  • Jeff Benner from ancienthebreworg argues that the nature of the Hebrew language changed by being influenced by the abstract, Western thinking of the Greeks and Romans, therefore changing understandings of Hebrew words. I know I asked you this in another video, but are you familiar with him and his videos? If so, what are your thoughts on his sayings regarding Biblical Hebrew?

  • @SubZero7th

    I have visited the ancienthebrew website a few times, but it was a long time age.  I don't remember enough about it to give an opinion.

  • Oh, are you part of his organization? I was only curious as I've seen his videos elsewhere as well and I wasn't sure the connection.

  • @AmichaiNakum

    I am not officially a part of his organization, nor does everything I say necessarily reflect his views. Nor does everything he teaches necessarily reflect my views -- but we have similar enough views regarding the purpose of Torah and 'am Yisroel that I think we are good partners for that achieving our common goal for the sake of His Name.

  • @YemeniteChanter Maybe he could have used another example: HE: ruach vs AR: rūch

  • sounds like some of the sounds of modern hebrew were influenced by Yiddish or eastern european languages.. the Resh sound for instance in Israeli hebrew is exactly like the Reysh sound in Yiddish of which I speak.. also, the khet and chaf are also alike as in Yiddish.

  • 0:52 wow! You eat really quick! :P

  • Maroccan Arabic together with the other maghreb countries speak a dialect that has sometimes nog connection to the Arabic language (fus7a). It's because the original inhabitants weren't Arabs. The original Arabic language, called fus7a was always spoken on TV and before that in the masgeed and in the meetings with scholarly people.

  • Is the Brown Driver Briggs Hebrew Dictionary sufficient to study the entire Mishneh Torah, or would another dictionary be more suitable? Thank you for your assistance.
