Hebrew Language Jewels

The Old Testament

was written in Hebrew.

Obviously those who read Hebrew

are going to glean more insights into the Old Testament

than

those who do not read Hebrew.

Learning even a little knowledge

of Hebrew

brings out "hidden richness" in the Scriptures.

This page is presented to help you

glean

some of the hidden richness.

 

The Hebrew language is written from right to left.

So if I wrote the word "Genesis" from right to left

with English letters,

it would look like this:

There are 22 letters in the Hebrew alphabet.

More Hebrew Insights

On the September 6, 2014 entry on my blog,

I gave a short Hebrew grammar lesson.

It is written for you below:

Knowing a little Hebrew

increases

our understanding and enjoyment

of the study of God.

There are three ways in Hebrew to say that someone is THE BEST.

If you want to say that someone is the best carpenter, you could say it three ways:

1. He is a carpenter of carpenters.
2. He is The Carpenter.
3. He is a Great, Great, Great carpenter.

In the first instance, you use the word "of."

For example, we say Jesus is:

The King of Kings - That means he is the highest King.

The second instance, you use the word "the."

Jesus is The Savior - That means Jesus is the highest Savior.

The third instance, you say a word three times:

The Lord is Holy, Holy, Holy - That means the Lord is the most holy.

Psalm 103

Below is Psalm 103

sung in Hebrew.

This Psalm has a beautiful verse about

God's Healing.

Bless the Lord, O my soul;
And all that is within me, bless His holy name!
² Bless the Lord, O my soul,
And forget not all His benefits:
³ Who forgives all your iniquities,
Who heals all your diseases,
⁴ Who redeems your life from destruction,
Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies,
⁵ Who satisfies your mouth with good things,
So that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

I encourage you to often pray those verses.

The Hebrew words are written in

Hebrew

Then underneath the Hebrew words are words that are

transliterated words

(that means using English letters for Jewish sounds so you can sound out the Hebrew words so you can sing along)

and then finally the words are written in

tradition English

so you can understand what is being sung.

Take Note:

Many Jewish people,

 - even those who have received Jesus as their Savior - 

still continue the Jewish tradition

of honoring God

by writing the name of God without vowels.

For example:

G-d or L-RD
