1 All Nations Spoke this Language - The Original Language This topic heavily debated about because there are some who view language as "Evolutionary", meaning it started very Primitive and then Evolved. Now, I named my book and website “Primitive Sign Language” because Primitive means "first and original". I am not implying that the first language was basic, on the contrary, we have fallen in our language skills because the letters we use (in any and all languages) have no meaning (or in Asia too many letters, the people with the with the most illiteracy) and the rules change every so often years. Also, words are borrowed from other languages corrupting the language yet more. You need a dictionary to explain the origins of a word to be able to pronounce it and understand its meaning because the letters do not have any meaning. The first language of all mankind, the one which Noah spoke, defined words by their symbols. Long story short, language has not evolved, it has become "CONFUSED" and it is in decline as far as common sense is concerned. Every nation is speaking a confused a language. Humans no longer use these symbols... although, it is now making its way back with the efforts of many bible believers. The bible preserved the Ancient Hebrew Symbols above which coincide with these letters. All you need to do is switch over the fonts. This works only because the Ancient Symbols were the Original Biblical Hebrew Letters. I have been calling the letters "Ancient Hebrew" up until this point, but if I am to be honest and truthful ...

The language did not require a name to distinguish it from another. It was just called "speech". Genesis 11: 1And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech. ויהי כל הארץ שפה אחת ודברים אחדים׃ Shem, Ham & Japheth Spoke One Language The founding fathers of the nations of the world were brothers. They were the sons of Noah.

So the evidence that they put out will come from this standpoint. They start with their Assumptions which is a Religious Belief, they call it by a fancy name "Hypothesis". Atheist believe they are a Alaheym within themselves. They believe they are the Alaheym who Created themselves. Look up "Intelligent Design Theory" to see that it has been Scientifically proven that there is a Alaheym and that he created everything we see. This type of theory is not allowed in schools, although it is scientific. If you believe in it, you are being religious, even though they believe they are Alaheyms. Isaiah 29: 11And the vision of all is become unto you as the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one that is learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I cannot; for it is sealed: 12And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned. 13Wherefore Yahuah said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men: By Itharey.com / PrimitiveSignLanguage.com – share freely but don’t alter 4 All Nations Spoke this Language - The Original Language DID YOU REMOVE YOUR BELIEF IN YAHUAH BECAUSE OF SCIENCE? 14Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous work among this people, even a marvellous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid. 15Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from Yahuah, and their works are in the dark, and they say, Who seeth us? and who knoweth us? 16Surely your turning of things upside down shall be esteemed as the potter's clay: for shall the work say of him that made it, He made me not? or shall the thing framed say of him that framed it, He had no understanding? Yahuah created Everything. This has been scientifically proven. As he made life on earth intelligent, he also made man intelligent. After Adam was made, Yahuah sent him the animals to name. - Thus proven, Adam was endowed with language from creation.

Ecclesiastic 11:5 As thou knowest not what is the way of the spirit, nor how the bones do grow in the womb of her that is with child: even so thou knowest not the works of Alaheym who maketh all.

  • MESHA STELE. Discovered at Dhiban in 1868 by a Protestant Missionary

    MESHA STELE. Discovered at Dhiban in 1868 by a Protestant Missionary

    MESHA STELE. Discovered at Dhiban in 1868 by a Protestant missionary traveling in Transjordan, the 35-line Mesha Inscription (hereafter MI, sometimes called the Moabite Stone) remains the longest-known royal inscription from the Iron Age discovered in the area of greater Palestine. As such, it has been examined repeatedly by scholars and is available in a number of modern translations (ANET, DOTT). Formally, the MI is like other royal inscriptions of a dedicatory nature from the period. Mesha, king of Moab, recounts the favor of Moab's chief deity, Chemosh (Kemosh), in delivering Moab from the control of its neighbor, Israel. While the MI contains considerable historical detail, formal parallels suggest the Moabite king was selective in arranging the sequence of events to serve his main purpose of honoring Chemosh. This purpose is indicated by lines 3-4 of the MI, where Mesha says that he erected the stele at the "high place" in Qarh\oh, which had been built to venerate Chemosh. The date of the MI can be set with a 20-30-year variance. It must have been written either just before the Israelite king Ahab's death (ca. 853/852 B.C.) or a decade or so after his demise. The reference to Ahab is indicated by the reference in line 8 to Omri's "son," or perhaps "sons" (unfortunately, without some additional information, it is impossible to tell morphologically whether the word [bnh] is singular or plural). Ahab apparently died not long after the battle of Qarqar, in the spring of 853, when a coalition of states in S Syria/Palestine, of which Ahab was a leader, faced the encroaching Assyrians under Shalmaneser III.

Vanderhooft, Ph.D. In this dissertation, I explore the metaphorical value of law in the Hebrew Bible and Hellenistic Jewish literature. While the study of biblical law and Hellenistic Jewish halakah is well established, less attention has been paid to the intentional use of legal diction to create legal metaphors—metaphors that draw upon legal language for the sake of generating new ethical and theological insights. My argument is based upon Roger White’s theory of metaphor which states that a metaphor juxtaposes two otherwise unrelated vocabularies in order to produce new meaning. Thus, I draw upon comparative study of ancient Near Eastern law as a means of understanding the register of biblical Hebrew legal diction concerning land tenure and inheritance.

    “And It Happened Like This”: Summary and Unfolding in Biblical Hebrew Narrative Structure

    DOI: https://doi.org/10.28977/jbtr.2014.10.35.268 268 성경원문연구 제35호 “And It Happened Like This”: Summary and Unfolding in Biblical Hebrew Narrative Structure Robert A. Bascom* 1. Introduction First we will make a brief digression into biblical poetry: James Kugel titles the opening chapter to his famous work The Idea of Biblical Poetry “The Parallelistic Line: ‘A is so, and what’s more, B’.” He goes on to qualify this in many ways (as there are indeed many kinds of parallel structures in the Hebrew Bible), yet he maintains that the basic structure or parallelism is still this A, what’s more, B pattern: “ ‘What’s more’ is in itself an inexact version of the concept of subjunction. But it has been stressed in the belief that this approach ultimately leads to a proper orientation toward all [poetic] lines.”1) Robert Alter agrees with Kugel in this regard. Alter uses as the basis of his analysis of parallelism those couplets which contain numbers (3,4; 7,8) which he rightly asserts overwhelmingly support an intensification in the second line of biblical Hebrew poetry: “...the logic of numbers in parallel versets is not equivalence but an assertion of a fortiori, ‘how much more so’, and this impulse to intensification is also the motor force in thousands of lines of biblical poetry where no numbers are present.”2) Neither Kugel nor Alter base their arguments for this “motor force” on specific grammatical relationships or structures (though Kugel in particular does make use of grammar for the analysis of specific parallel lines).
