Todah, todah!😊 Thank you very much dear Moreh, that you make it possible to teach Biblical Hebrew in such a kind of structure in relationship not only with theTorah line by line, but also withthe needy interpretation in connection with the whole history of the Tenach. This is the Seder of the Holy Tongue. Todah! May Hashem be with you and with His Inspiration Power. Todah!
That video is certainly a great treasure. Please do not stop making your videos, I am leaning Hebrew at the moment and videos like that are so rare on the internet. This video is amazing. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. Greetings from Brazil <3 :D
Thanks for this, but "the royal we" wasn't used until the middle ages. With the second and third words of the first verse of the Bible, God is showing us He Is One God in Three Persons, since the second word is singular/masculine, snd the third wird is plural use for God. Again, thank you and GOD bless you and everyone 🙏
So glad RU-vid recommended your channel! I've been studying Biblical Hebrew on my own for about 9 months. I'm fascinated by the language but far from being able to read much on my own yet. I love the format of these videos and how you dive so deep into each word! תודה רבה!
Thank you ABA for Illan and family. This site gives us additional insight to His Word. Especially how to speak it properly. We are going around different churches and teaching Basic Biblical Hebrew and one of our teachers have taught over 500 children in the Philippines ! Many Filipinos are praying for your h'aterz. Keep up the good work in the Lord.
How when anyone talks in a respectful manner, the language would make it plural in Spanish to show respect is a special singular word, the Jews have a hard time accepting the Torah as it is written, they constantly making up their own interpretation instead of face value..
Oh wow God has a Spirit, Elohim God is plural, Abraham was giving God food and Jacob fought God, that makes God The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, also God created Adam in" OUR image".
Did you know the Bible says “the gift of God is eternal life”(Rom6:23)? To understand this, answer this questions. Have you ever lied, stolen or used God’s name in vain?Jesus said.”Whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.” If you have done this things, God sees you as a lying, thieving, blasphemous adulterer at heart, and He will punish you in a terrible place called Hell. But He is not willing that any should perish. Sinners broke God’s Law but here’s the gospel (good news)-Jesus paid their fine. This means their case can be dismissed:”God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” Then Jesus rose from the dead, defeated death.Today, repent and trust Jesus, and God will give you eternal life. Then read the Bible daily and obey it. God will never fail you. livingwaters.com
Hi, looking forward to your next video. This might be of interest to you, Linguistic mistranslation in the Greek Revelation. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ue8LC0-6Gyo.htmlsi=5n97BOWMfm_2ARgI
@@TheBibleInHebrew thank you and shalom i always consider the idea of its been first fruit with the idea of resh which is head. also one prospect i had as well was because of Rosh hoshana
Thanks my friend . I love your work. My guess on merakephet is based on Tesla & quantum physics… since energy is vibration .. I see it as vibrating though hovering while vibrating is possible.. this also lays the groundwork for this text & the Big Bang as being the same , so both work for me (& it’s an interesting coincidence that u mention Mayim Bialik who was in the latter lol) incidentally I’m building a website & courses to show that science & spirituality can be the same .. which is probably how I found myself learning Hebrew in the 1st place)
I was taught that BeResheet means in begining and not in THE beginning indicating time. The aramaic word for beginning is origin and perhaps originally by just being. Howevet I enjoyed you lesson. Ki Tav. Im not fluent in Ivrit vernacular eihert This is just my opinion. 🙏
Thank you … I’m not Jewish in this incarnation, but I do see that this language is a gift from our creator & as pure as I’ve experienced ( & it is a multi de Imensional experience) . I believe All who want to understand our creator, we the creation & how we can create need to understand the Bible in Hebrew . It’s a beautiful energy code. Thank you for helping me to enhance my understanding (& it’s obvious anyone who wants to read the Old Testament is not doing that if they are not both reading it in Hebrew but also understanding the gematria.
Thank you so much for the comment! This channel is about linguistics and giving access to this aspect to non-speakers. I do believe, however, that a lot of my fellow Hebrew speakers do not fully comprehend the gift they have.
Nice work . Thanks 🙏🏽 I like the logic you use for selecting the definitions of the words & the way you use contemporary examples for some of the words.. My purpose is to understand the code that is the Bible , but it’s great to think I might also be able to say a few things to my Hebrew speaking friends.
Then you should ancient Hebrew text and not modern to explain it better. Word in Hebrew have changed their meanings over the centuries. And many scholars will not explain this.
I enjoyed this video. _"Kind of a compromise"_ got a chuckle from me. This first chapter of the Bible is a doozy. Its depth of meanings is amazing. *If* I had to pick only one chapter of the Bible, to study in the original language, it'd be this chapter.
@@TheBibleInHebrew I already am following your channel. We've already commented back and forth before. I am an avid reader and Biblical student... and been so since I was 10 or 11, and am now 71. Anything and everything, that has true content, is on my list. _(I'm so nerdy about it, I read archaeological review papers. You can't go deep enough for my tastes.)_
Very interesting translation of tohu is offered by Septuagint. These Rabbis thought that aoratos (invisible) best describes then meaning of tohu, which during centuries could change its meaning or even loose it completely as we can see in your extensive expertise. But if we look at the usage of aoratos in the Bible we can see that it is very appropriate; for example Rom.1:20 God's "invisible attributes" Col.1:15 "invisible God"Col.1:16 created things "visible an invisible". If we add to this fact that Adam's body was created as "soma psychikos" (being different from our soma sarkikos) this may explain why they started to perceive their nakedness after sin, when they became flesh. 1Cor.15.:44
These are the best Biblical Hebrew lessons I have found for self taught people. I like that you go immediately in to the text, exactly what I have been searching for. Thank you so much and pleas do not stop to continue. Ladislav from Czech Republic
Very well done. I really like that you go into the etymology of the words, showing the various options, or meanings, that they can have. And thus; the possible interpretations that a verse, a sentence can have. You are leaving it up to your viewers to decide which they prefer, while also teaching; that scripture in Hebrew is like an onion, layer upon layer, upon layer, that can be peeled back to study. Sometimes, words or sentence have multiple co-existing, compatible, and valid meanings. _(For me, Genesis chapter one in English is rather bland. It's in Hebrew that you really get to see substance.)_
Dear Ilan, I really hope that everything is alright with you and your family. Please keep doing your videos, if you can. You're a great teacher! תודה רבה
I like that you want to keep Shamayim as sky _(or skies),_ and that you are questioning eretz meaning Earth, rather that it should be _"the land."_ Add _the skies_ and _the land_ then together, and the modern word in present-day English would be; _"ecosphere."_ As in; that land, water, and air, which can sustain life. But what I have a question for you is; Bara is a three letter root word. It is in the Tanakh 54 times, only once translated as _"create,"_ and 53 times translated as fill/fatten. Then to define bara down further; You fill a bottle with wine, and you have a wine bottle. Fill it with water, a water bottle. You are giving what you fill; purpose and function. Then when we come later to the abstract of _"good,"_ we now have a definer. The abstract having no definitive definition, but given a definer, then has one. Each of the 7; fulfills their purpose and function _"good."_ It gives B'reshith chapter one then a new meaning. Firstly; Hashem made all with purpose and function. _(Purpose and function being a thread that runs all through law, prophets, and writings.)_ Secondly, chapter one is only part of the creation story. _(The rest, prior to that is untold. We only know through multiple verses that; Hashem created the heavens and the earth, and all things in them, known and unknown, seen and unseen.)_ Ps. Not only does verse one have 7 words; ET is the center word, with both sides of it having then the same mathematical values. And then _(drum roll);_ Product of letters x number of letters, divided by product of words x number of words = PI _(π)_ within a variance of 0.0012%. _(Which takes PI out to who knows how many places behind that decimal point... My math isn't that good.)_
Thanks for your perspective on the verse. Bara often means "created", virtually all in the context of The Creation (~ 40 times). It also means fat, e.g. the cows in Genesis 41:2 (~ 14 times). And the root is also used to describe clearing forests.
@@TheBibleInHebrew Yes, I also did a reverse translation, using the _(online)_ Blue Letter Bible, where _"create"_ is used. Create is used 55 times in the King James version. But, when I look at what the word _"create"_ is replacing, it's all over the place. It is replacing; asah, yatsar, and bānáh. But only once; bara. So replacing actually; make, form, and build. And lastly, in Genesis chapter one, there is already an earth. And for all tense and purposes, sun, stars, and moon, just not visible from earth...our narrative given perspective. Which is logical using astrophysics. An early stage in earth's creation, especially as described in Genesis chapter one, on the surface, there would be no light visible to the naked eye. Hashem would have to separate things first. _(Which he does.)_ Three days of separating things, then three days of _"filling"_ earth with his _"creation."_ The days listed don't have a definite article _(the or Ha/E)._ Therefore in translating, they have a indefinite article, as in _"a first day, a second day, a third day... and so on."_ Thus might not be in any set order. Just any Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and so on. My thinking is; that the _"Greeks"_ who first translated Genesis, wanted a _"Greek style"_ version of creation. Thus; forced certain Hebrew words to evolve, to fit that narrative. 2,300 years later, theirs is the majority view. But the problem with it is; Young Earth Creationists base their thoughts on that version, and not that which is also an option, and maybe the more accurate one. Logically, you don't have to agree with me. Just food for thought...
@@michaelwittkopp3379 thank you a lot. Your view amazed me. If we read the bible in the original language we can unfold layers and layers of meaning and often science just discovers things that are already written down for thousands of years. No other book is so rich and powerful. Glory to the ONE who inspired this divine book! He is the Only One to be worshipped and adored! 👑✨ And thanks to Ilan to translate it for us Non-Speakers. I feel like a dry sponge longing to soak in all the information I can get.
Hi Llan, Shalom 🙏 I'm looking forward to watching your channel grow and participating in the learning modules as you present them. I'm currently studying /learning the Hebrew language and understand that there are many layers to work through. Having several transliterated versions as well as the JPS Hebrew-English TANAKH תנייך ; I'm keen to gain a more in depth understanding in this amazing language. As a note: I've picked up in my research (please don't ask me to recall where) that the use of את throughout scripture is to remind us that Yehoshua Ha Mashiach; being the א and the ת is the beginning and the end; "the first and the last". Isaiah 48:12 "I AM the א and the ת" says the LORD. Revelation 1:8 Please keep these highly informative studies coming, we all need to keep in mind; we are one flock with ONE Shepherd. God bless 🙏 💝
