RE: The language of ivrit ( עברית ) Genesis 49, Post #1

Greetings @hebrew ,

Thank you for this lesson from the original Hebrew language. It is interesting no matter how many times one has heard the story...one can learn something new...God's word is alive and powerful....Hebrews 4.12..from the original Greek language.

Oh yes..thank you for the reminder...the Tetragramatin is not to be said..
instead Adonai...Adonai Elohanu ..God..Adonai Ekauth...the Unique One...(reference to Christ Jesus....found Deuteronomy...apologies for the misspellings.

Thank you again.

Kind Regards,

Bleujay

The spirit of God does teach us new things each time we open the book, PDF, or scroll containing his word, more so when we look at it with a lens into the culture and think of his people and the language they spoke. Aramaic or Hebrew (or even Arabic) are old languages that add to our understanding and they are so similar, when spoken, that the differences are like those of the peoples of Britain, Canada or southerners in The States. Some of the words change and certainly the pronunciations a bit, but we can understand each other.

I am glad you stopped in to read what I have to show and say. I am a faithful believer in Yeshua and have read the Christian writings, some in Hebrew. I actually respect Ha Shem enough not to speak The Name in common situations, but I do speak it with bread and wine on the eve of shabbat and the eve of havilah (the end of shabbat). I speak it in songs of praise or reading the word. Not speaking it at all is like going into a store and asking for "the manager" Why? Because we do not know that person of authority who presides there. That is something to think about.

What if nobody spoke or used the name Jesus in their daily lives or at church? Worse, what if everyone said it wrong or butchered the pronunciation? I have visited other countries and hostesses would ask my name for a seating queue then they would both write it and say it wrong. It is not a hard name either. It is widely spoken by all nations and pronounced correctly because it is a name of a well known place. It makes me feel that the person writing it wrong or saying it wrong is a low effort worker.

I appreciated your comment so much that I nearly wrote a post about it. Smiles and Shalom

Greetings @hebrew

Thank you for your kind reply...yes it is nearly a post. Smiles!

Well said...and understood...very true.

I should have written 'Sacred' Tetragrammaton in my previous reply.

Amazing moment to actually dialogue on these things....thank you.

Cheers!
