Learn Biblical Hebrew - lesson 7 - The 'Shewa' | by eTeacherBiblical.com

Visit: http://eteacherhebrew.com/sigal

In this lesson we discuss the Hebrew Shewa: [ ְ ]. The Shewa can be silent, or non-silent - a "moving Shewa" (also known as a "vocal Shewa", or a "mobile Shewa").
In order for us to find Shewa, we read Genesis 11:3, which shows the familiarity of the author with Mesopotamian building practices. When you visit the old city in Jerusalem, you will surely notice the uniform white stone structure of every building. In Mesopotamia, on the other hand, there are no stones nearby; therefore, they burnt clay in the fire to make hard bricks for building.

Thank you for your input I am new at this and trying to figure this out we have a class but I'm a year behind as I just started to attend. This is exciting and am having fun learning all this, it's different from english but hopefully soon I will grasp it. Your and other videos have been very helpful and it's helping me alot.

Blessings :^)

@ArmoredSaint63 Thank you for this question: Moving Shewa appears as the second of two consecutive shewas (the first is silent).

In the word with the shewas just the first one is silent and the ah for the other two?
