One of the best places to start learning Hebrew is by learning it's alefbet....  This is your foundation. |

Thank you Samuel for the great link!  I am sure this will be edifying for many that wish to learn Hebrew. Although, am not sure how useful that the "ancient Hebrew" shown on the website will be to most people, as most copies of the TeNaKh are written in the Hebrew found in the chart above. Also, there is some debate in regards to this "ancient Hebrew", or some call it "Paleo Hebrew" in regards to it's validity. There are differing opinions on what the actual ancient alphabet looked like. Here is a chart that shows some of the main differences betweent the different types of Ancient Hebrew: The columns across the top read as follows: 1) Paleo-Phoenician 2) Moabitic 3) Hebraic Ostracea (4th century BCE) 4) Paleo Aramaic 5) Papyri in late Aramaic 6) Palmyrian Aramaic 7) Monumental Nabatean/Aramaic 8) Printed Square Hebrew  Now compare with the chart given at the web link that you provided... www.ancient-hebrew.org/4_chart.htmlShalom aleichem, Reuel |

Shalom all,
Well, I have read and used the ancient hebrew site, and others, mostly as new archeological finds happen I think the gaps will be filled with the discrepancies, but I think overall they are pretty consistant. But a person needs to study the modern hebrew I think before they can really appreciate the Paleo hebrew. I'm sure there are many benefits from both. I have also found starting in Genesis - Bereshith and after you understand the alephbet and vowel points to get an interlinear and start learning your vocab by reading the scriptures. The group I study with has found it very useful, and you will get a better understanding of the scriptures by analyzing and learning each word and the differences. So far it has been very rewarding.
Shalom

Does anyone have any idea where can I take an accredited course in Hebrew through distance learning or correspondance?
I have been searching for awhile but have yet to come up with anything accredited.
Thanks and Shalom,
Sam

Shalom Sam.
Here is what those words mean:
Lechem = bread
- "lechem" in Hebrew translates into English as "bread"
Shivah = 7
- the Hebrew word "shivah" can mean different things depending on the context, but in terms of someone "Sitting Shivah" it means that they are in a period of mourning that lasts for 7 days

Yes, the word can be found in the familiar town know as "Bethlehem" which in Hebrew is known as "Beit-Lechem" which means, "House Of Bread".
You are right about sitting. It means to sit from the root word "yashav". The Hebrew text in Sh'mu'el Bet (2Samuel)19:9 (or in English versions it is verse 8), it says;
"Then the king arose, and sat in the gate. They told to all the people, saying, Behold, the king is sitting in the gate: and all the people came before the king. Now Yisra'el had fled every man to his tent."
The word "sat" in the Hebrew word which is rendered as "yayshev". This is where the Hebrew word "yeshiva" that we are all fimiliar with comes from. A yeshiva is a place where people "sit" down to learn.
Shalom chaverim,
Reuel

I just read it. John is well-learned in regards to the Hebrew language. But, I found some things in this article questionable. I found it interesting that he equates those whom follow the  of our Heavenly Father as found in the the first five books of the Bible and whom believe in Yeshua to be "Ebionites". I would disagree. observant followers of Messiah are simply true Messianic believers. Although, in his article he came down heavier on following Rabbinic Judaism and the traditions of man than actually following . But, his message seems to indicate to the reader that those in Messiah are no longer to follow as found in the first five books of the Bible. At the very least, if he did not intend this, many people would gleam this from the article. John makes the claim against these so called, "Ebionites"... I don't think that Messianic Judaism pushes this agenda as a whole. I think he is confused about what many observant believers in Messiah really believe. Again, most of Messianic Judaism does not teach that the teachings of the "rabbinics" (Rabbinic Judaism) should be followed. All one has to do is visit Messianic Bureau International in which they make this very clear on their home page. Again, John seems to think that observant faith in Yeshua The Messiah focuses on the teaching of Rabbinic Judaism. He should come and fellowship with us and learn what we really believe. I agree with John here. Following the of G'd should be a love passion relationship with the Creator...not a "rule-following" relationship. But, the TeNaKh is clear for both Jew and Gentile, those whom wish to show love to G'd will show it to Him by keeping His commandments. And, Yeshua's commandments are no different from the commandments of His Father. I recommend John's website for learning Hebrew, but I don't recommend relying on this article in regards to observance. Shalom chaverim, Reuel |

I also found it interesting that he used that term. The Ebionites actually split off from the Netzarim (the original followers of Yeshua ben-Yosef) after the destruction of the Temple in 70 C.E. Agreed. Oh, and thanks for those links Sam.  |
