read ( and thats not a whole lot) about the old Hebrew is they simply didn't have "w". and i Know it was spelled YHVH. i simple don't see your point here.God Name is not Yahweh.

[ancienthebreworg]

@muncleike Judaism teaches that the letter ו (vav) is, and always has been a "v" sound. However, there is no way to prove this, it is simply a tradition. The sounds of each letter in ancient times is not known with certainty as there were no tape recorders then. We can only go on tradition and comparison with sister languages. The original pronunciation of יהוה will never be known with certainty, and if anyone claims to know the original pronunciation ask them for a tape recording of Moses.

[Bimfirestarter]

The Bushmen of the Kalahari speak a very unique language, and some people ascribe it great age. Their existence proves that primitive societies aren't evidence of worldwide primitivism (if that's a word). Have you noticed that crudely made images are often ascribed this age based merely on appearance?

[Bimfirestarter]

Do you know anything about ancient Hebrew and it having infixes? I know of one example in the Bible 'Hishtachawah', from 'Shachah'. On the Moabite stone -which I believe to be very important in talking about Hebrew, since it's so similar and the Moabites were decended from Hebrew-speaking Abraham- there is the example of 'Altachamah', from 'lacham' for a 'fighting' kind of meaning.

[ancienthebreworg]

@Bimfirestarter An "infix" is simply the addition of a litter inside the word. For instance the participle form of the עבר (meaning cross over) is עובר, where the letter ו is an infix.

[Bimfirestarter]

@ancienthebreworg No, that's not what I meant. 'waw' is just used a a vowel, in that case, and it wouldn't likely be there in ancient Hebrew (although some exceptions pop up as in Motsa' (Mem, waw, tsadhey, 'alef) in the Siloam inscription. Then again, that's not as ancient as what usually interests me.

I mean non-vowel infixes. Like the 'taw' examples I mentioned. Have you come across anything like those?

[ancienthebreworg]

@Bimfirestarter Hebrew nouns and verbs are created by adding prefixes, suffixes and infixes to a root. There are 20 variations for nouns and 7 for verbs. In every case, the prefixes and suffixes may be consonants or vowels, but infixes are always vowels. The example you gave with hishtachawah, is the hitpa'el form of the verb. The prefix הת (hit) is added as a prefix to the verb to form this hitpa'el form. Continued...

[ancienthebreworg]

@Bimfirestarter However, in a few rare occasions the verb is written defectively and the first letter of the root is placed in between the letter hey and the letter tav, which is why in this case the letter tav comes after the shin.

[Bimfirestarter]

@ancienthebreworg -Please allow me.

In the Moabite stone, this is recurring and not merely a scribal error, though your pointing out of Leviticus as a scribal error is probaby right on the money.

Here's part of my thinking, and it's an exciting thought for me.

-Cont'd.

[Bimfirestarter]

@ancienthebreworg Contrary to Evolution, language doesn't evolve but becomes simplified, whereas in antiquity languages gets more complex. Modern Hebrew, for example, English, Chinese. Other ancient near eastern languages had infixes as well, and I wonder that Hebrew did too, as implied by these examples. We may have much to discover. I mean, every word and phrase that ever existed in ancient Hebrew isn't in the Bible. Much has been lost. We don't even know the word for 'cat' in ancient Hebrew.

[ancienthebreworg]

@Bimfirestarter I have the opposite view of languages, as they evolve they get more complex. One of the reasons I say that is when you look at the Hebrew in the older books, such as Genesis and Job, it is a much simpler structure and vocabulary than in the later books such as in Isaiah. I could be wrong though. You did hit on one of the most unfortunate aspects of ancient languages, only a fraction of it has survived in the written text and so much as been lost.

[Bimfirestarter]

@ancienthebreworg -The thing about Job is that it's mostly poetry, and poetry in the Bible is characteristically simplistic in a way, which is why many ignorantly single out poetic parts like 'Miriam's song' and 'Deborah's song' as being more ancient. But are we to believe that only such are ancient, and Moses didn't really write what is ascribed to him? Most scholars say yes to this pick and choose style of scholarship. Not me!

[Bimfirestarter]

@ancienthebreworg Chinese and English are well-known examples of the downward spiral of languages into the...something of anti-evolution (aheh, heh). If you look at Sumerian and other near eastern tongues, they're fully developed in their earliest forms.

[Bimfirestarter]

How do we know what the 'thumbs up' thing means? I learned it was never sure based on the vagueness of the descriptions.

[ancienthebreworg]

@Bimfirestarter I am not sure, all I know is that it is well documented.

[Bimfirestarter]

@ancienthebreworg -Thanks for having the humility to say that, rather than the 'Idiot! -You're wrong and unenlightened and going to hell!' kind of thing so many psychos here on youtube resort to.

So Gladiator and Spartacus had it wrong, huh?

(Hollywood! -Bah!)

[ancienthebreworg]

@Bimfirestarter I learned a long time ago, I don't have all the answers, but I'm looking for 'em :-).

[TheLionamongbeast]

Your taking your YIDDISH and your masoretic vowel pointing and are lying to the people His name is Yahuwah Alahiym forever every letter in Abary is a word so you are taking away from Alahiym languge!

[Bimfirestarter]

@TheLionamongbeast Wow! So do you know of a Hebrew text that you can point out to us 'Yiddish-apologists' that indicates where 'Elohim' should be 'Alahim' and 'Ibri' 'Abari'?

Sounds like a mixture of Kabbalism and Islam to me, but it just sounds like it.

I really don't know anything about you, except your complete and apparent lack of presumption, which I love.

[0yakir0]

in which institute this course is take?

[ancienthebreworg]

If you or anyone is interesting in taking a course on Ancient Hebrew I have started the "Ancient Hebrew Education Center" (Google it).

[Bimfirestarter]

@ancienthebreworg Do you realize that the ancient Moabite version of some of the Ten Commandments that you have as the background of one of your videos (anti KJV one, I think) -though beautiful! -is not spelled how it would've been in ancient Hebrew? For instance: yod and mem costitute the masuline plural in modern Hebrew, but anciently, it would've been just a mem, and yod and mem would be the dual plural ending, like 'shacharayim' on the Mesha stela.

[Bimfirestarter]

@ancienthebreworg Ancient Hebrew, from what we can tell from antiquity's left overs, made much less use of the 'vowel-consonants' like 'yod' and 'waw'. Thus 'Edom as 'alef daleth waw mem in our modern Hebrew Bibles becomes exactly the same as Adam. One of the Lachish letters is where I saw this (or some similar ostracon). Mitsrayim is on the same one, I believe, with a yod before final mem for a 'dual' ending.

[0yakir0]

SHALOM

my name is yakir= יקיר i was born to Jewish parents in Israel and Hebrew is my Native Language.

Thank you about this video,

i discovered information that i didn't know.

it's amazing how much depth we can find in the things that visible to us so obvious sometimes.

and for who is reading hebrew:

המון תודה,

הסירטון הזה הוא נהדר בעיני, גילתי כ"כ הרבה דברים על שפת אימי ועל שורשיה.

יקיר

[Solvskudd]

Does it say "God is a jealous guy" in this one too? Like, is the word really the word jealous? Anyone?...

[ancienthebreworg]

The Hebrew more means "zealous" rather than "jealous." When the Bible says that he is "a zealous God," I read this to mean that he will protect his children like a parent would.

[Russellt0228]

what is the root for female isnt it a root of fire or something? come on come on lol.

[ancienthebreworg]

Actually it is the Hebrew word for "man," which is איש (iysh), which is derived from the word אש (esh) meaning fire.

[MzMichelle777]

Praise YHWH and Yehshua ha Mashiach and His Roax Kodesh(Holy Spirit)Finally...found it!...

[Freedomvoicenews]

it's not semitic IT IS SHEMATIC

[ancienthebreworg]

Semitic, Shemitic, Shematic... It's all Symantics :-)

All kidding aside, I use "Semitic" as this is the most common translation of שמית (shemit).

[deborahbetty58]

LOL. Just a thought. Do you know of any funny situations in Scriptures due to Symantics? Thanks :-)

Yah Bless, Love & Mercy

[ancienthebreworg]

Well, one comes to mind though I'm not sure you would consider it funny.

So Abraham prayed unto God: and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maidservants; and they bare children. (Gen 20:17 - KJV)

The word for "bare" is yalad which means to "bring forth." But the word "children" is not in the Hebrew and was added by the translators.

Cont.

[ancienthebreworg]

The assumption from the KJV is that the women couldn't bare children but note that Abimelech, who God told was a "dead man," was healed as well. Evidently the punishment is something that could cause death.

The literal translation of 20:17 is, "And Abraham interceded to Elohiym and Elohiym healed Abimelech and his woman and his maid servants and they brought forth."

What was their problem? They were constipated.

[deborahbetty58]

Yeah, that's a good one. :-) Incidentally the Bible is pretty specific abt the bodily human functions, But not always accurately translated, I've been told. Like that story abt the hemorrhoids affecting the ... I don't remember those ppl after stealing the Ark of the Covenant.

[ancienthebreworg]

Yep, in fact, if you know the root of the Hebrew for "female," you'd laugh your head off :-)

[deborahbetty58]

Okay, pls tell me; you made me curious.

[ancienthebreworg]

Sorry :-), gotta keep it at least a PG-13 rating here hahahaha. You're going to have to find out for yourself :-)
