  • The Mystery of the Hebrew Language the Symbolism of the Hebrew
    Apocalypse Prophesied From Eden to the New Jerusalem: God’s Plan for Humanity The Mystery of the Hebrew Language Appendix The beginning of language on earth can be traced back to John 1:1, which states: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. (NRSV) When Adam and Eve lived in the Garden of Eden, God revealed to them the basic structure of the original language. At that time man lacked direct experience so he needed to be taught how to think and function in order to deal with his environment. His mind was in some ways like that of a newborn baby. The creative process of developing the human mind was not finalized in the Garden. It will continue throughout the cycles of human habitation of the earth. The finished product (a human being from God's perspective) can only come to his full potential by being born on the other side of reality after his earthly life is through. After programming, for example, a computer usually must be shut down and restarted. Similarly, people must die and then be resurrected in order to become a finished product in accordance with God's full pleasure and intent. However, because God does not want preprogrammed robots, He gave us free will. Many human beings will reject eternal life by rejecting God. Since they do not choose to conform to His image, they will remain dead and eventually be eliminated in the lake of fire. Only those made holy and clean by the blood of Jesus Christ will remain to live forever.

    Ayin , ע Ayin (also ayn or ain; transliterated ⟨ʿ⟩) is the sixteenth letter of the Semitic abjads, including Phoenician ʿayin , Hebrew ʿayin ← Samekh Ayin Pe → [where it is sixteenth in abjadi order only).[1) ع Aramaic ʿē , Syriac ʿē , and Arabic ʿayn Phoenician Hebrew Aramaic Syriac Arabic The letter represents or is used to represent a voiced pharyngeal fricative (/ʕ/) or a similarly articulated consonant. In some Semitic ع ע languages and dialects, the phonetic value of the letter has changed, or the phoneme has been lost altogether (thus, in Modern Hebrew it is reduced to a glottal stop or is omitted entirely).

  • Psalms 119 & the Hebrew Aleph
    Psalms 119 & the Hebrew Aleph Bet - Part 17 The seventeenth letter of the Hebrew alphabet is called “Pey” (sounds like “pay”). It has the sound of “p” as in “park”. Pey has the numeric value of 80. In modern Hebrew, the letter Pey can appear in three forms: Writing the Letter: Pey Note: Most people draw the Pey in two strokes, as shown. The dot, or “dagesh” mark means the pey makes the “p” sound, as in “park”. Note: The sole difference between the letter Pey and the letter Fey is the presence or absence of the dot in the middle of the letter (called a dagesh mark). When you see the dot in the middle of this letter, pronounce it as a "p"; otherwise, pronounce it as "ph" (or “f”). Five Hebrew letters are formed differently when they appear as the last letter of a word (these forms are sometimes called "sofit" (pronounced "so-feet") forms). Fortunately, the five letters sound the same as their non-sofit cousins, so you do not have to learn any new sounds (or transliterations). The Pey (pronounced “Fey” sofit has a descending tail, as shown on the left. Pey: The Mouth, or Word The pictograph for Pey looks something like a mouth, whereas the classical Hebrew script (Ketav Ashurit) is constructed of a Kaf with an ascending Yod: Notice the “hidden Bet” within the letter Pey. This shape of the letter is required when a Torah scribe writes Torah scrolls, or mezzuzahs. From the Canaanite pictograph, the letter morphed into the Phoenician ketav Ivri, to the Greek letter (Pi), which became the Latin letter “P.” means “mouth” and by extension, “word,” “expression,” “vocalization,” and “speech”.

  • MULTI-SENSORY ALEPH BET Submitted by Janine Starr Project Title
    MULTI-SENSORY ALEPH BET Submitted by Janine Starr Project Title: Multi-sensory Aleph Bet Subject Area: The shapes and sounds of the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet Target Age Group(s): 2nd grade Lesson Objective(s): Students will integrate the shape and sound of each letter deeply to support future fluency in Hebrew reading. This is a program that I designed and implemented for a class of second graders in the JCRB Beit Sefer Chadash, 2002-2003, under the directorship of Rabbi Nadya Gross. Each week of school we studied one or two letters and its (their) sound(s) in a variety of ways. THE BEST ORDER IN WHICH TO TEACH THE LETTERS IS THAT FOLLOWED BY THE TEXT BOOK SAM THE DETECTIVE published by KTAV. Copyright © 2004, Weaver Family Foundation. www.WeaverFoundation.org Page 1 of 6 MULTI-SENSORY ALEPH BET Submitted by Janine Starr LEVEL I First, we studied the letter visually. I held up a poster board with the outline of the letter drawn large, the gamatria number, and a Hebrew word written in English letters that began with the letter, and that summarized it’s essence (i.e., for beit, I used the word Bayit, meaning house, because bet looks like a house, and it’s spiritual meaning, or “essence” is also “house”.) The children used their fingers to trace a large letter shape in the air, using the poster for guidance. LEVEL II Next, I added the auditory level. I told a story to teach the essence of the letter, and help the children remember the “essence” and special word that went along with the letter.

  • The Christological Aspects of Hebrew Ideograms Kristološki Vidiki Hebrejskih Ideogramov
    1027 Pregledni znanstveni članek/Article (1.02) Bogoslovni vestnik/Theological Quarterly 79 (2019) 4, 1027—1038 Besedilo prejeto/Received:09/2019; sprejeto/Accepted:10/2019 UDK/UDC: 811.411.16'02 DOI: https://doi.org/10.34291/BV2019/04/Petrovic Predrag Petrović The Christological Aspects of Hebrew Ideograms Kristološki vidiki hebrejskih ideogramov Abstract: The linguistic form of the Hebrew Old Testament retained its ancient ideo- gram values included​​ in the mystical directions and meanings originating from the divine way of addressing people. As such, the Old Hebrew alphabet has remained a true lexical treasure of the God-established mysteries of the ecclesiological way of existence. The ideographic meanings of the Old Hebrew language represent the form of a mystagogy through which God spoke to the Old Testament fathers about the mysteries of the divine creation, maintenance, and future re-creation of the world. Thus, the importance of the ideogram is reflected not only in the recognition of the Christological elements embedded in the very structure of the Old Testament narrative, but also in the ever-present working structure of the existence of the world initiated by the divine economy of salvation. In this way both the Old Testament and the New Testament Israelites testify to the historici- zing character of the divine will by which the world was created and by which God in an ecclesiological way is changing and re-creating the world. Keywords: Old Testament, old Hebrew language, ideograms, mystagogy, Word of God, God (the Father), Holy Spirit, Christology, ecclesiology, Gospel, Revelation Povzetek: Jezikovna oblika hebrejske Stare Zaveze je obdržala svoje starodavne ideogramske vrednote, vključene v mistagoške smeri in pomene, nastale iz božjega načina nagovarjanja ljudi.

  • Introduction to Using Hebrew Language Tools Syllabus Institute
    Introduction to Using Hebrew Language Tools Syllabus 15 March to 10 May 2016 Whitney Oxford Institute of Grace Grace Immanuel Bible Church Jupiter, Florida I. Course Description and Objectives Jesus came—and will come again—to fulfill the Law and the Prophets (Matt 5:17). How, then, can we understand Him or His task if we do not know the contents of the Law and the Prophets? The better we understand “whatever was written in earlier times” (Rom 15:4), the more intimately we can know our God and Savior. Indeed, the apostle Paul testified that he stated “nothing but what the Prophets and Moses said was going to take place; that the Christ was to suffer, and that by reason of His resurrection from the dead He would be the first to proclaim light both to the Jewish people and to the Gentiles” (Acts 26:22-23). Introduction to Using Hebrew Language Tools seeks to introduce believers to biblical Hebrew and the language tools that facilitate its proper understanding. This introduction seeks to help believers: become acquainted with the Hebrew aleph beth become acquainted with frequently-occurring words in the Hebrew Scriptures become acquainted with the categories and use of Hebrew language tools recognize key terms and abbreviations used in Hebrew language tools better understand the author’s intended meaning better understand the New Testament, since its the foundation is the Old Testament recognize deviant teaching II.

  • Old Phrygian Inscriptions from Gordion: Toward A
    OLD PHRYGIAN INSCRIPTIONSFROM GORDION: TOWARD A HISTORY OF THE PHRYGIAN ALPHABET1 (PLATES 67-74) JR HRYYSCarpenter's discussion in 1933 of the date of the Greektakeover of the Phoenician alphabet 2 stimulated a good deal of comment at the time, most of it attacking his late dating of the event.3 Some of the attacks were ill-founded and have been refuted.4 But with the passage of time Carpenter's modification of his original thesis, putting back the date of the takeover from the last quarter to the middle of the eighth century, has quietly gained wide acceptance.5 The excavations of Sir Leonard Woolley in 1936-37 at Al Mina by the mouth of the Orontes River have turned up evidence for a permanent Greek trading settle- ment of the eighth century before Christ, situated in a Semitic-speaking and a Semitic- writing land-a bilingual environment which Carpenter considered essential for the transmission of alphabetic writing from a Semitic- to a Greek-speakingpeople. Thus to Carpenter's date of ca. 750 B.C. there has been added a place which would seem to fulfill the conditions necessary for such a takeover, perhaps only one of a series of Greek settlements on the Levantine coast.6 The time, around 750 B.C., the required 1The fifty-one inscriptions presented here include eight which have appeared in Gordion preliminary reports. It is perhaps well (though repetitive) that all the Phrygian texts appear together in one place so that they may be conveniently available to those interested. A few brief Phrygian inscriptions which add little or nothing to the corpus are omitted here.

  • Further Notes on Samaritan Typography
    FURTHER NOTES ON SAMARITAN TYPOGRAPHY ALAN D. CROWN IN my recent study of Samaritan typefaces^ I was able to trace the history and development of some of the more important of these on the basis of the evidence then available to me. That study stimulated some interest among both historians of typography and librarians. Through the kindness of Brad Sabin Hill of the British Library, who has drawn my attention to specimens which I would not otherwise have seen, including examples from both the British Library and the Tychsen collection in the University Library at Rostock, and of Nigel Roach of the St Bride Printing Library, London, I have been able to refine some of the ideas about the history of the Samaritan typefaces which were developed in the original work and make corrections to opinions then offered. I have also been made aware that one of the allegedly lost English faces, the first Enghsh Samaritan types to be cut, found its way to Sheffield where it now remains.^ Additionally, it is now possible to draw attention to a number of other Samaritan typefaces of which I was not previously aware. Both the British Library and the St Bride Printing Library have several examples of the foho texts produced in Italy for the celebration of special occasions such as weddings, anniversaries and accessions to the throne and promotions within the Church, and of the types that were prepared for these occasions.^ It was the custom on these occasions to demonstrate the glories of Italian typography by the printing of folio presentation volumes as pohshed examples of the printer's art.
