If he said, Nay; Jdg 12:6 Then said they unto him, Say now Shibboleth: and he said Sibboleth: for he could not frame to pronounce it right. Then they took him, and slew him at the passages of Jordan: and there fell at that time of the Ephraimites forty and two thousand. 1 www.khaiyashua.com ALEPH-TAU Hebrew School Biblical Hebrew Lesson 201 (Aleph-Bet) Hebrew Aleph – Bet Chart Book Final Letter Names Pronunciation Print Form in English Block Script Numbers Aleph 1 א Silent letter B as in Boy (At the beginning of ּב (word/syllable V as in Vine Bet 2 ב At the) middle or end of word/syllable) Gimmel 3 ג G as in Girl Dalet 4 ד D as in Door Hey 5 ה H as in House W as in Wine ו O as in Oak Waw 6 ֹו Oo as in Pool ּו At the middle) or end of 2 www.khaiyashua.com ALEPH-TAU Hebrew School Biblical Hebrew Lesson 201 (Aleph-Bet) word/syllable) *vowel indicator Zayin 7 ז Z as in Zebra KH as in Khet 8 ח KHai Tet 9 ט T as in Tall Y as in Yes Y as in Try י Y as in Pray ַי Y as in Key (At the middle Yod 10 ַי or end of word/syllable) ַי *vowel indicator K as in ּכ Kaf 20 ך Kitchen 3 www.khaiyashua.com ALEPH-TAU Hebrew School Biblical Hebrew Lesson 201 (Aleph-Bet) כ Lamed 30 ל L as in Look Mem 40 ם מ M as in Moon Nun 50 ן נ N as in Now Samech 60 ס S as in Sun Silent letter (Guttural) adjective 1. 1.

Hebrew Vowels are shown as dots or dashes that appear below or above Hebrew letters. 2. A vowel is a sound that originates from the throat (ex. A, E, I, O, U). A consonant is a sound that originates from the lips (ex. B, C, D, F, G). 3. Originally, Hebrew vowels were not written. Vowels were verbally spoken and understood by everyone. 4. As Israelites scattered across the 4 corners of the earth, the Hebrew language became obsolete. Masorites developed a system of preserving the pronunciation of the Hebrew language by adding dots and dashes underneath the Hebrew text as vowel symbols. If vowels were made into Hebrew letters (instead of dots or dashes) then the Scribes would have to add new letters inside of each Hebrew word. To do this would have been a violation of YHWH’S Commandment: Deu 4:2 YE SHALL NOT ADD UNTO THE WORD which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of YHWH your GOD which I command you. 5 www.khaiyashua.com ALEPH-TAU Hebrew School Biblical Hebrew Lesson 201 (Aleph-Bet) Two Hebrew Vowel Sounds Vowels are shown by adding dots and dashes below or beside consonants.

  • Language of the Old Testament: Biblical Hebrew “The Holy Tongue”
    E-ISSN 2281-4612 Academic Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies Vol 4 No 1 ISSN 2281-3993 MCSER Publishing, Rome-Italy March 2015 Language of the Old Testament: Biblical Hebrew “The Holy Tongue” Associate Professor Luke Emeka Ugwueye Department of Religion & Human Relations, Faculty of Arts, Nnamdi Azikiwe University, PMB 5025, Awka- Anambra State, Nigeria Email: [email protected] phone - 08067674763 Doi:10.5901/ajis.2015.v4n1p129 Abstract Some kind of familiarity with the structure and thought pattern of biblical Hebrew language enhances translation and improved ways of working with the language needed by students of Old Testament. That what the authors of the Scripture say also has meaning for us today is not in doubt but they did not express themselves primarily for us or in our language, and so it requires training on our part to understand them in their own language. The features of biblical Hebrew as combined in the language’s use of imagery and picturesque description of things are of huge assistance in this training exercise for a better operational knowledge of the language and meaning of Hebrew Scripture. Keywords: Language, Old Testament, Biblical Hebrew, Holy Tongue 1. Introduction Hebrew language is the language of the culture, religion and civilization of the Jewish people since ancient times. It belongs to the northwest ancient Semitic family of languages. The word Semitic, according to Kitchen (1992) is formed from the name Shem, Noah’s eldest son (Genesis 5:32). It is an adjective derived from ‘Shem’ meaning a member of any of the group of people speaking Akkadian, Phoenician, Punic, Aramaic, and especially Hebrew, Modern Hebrew and Arabic language.

  • Saudi Dialects: Are They Endangered?
    Academic Research Publishing Group English Literature and Language Review ISSN(e): 2412-1703, ISSN(p): 2413-8827 Vol. 2, No. 12, pp: 131-141, 2016 URL: http://arpgweb.com/?ic=journal&journal=9&info=aims Saudi Dialects: Are They Endangered? Salih Alzahrani Taif University, Saudi Arabia Abstract: Krauss, among others, claims that languages will face death in the coming centuries (Krauss, 1992). Austin (2010a) lists 7,000 languages as existing and spoken in the world today. Krauss estimates that this figure could come down to 600. That is, most the world's languages are endangered. Therefore, an endangered language is a language that loses her speakers within a few generations. According to Dorian (1981), there is what is called ―tip‖ in language endangerment. He argues that a language's decline can start slowly but suddenly goes through a rapid decline towards the extinction. Thus, languages must be protected at much earlier stage. Arabic dialects such as Zahrani Spoken Arabic (ZSA), and Faifi Spoken Arabic (henceforth, FSA), which are spoken in the southern region of Saudi Arabia, have not been studied, yet. Few people speak these dialects, among many other dialects in the same region. However, the problem is that most these dialects' native speakers are moving to other regions in Saudi Arabia where they use other different dialects. Therefore, are these dialects endangered? What other factors may cause its endangerment? Have they been documented before? What shall we do? This paper discusses three main different points regarding this issue: language and endangerment, languages documentation and description and Arabic language and its family, giving a brief history of Saudi dialects comparing their situation with the whole existing dialects.

  • 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.
