  • you are a fantastic teacher!

  • sorry, the leg is in the right side of the letter ב not left.

  • notice the letter ב as in אבא

    is with a little leg on it's left side, as opposed to the letter כ as in כן (yes)

    when you wrote בן (son) for a Hebrew reader it'll look like כן (yes)

  • bad pronoucation!!

  • Heh...... I have been told by others I pronounce it very well. After all, really now......we have no idea how it was *really* pronounced in ancient history.  lot of it is guessing.

  • Comment removed

  • Its good to do with menachem's view of the most common words. There are about 2000 words in the Tnk which only occur once or twice..its best to build a vocab on the common words first I agree.

  • Professor.

    What is the meaning of YHWH? I think it dose not mean I AM or anything close to that.

  • There is a lot of scholarly discussion generated on this issue. I shall do some vids on it, as that was my intention anyway. Thanks for bringing it up.

  • @TheBackyardProfessor Two years ago you said you shall do some vids on YHWH, has this happened? I mean, one could look through your just shy of 1,000 videos and find it and all... But again, maybe they haven't been actualized.

  • Hi, Yud hey /vav hey is the 3rd person imperfect of Hava(which is essentialyl haya, vav and yud are interchangable in Heb.), and means 'he will be/he is'. This is called in hebrew binyat kal, a simple conjucation-it is basically the 3rd person responce to the 1st person ehyeh (i am/will be). God addressed himself to moshe as ehyeh, but we addressed him in the 3rd as yh/wh.However, there is some debate that it maybe a hifel conjucation, ie causitive, thus meaning 'he causes to be',ie he creates.

  • Thank you for your response to my question. I believe you are right, YHWH means 'he will be/he is'.

    but I still did not understand why we addressed God in the 3rd as yh/wh and not yahayah if they are related to each other.

    Shalom

  • Goodness me, Professor!

  • What? WHAT?!? I didn't do it - lol....... I need to get back onto making more vocabulary don't I?

  • WOW! I LOVE IT!

  • Great videos!

    Tov meod

    שלום

  • Excellent work professor!
