A History of Hebrew Part 9: Dating the Semitic Alphabet

[VictorLepanto]

Is there a "corrected" printing of the Bible (or atleast the Torah) w/ the script in what we can best determine is the original? I would think some valuable insights can be gained from such a text.

[ancienthebreworg]

@VictorLepanto I have published the Ancient Hebrew Torah, but I would not call this a corrected printing, but it is an attempt to restore the Torah to its original characteristics.

[VictorLepanto]

@ancienthebreworg: I am especially struck by how the original tov is a cross. The letter tet is a snake. Thus the cross, tov, is set against the serpent as opposed principles.

[ancienthebreworg]

@VictorLepanto One of the very first Hebrew words that I examined the pictographs used to spell the word is satan, which is spelled samech, a picture of a thorn, tet, a picture of a basket and means to surround, and nun, the picture of a seed - the thorn that surrounds the seed. The second word I did was Adam - aleph, an ox head meaning that can mean first, as it is the first letter, dalet meaning door and enter, and mem meaning water or chaos - the first to enter chaos.

[VictorLepanto]

@ancienthebreworg: Perhaps it is a mistake to imagine the ancients had no capacity for abstraction. In your saying that water is figure for chaos, I am reminded of the treatment that St. Augustine gave for the waters of creation in his City of God. He took it to mean an amorphous, non-solid & thus liquid like substance. He was tying it into his Platonism of course. But maybe this is an indication of the original intention of Moses. Much as "solid gold" forms from liquid molten gold.

Wait...isnt the Earth supposed to be 6,000 years old?...how can these alphabets be so old?

But really...These alphabets were around well before Egyptians? Man...that is a loooong ass time ago.

[ancienthebreworg]

@helltrackrider The idea that the earth is only six thousand years old is based solely on an attempt to date the earth according to genealogies, but the Bible genealogies are not necessarily a complete record of the history of man.

[CHICostaRican]

You haven't touched base on the ancient Semitic Akkadian and Aramaic languages used by the ancient Mesopotamians: The Assyrians.

Keep up the work/research...

[ancienthebreworg]

@CHICostaRican I had to limit how much information I added to this video as it is only an "overview"

[ZeusTelemaxos]

This is an attempt at Cultural and Academic fraud. The Phoenicians were in NO WAY hebrews. And they had absolutely nothing to do with hebrews. The Hebrew language is derived from Phoenicians. But Hebrews are no Phoenicians. Different religions much different history much different people. Its like saying that the Indians who speak English are Europeans because they speak English.. This garbage documentary has absolutely no standing in the academic world of Linguistics and Archaeology.

[Gwrgo]

Since when does history begin by dating the latest and thus attributing anything found earlier than the latest to it?  Talk about creating illusions. What a scam...

[ancienthebreworg]

@Gwrgo The dating of ancient artifacts is based on my different techniques including carbon 14 and their insitu location and relationship to other artifacts that can be dated.

[ZeusTelemaxos]

This is utter nonsense. This video has no archaeological credibility AT all. basically according to this individual The entire history and alphabets of the Middle East are Hebrew. he automatically takes ownership of ANYTHING that appears to be "semitic" as Hebrew or Jewish. No wonder "Jewish" or biblical archaeology has absolutely no credibility in Academia.

[Venustarr]

@ZeusTelemaxos You're just an anti-semitic racist.

[ZeusTelemaxos]

@Venustarr

oh really why is that? Why dont you look up "The Exodus Decoded" and Also see that The Phoenicians WERE NOT Hebrews in any way. Too many writings remain from the Phoenicians to be caling them hebrews.The Exodus decoded is an academic fraud.And anyone challenging it is called an "Anti Semite" but this crap characterization of people does nto work anymore.The trick is out The joke is on you."Antisemitism its a trick WE ALWAYS USE IT" from the Israeli PM herself /watch?v=jUGVPBO9_cA

[sbz666283]

@ZeusTelemaxos Hebrew comes from Chaldean which Phoenician and canaanites adopted Hebrew. so did the greeks then rome adopted greek then get adopted further even into english everything he says in the video can be proven over and over again.

[ZeusTelemaxos]

@sbz666283

The Greeks Adopted Hebrew? is that what youre saying? please find ONE non Biblical Archaeologist/Linguist who agrees that the Greeks adopted some of the Hebrew Alphabet and not Phoenician. Biblical archaeologists main cause is to prove biblical genealogy as fact. thus losing All credibility in academia. The stories in the torah are a joke. Not worth the scroll they're written on.

[sbz666283]

@ZeusTelemaxos by looking up the alphabet. lol. whenever any culture adopts anything from another culture it is altered you can follow these alterations to its source. Ancienthebreworg shows in the video the progression letters take as cultures adopt them. like above hebrew is Chaldean script. which follow further down you get into older middle east cultures that existed before Chaldean remember Abraham came from UR of the Chaldees. Abraham was Chaldean it was only after

[sbz666283]

@ZeusTelemaxos abrahams calling from God, and also the land he was given which everyone after abraham is now hebrew. You can find outside sources about the land transactions and other information by the nations that was around at the time. the stories in the torah is backed up by those who existed in that time period even hebrews/ isreals enemies state these things/ there is more proof to those stories then people wish for.

@ZeusTelemaxos

How many would you like?

Start with Irish/Scot WELSH. Welsh is the closest language to Hebrew. Our "Alpha-bet".. derives from the Hebrew Aleph-bet. English & German are the next closest languages. Some words remain identical.

[LaSheuMusic]

Part5End.In conclusion. The name of the entire 22 Hebrew characters is Aleh Beh, “HE SAID I AM”; and it is the root of the modern word “Alphabet”.

May you stay in good care.

Hope all of these are helpful for those who are curious to know.

[LaSheuMusic]

Part4.or what they were saying in those words? They mean something. People look at the list of that alphabet and do not realize that they are words. Some realize that they are words, but since it is not their language, they do not bother furthermore. Others realize that the old Hebrew alphabet are words, but since in the new cultures, names of things generally do not mean anything, they think that it is the same for the old Hebrews names

[LaSheuMusic]

Part3.You see the similarity, you see the root. “Aleh Beh=AlphaBet. HE SAID I AM. Think about it. The modern letters A,B, C, D, E, F,…these letters do not have any meaning at all in modern language. On the contrary, the letters of the old Hebrew alphabet are words not letters; they are names, they are complete sound in their formation. When you look at those words “Aleh, Beh, Giy, Daleh, Hey, Waw, Zahyin…won’t you be curious to know what the inventors were hiding in the words, or what

[LaSheuMusic]

Part2.Notice that the modern word “Alphabet”, is an evolution of the Hebrew names “Aleph Beh” , names that the priests gave as the title of the 22 charaters. The priests titled the 22 characters, “Aleh Beh”. Which means “HE SAID I AM”. So the name of Alphabet number 1, and alphabet number 2 became the name of the entire 22 characters. It is from the name they gave “Aleh Beh”, HE SAID I AM, that came the modern transformed word “Alphabet”

[LaSheuMusic]

Part1.Conclusion .To conclude on the sacred alphabet created by the forefathers, it is the word ALPHABET itself that is the conclusion. When the priests, guided by Yahweh, through His son Yehsuah finished inventing the 22 characters of their language, they had to name their work. They had to find a title to their work. How to call the 22 character altogether? The name of the 26 characters in English language is Alphabet, in French is alphabet, in Spanish is Alphabeto. Roots.

[Bimfirestarter]

I like the music. What's this music from?

[ancienthebreworg]

@Bimfirestarter This music is the work of Callen Clark who has composed ancient Hebrew music using traditional ancient styled instruments. I love it myself. He has one CD out titled "Verse" and I think he is working on another (Verse II).

[Russellt0228]

excellent! keep it goinG

[ancienthebreworg]

I think it is most beneficial to learn the pictographic script. For the simple reason that Hebrew is a concrete langauge and this pictographic script is concrete. However, if you want to be able to use the many resources that are available in helping one to learn Hebrew (Bibles, Lexicons, Etc) you will need to know the modern square script as this is what all these resources use. Secondly, the nikkud (vowel pointings) in the modern script are very helpful with pronunciation.

[Lypur]

Very interesting. The whole series sheds new light on the history of Hebrew script. Thanks for the info I much appreciate it.

In your opinion which script do you think is the most beneficial to learn if wanting to know the original meanings?

[isheepJesusShepherd]

@Lypur You'd probably have to make that determination yourself.

[Negev9]

How many parts are you planning to have in this series?

[ancienthebreworg]

A total of four;

Alphabet

Language

Philosophy

Transmission

[drdalet]

Very interesting to hear that the oldest semitic inscription come from southern Egypt. It brings to mind the Lemba israelites in Zimbabwe.

Just a critical observation: from 2:00 the music is getting louder (too loud) and is distracting. Perhaps it was just a mistake because otherwise your videos are really very professional and pleasant to watch. And I think you have great material for a History Channel special.

[ancienthebreworg]

Thanks for letting me know about the background music being to loud. Yes, that was a mistake and I will correct it in the second cut.

Thank you for the compliment, but I don't think its quite good enough for the History Channel :-)

[tudungsenduk]

Wow. Just like watching The History Channel.

[ancienthebreworg]

LOL :-) That's my favorite channel.

[RedLev07]

Better... I would say!

Really enjoying your videos & research... I'm waiting for my shipment from Amazon with A Mechanical Translation of Genesis, dictionary and dvd's to share!!! :)

[ancienthebreworg]

Thank you very much and I hope you enjoy the materials :-)

[DeeJayemet]

Sababa!

Great video

[ancienthebreworg]

Thanks :-)
