Basics of Biblical Hebrew - Session 1 - The Hebrew Alphabet 

I just found this today. I'm extremely curious how your efforts have gone in the past 5 months! EDIT: If you'd be willing to share, that is...didn't mean to come across so presumptuous! lol

..........***Greetings, Beloved of God. This message is lengthy but, it is very important. The ancient Israelite was tested by the Sabbath commandment to see if they would keep God’s law or no in Exodus 16:4- Do not be surprised if God allow man to do a similar test, enforce some type of Sabbath law to see if we will keep His law or no. ************************************************ Right now, we all do not see eye to eye, but, please hear me out.............. There is no way anyone can prove from the KJV Bible that Saturday, Sunday, etc. is the biblical seventh day Sabbaths. For, the words Saturday, Sunday, etc. do not appear in the Bible. A continuous Saturday, Sunday, etc., “man made Sabbaths” ARE NOT the true Bible Sabbaths because they are not calculated by true time. God’s true time is written in Genesis 1:14. When God commanded us to keep a seventh day Sabbath, kill the Passover on the 14th day of the first month, keep the day of atonement on the 10th day of the seventh month, etc......would He not have given us a calendar/Time to find these dates? Yes, He would have and He did, in Genesis 1:14. We are commanded to keep the days, years, etc. by the lights in heaven (the sun, moon and stars.) God did not specify which days, so, we must conclude that He meant for all of His 3 category of days to be kept by the lights in heaven. *********** The Sabbath command is one of the Ten Commandments listed in Exodus 20. It is just as important as the other nine and God commands us to keep it. Multitudes of people think and teach that we are only required to keep 9 of God’s Ten Commandments. My Friend, if we think this way, we are already deceived. ***************************************************************************************************************** ***The Sabbath is a feast. Leviticus 23:1-3 ***The moon is for seasons. Psalms 104:19 ***The lights in heaven are for seasons, etc. Genesis 1:14 ***The words “feast” and “season” comes from the same Hebrew word, MOED. ***MOED is, appointed times, appointments, feast, season, etc. The Sabbath is a MOED, an appointed time , a feast, a season, etc. Therefore, the moon, along with the other lights in heaven, are for Sabbaths. THE SABBATH IS TO BE CALCULATED BY THE TIME GOD ORDAINED IN THE BEGINNING OF CREATION NOT BY MAN’S TIME/CALENDARS. Who can prove from Genesis 1:14 that the Sabbath day is not calculated by the lights in heaven? Although many have tried, it cannot be refuted!! Take a glimpse at the dates in Genesis 7:11 and Genesis 8:4,13,14. Are these dates calculated by the Time God commanded in Genesis 1:14 or by the Gregorian time or some other man made time? ********** There are about 167 countries that keep Sunday as the seventh day and the remaining, approximately, 64 countries keep Saturday as the seventh day. If there is a “seventh day Sunday law” enforced and the remaining 64 countries change their calendars to read Sunday as the seventh day, then, the world will be keeping Sunday the seventh day as the Sabbath. Mon. Tue. Wed. Thur. Fri. Sat. Sunday Law 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7 What day will you and I then keep as the Sabbath? Already today, there are “Sunday Blue Laws” on government books. Man can change “their” time anytime and deceive the world under the leadership of Satan. We must calculate God’s Sabbath by God’s Time so The Great Deceiver can not trick us about the true Sabbath and “cause” us to worship him. “ He will think to change time and laws.” says Daniel 7:25 He only “THOUGHT” to change time when He “supposedly” had replaced God’s calendar with his calendar on earth. For he could not and has not truly change time because God’s Time sits in the heavens where no man can tamper with it! The sun, moon and stars, the lights in heaven, are God’s Time/Calendar. *********** God’s Calendar has three category of days, the new moon day, the six work days and the Sabbath day. 2 Kings 4:18-23 & Ezekiel 46:1-3. The new moon day is the first day of the month, the beginning of months. These days never, ever, ever overlaps each other on God’s Time! ........However, this is not true on the famous Gregorian calendar. The new moon day falls anywhere and everywhere on that calendar, in a given month. For example, sometimes, the new moon day falls on a “man made Saturday Sabbath”, on a “man made Sunday Sabbath”, in the midst of the month, etc. How can it both be the first day of the month and the seventh day Sabbath? How can the first day of the month start in the midst of a month? God said in Genesis 1:14 to, let the lights in heaven be for days, etc. So, which one or ones of God’s three category of days are kept by the lights in heaven? ...The new moon day? ...The six work days? ...The Sabbath day? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Example of God’s months: 1st week... new moon day, six work days and Sabbath day 2nd, 3rd, 4th weeks....six work days and Sabbath day The next month the cycle starts over. God’s months reset. Read Luke 6:1 Man uses this same concept. For example: The 1st and 3rd Sunday in August, the 1st and 3rd Sunday in September.” “The 2nd and 4th Sabbath in April, the 2nd and 4th Sabbath in May.” Note: There is never, never, ever, ever, 5 weekly Sabbaths in any one of God’s months. This is not true on the Gregorian calendar. Sometimes, there are 5 weekly “Gregorian Sabbaths.” This is not in align with true time. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I believe there is a great deception coming to get people to worship Satan through a false Calendar/Sabbath controversy. God is a God of truth. God guides people by His truth. God’s Word is truth. Truth is our shield and buckler. Truth will keep us from all deceptions, the mark of beast, etc. Christ did not suffer on the cross for us to walk in a lie and continue to cling to our traditions! He did not die for us to obey the “voice of man” above “the voice of God!” Read the stories about “King Saul” in 1 Samuel 15 and the “man of God” in 1 king 13. Let us learn a lesson from these testimonies....Obey God’s Voice! When we do and teach man’s commandments for doctrine, it is vain! It is useless! God does not honor it! There will be no reward! Again! there is a great possibility some type of “Man made Sabbath Law” could be enforced. These latter days crises seems to be pointing in that direction. If this is not true, then, we do not have to worry about it......But..... ....If it is truth then, we need to become more knowledgeable about this subject in order to make the right decision whom we will honor and serve. A Sabbath test will reveal those who believe Gods Word and those who do not. Whether there is or whether there is not a “Sabbath Test”, we still need to know the truth about God’s Time written in the Word of God so we can be obedient in all things. ***Worship Him that made heaven, earth and sea. ***Babylon is fallen! Babylon is fallen! ***Do not worship the Beast and receive his mark, whosoever does, will be eternal lost and be burnt with fire and brimstone. ****Read Revelation 13 & 14 This truth about God’s Calendar/Time and The Sabbath written in Genesis 1:14, Leviticus 23:1-3, Psalms 104:19, etc.is spreading throughout the four corners of the earth. This message enrages many who claim to be followers of Christ because they can not refute it. It seems, the people outside the church buildings are the ones eagerly accepting it and believing it. Please let us consider what is being said here and further research this important subject before it is to late. Peace and Love Friends of God

​​@@heeshammahseem6614סליחה?

👊🏾

So clear, concise, comprehensive!!

סליחה, אני מצטערת

זה יותר קשה ממה שאתה חושב, תאמין לי. 😅

I'm guessing you speak Hebrew in the exact way that people spoke in 800 BC. Because if you are not then you are doing it wrong too. lol

AMEN

Amen.

Even then, the pronunciations are different among different groups in America.

It's more likely that Jesus spoke Aramaic en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Language_of_Jesus

He spoke both Hebrew and aramaic

Biblical Hebrew is the closest to Aramaic that Jesus spoke in his time.

He spoke King James English. Everyone knows this. 🤣

Do we have session 2?

Nope because j in Spanish is pronounced like a khaf or in modern Hebrew a khet too. Not a hei which is just an 'h'

It has to do with different regional dialects for all languages, including Hebrew and Spanish.

Do you have an resource links that can explain this more detailed?

@@lauratempestini5719 My advice is to type any questions you have directly into Google or duck, duck, goose because RU-vid doesn't allow us to share links anymore since they're censoring everything.

In some Jewish cultures they've always pronounced the vav as 'waw', and like he says ~ 12:46 Biblical or historical Hebrew pronounced it as 'w' but modern Hebrew pronounces it as 'v'. However, I learned it as 'v' in Hebrew school where our teachers were Israelis.

All of the lessons was previously up, on someone else's channel I think. But it seems zondervan took them down, probably because someone else had posted then instead of zondervan. It's sad though, cause I really was helped by them.

As a Jew who's listened to Hebrew dialects including the Yemenite and Samaritan ones I agree with you on this too

Well technically we call the Hebrew alphabet the alef-bet which does sound a bit like the alphabet but if you know your history well you'll know there have been many times that Hellenistic and Jewish cultures have clashed over the years

@@tzvi7989 that’s right, over time the Hebrew script recruited consonant symbols like א or ה to represent vowel sounds. This was done in imitation of / influenced by true alphabets like Greek and allows modern Hebrew script to function almost like a true alphabet:)

You have to purchase the lecture on either Logos, Amazon Prime or Zondervan Masterclass. The cheapest I've researched is in Amazon Prime for around $170

Ok

I m starting this week, i need motivation, maybe meet once a week?

תהיה בעולם הזה, לא מהעולם הזה.

Tbf tho Yemenite Jews and Samaritans still pronounce it as a Waw but only when praying

Literally the only sign this is biblical Hebrew and not modern is the ו being waw not vav

His pronunciation of a ghimmel is also incorrect

Yes.

He explained that in the video. This is the difference between the traditional(biblical) and modern pronounciations

@@escrituratalks though not quite as he probably can't vocalise some of the consonants that were different in biblical Hebrew (and I really mean masoretic Tiberian Hebrew here)

I found this video informative. It briefly traces the use of vav and vet as interchangeable in the Tanakh. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0td4d2UGP0k.html

That's because there isn't one Vav is pronounced v as in vine

For me, this does not sound the west EU, but north American.

you can't comment much on accents if you think this man sounds european lmao

The gimmel without a dagesh is also pronounced like an Arabic ghayin too which sounds nothing like aghast

I've heard them say 'wow' in videos I've heard them say 'Yahweh' for YHVH.

@@websurfer5772 Thanks, Yahweh is the English translation. I'm looking for the right way to say YHVH as it would have been said at the time. It's probably lost, but there must be a good approximation. When I've heard it said in Hebrew it sounds like 'wah'. I've not heard it pronounced like a wow, when the name is spoken, which is what I hear here. I may well be missing something as the man giving the lecture clearly knows his subject matter.

@@ald6409 I was just wondering about the original pronunciation of YHVH as well earlier this week when I started reading the Hebrew-English Interlinear Torah online. They write YHVH as Yud, Hay, Vav, Hay with two dots under the first letter Yud, which is a schwa /ə/ , then no vowel under the Hay, then the 'ah' vowel under the Vav, then no vowel under the last Hay. I call the letter they're saying is 'waw' as 'vav' which I believe is the original way to say it and I learned it that way in Hebrew school. For that discussion, check out the following video at 3:00 - The Pronunciation of the Hebrew Letter Vav (Nehemiah Gordon) The Torah I'm reading says that Yud Hay Vav Hay is transliterated as Yahweh. If I read what they've written in Hebrew, to me it says Yəhəvah. Yəhudi is Hebrew for Jewish by the way and I think it's interesting that my pronunciation of YHVH is closer to that word.

@@websurfer5772 Thanks for that. I think YHVH would be the transliteration, Yahweh a translation? I can't understand the Wow here. I thought maybe because it's Biblical Hebrew, so an older pronunciation. It says Vav in the following video and that is what I have heard normally when hearing Yahweh said in Hebrew (the link in your post just go's to the video on this page by the way)? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Uz_m118Yheg.html

@@ald6409 Sorry about the link. I have no idea now where I meant to send you instead. There's different theories as to how vav became 'wow'. I can't remember what I'd looked up about it now.

Yes, you are right. The alphabet we learn here is called "Hebrew alphabet", but in reality it is the "Aramaic alphabet". The real Hebrew alphabet, also called paleo-Hebrew, is much older. So the "Hebrew alphabet" we learn here, ist not the oldest alphabet. Just study the development of the alphabet. There are other simular older alphabets.

And only the Samaritans use the paleo-hebrew script today in their prayers and for their Torahs

From my understanding it is taw since there is no v in "biblical" hebrew.

But I believe it's pronounced the same way letter for letter.

W is more ancient.

@@YannahYahyel I happen to see that you're into astrology and mantras on your page. I say this out of concern only, please research these things. They're pagan. There are images of eastern gods on some of these videos. I was once into all of these things as well and it truly took the holy Spirit to wake me up to the reality of what they were.

What’s the difference

myrrhsense does it matter much, given Biblical Hebrew is a discipline geared toward reading? Consistency in pronunciation is key, really.

is biblical hebrew different from modern one?

@@vasorotto19 Yes, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modern_Hebrew

You pronounce it with an accent just the same

@@0x44Monad No

@@0x44Monadno I disagree. You can easily distinguish the difference
