Introduction to Ancient Hebrew Part 3 of 7

[FractalInfinities]

Fascinating videos, truly thought provoking! Thanks for sharing your wisdom with us!~

I'm sure you know that the "definitions can also be found" in the numerical values found between the interplay of related words or concepts. For example, father is aleph (1), vet (2), which sum to 3, and mother is aleph, mem (40), sum 41. Together mother and father make sons (for instance), and "yeled" or boy, has the value of 44...

2) Another fun example is the word for "pregnancy" in Hebrew, which is "herayion." It's spelled hei (5), resh (200), yod (10), vav (6), nun (sofit) (50 or 700). If we take nun as 50, the sum for the term for pregnancy, 271, is the actual approximate number of days of the human gestation period!

Again, thanks for sharing with us, and keep posting these great videos as you find the time and inspiration!

I am not a historian or a linguist, but I have learned a few things from those fields. I don't think the No. 1 comes from Hebrew. It is my understanding that the modern decimal number system was created in India. I can't reproduce them here on this comments section but the original numbers were based angles, a greater number angles represents a higher number.

[ancienthebreworg]

@VictorLepanto The numbers we use are called Arabic numbers. Arabic, a Semitic alphabet, comes from the same source as Hebrew. Our numbers have nothing to do with India.

[VictorLepanto]

@ancienthebreworg: You really need to look up this matter. You might have learned your philology & archeology & such, but numbers are a different matter. The European scholars learned these numbers from the Arabs, thus they called them "Arabic." The Arabs took them from the Indians (along w/ purdy much everythin else) when they invaded that land. If the Hebrews were concrete, the Indians were their opposite. Numbers are abstract, like Hindu philosophy.

[ancienthebreworg]

@VictorLepanto Can you give me your source for the Arabs getting their numbers from the Indians? Numbers are concrete, except for the number 0.

[VictorLepanto]

@ancienthebreworg: My original source is my high school pre-algebra teacher, Mr. Fry. I doubt if you'll be able to reference him. I am not certain if he is even alive anymore. He drew them for us, & I've seen them elsewhere. They're based on angles. A set of intersecting lines w/ 1 joining angle is the #1. 3 lines w/ two joints attaching them all is 2. 4 lines w/ 3 common angles is 3, etc. A circle, b/c it has no angles, is 0. Zero gets us into Hindu philosophy, everything is an illusion.

[ancienthebreworg]

@VictorLepanto Now that you mention that, I think I might have heard same thing many years ago, however, that is purely speculation. If you examine all nine numbers, you will find that they are almost identical with the first nine letters of the paleo-Hebrew alphabet. In my current series, The Ancient Hebrew alphabet, I go into this, but currently I am only up to gimel - 3.

[VictorLepanto]

@ancienthebreworg: Well, I don't know much about Sanskrit script. Maybe it has some connection to the developement of the Semitic script. I've always thought the Sanskrit script developed independently. The ancient phonetic script spread w/ trade so perhaps ancient traders did make connections w/ India. It is supposed that Jews are known to have resided in India going back to the days of King Solomon. The Jews Kerala became the base for the later Kerala Christian Church.

No, Hebrew alphabet came from Phoenician Alphabet

[ancienthebreworg]

@zheuhang Hebrew did not come from Phoenician and Phoenician did not come from Hebrew, they both used the same Semitic alphabet.

[shaharmos]

@zheuhang

the HEBREW  IS ARAMIC

[survivorproject]

Hebrew is dynamic language - wow!

[MrSuperEman]

@ 5:22 - I notice that the Ox and the Shepherd staff. It means the strong one with authority. Which we call God.  I thought of "the Lord is my Shepherd." He has the authority over his flock.

[LVCIVSTVLLIVSATELLVS]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the Hebrew alphabet come fro Phoenician?

[ancienthebreworg]

@LVCIVSTVLLIVSATELLVS Actually, the Hebrew and Phonecian alphabets are one and the same.

[LVCIVSTVLLIVSATELLVS]

@ancienthebreworg So what's presented in these videos is the Phoenician alphabet?

[shaharmos]

@LVCIVSTVLLIVSATELLVS

HEBREW IS LIKE  ARAMIC LANGUAGE

[ancienthebreworg]

@ancienthebreworg Not exactly. All ancient Semitic alphabets are derived from the same source. The original pictographic script could be called "proto-semitic alphabet." From this pictographic script came the middle semitic script, which is sometimes called Paleo-Hebrew, Phonecian, Amorite, Moabite, etc.

[shaharmos]

@LVCIVSTVLLIVSATELLVS

HEBREW language is ARAMIC  language

Part4.Again, I did not know the existence of his book, till yesterday. I never wrote anything because a human is directing me to do so; just following the guidance from the angel of the Lord Almighty. Why are they fighting the servant?

I wish you a good day!

Hope all of these information help.

[LaSheuMusic]

Part3.Mr. Jarred Diamond in his statement seems to lack some information to complete the researches he did in Africa. I believe that The Pocket Hebrew Dictionary just written can provide him, and provide all interested in knowing Africa, with another part of the information that is lacking. Therefore, the Pocket Hebrew Dictionary from Africa might be valuable to bring about the part of information the world is missing, but also to show the Oneness of us at the beginning of creation.

[LaSheuMusic]

Part2.The author had made also some researches on the language of the African people. Talking about the African language he writes on page 383 second paragraph of his book. "..even the Semitic subfamily itself is mainly African...Hence it may have been Africa that gave birth to the languages spoken by the authors of The Old and New Testaments, and the Koran, the moral pillars of western civilization.". What a surprised for me. Notice, Mr. Jarred Diamond in his statement seems to lack some

Part1.I did not know the existence of this till yesterday. Guns, Germs, and Steel, The Fate of Human society.Very Famous book. It is a Best Seller New York Time. A Pulitzer Prize Winner. The name of the author is Jarred Diamond. Meaning someone with a voice. I myself do not have a voice, if not by reason of Yahweh.The book was written in 1999. I might have still be in Africa or just freshly arrived in the U.S. I am very surprised! The author had made also some researches on the language of the

Errpp..start from the EAST/RIGHT and move WEST/LEFT. Sorry, I'm a south paw so right and left get flipped in my mind sometimes when they shouldn't.

[YAHWEHisperfect]

maybe what u call "poetry" is just part of that concreteness of hebrew..

deut 6-8....do u have any revelation on it and what is it?

[SexyPomper]

I am a "native speaker" of the Hebrew language, and I had NO CLUE of all of this. I makes a lot of sense to me!

[ancienthebreworg]

@SexyPomper The ancient origins of any language and culture are often ignored by most. Glad you found the video helpful.

[Russellt0228]

i was always confused why we read from right to left?

just curious where it originated from

theories

[vedinthorn]

@Russellt0228 Just a guess, but if the East is the past, and the West is the future, it would make sense to start from the Right/West, and move East/Left.

[deborahbetty58]

When in Hebrew poetry, the same attribute is repeated several times, within different comparisons. Does that also mean that Oneness of the Echad/Godhead, as expressed in many names still means Oneness, not as a no. but as in Unity? And when sowing the seed in the soil can be an allegory for semen in the womb since dust/soil is Adamah as referred to with a feminine noun? Shalom.

[ancienthebreworg]

To your first question, yes, Elohiym is expressed in multiple terms as parallels, For instance, the "Spirit" (literally wind) and "breath" are often parallels of God's nature. Even Elohiym (often translated as God) is a parallel with Malaakh (Angel or Messenger). As for your second question. That is an interesting comparison, never considered that before. I like it.

[Rotebuehl1]

@ancienthebreworg- Most fascinating! Wonderful for someone like me, with little knowledge of it. But I still remember to have learned in school: Old Hebrew script, or Paleo-Hebrew, is a variety of Phoenician/Proto-Canaanite (not to be confounded with philistine/palestinian, just in case) just like Greek! Samaritans use it to this day nearly unchanged! Jews, in turn, started using the Aramaic Script, another Phoenician offspring! Phoenician, in turn, derives from Pharaonic Egipcian! What's true?

[ancienthebreworg]

@Rotebuehl1 In my video series "A History of Hebrew" I go into detail on the origins and relationships of the various Semitic alphabets.

[Rotebuehl1]

@ancienthebreworg

Thanks a lot! I'm going to sneak in...

[ancienthebreworg]

The idea that Hebrew was adopted from the phonecians is a popular one but not very accurate. We do know that the Semitic alphabet existed at least 2,000 bce and probably even beyond. It is pretty obvious that this Semitic alphabet preceeded the Phoenecians and the Hebrews. The "Proto-Semitic" alephbet was then used by all Semitic peoples including the Phoenecians, Hebrews, Arameans, Moabites, Amorites, etc.

[shadowcop75]

Actually it's the Phoenician alphabet that is the basis for the Greek, Aramaic and Hebrew alphabets. The Phoenicians developed theirs most probably on the basis of a selection of Egyptian hieroglyphs. The Greeks got their alphabet from the Phoenicians through the extensive trade they had in the Mediterranean.

The Estruskans adopted a modified version of the Greek alphabet, since Greeks had colonies in Italy, and eventually the Romans adopted it from the Estruskans when they conquered them.
