Culturally, it is considered a Jewish language. Hebrew in its modern form is spoken by more than seven million people in Israel while Classical Hebrew has been used for prayer or study in Jewish communities around the world for over two thousand years. It is one of the official languages of Israel, along with Arabic. Ancient Hebrew is also the liturgical tongue of the Samaritans, while modern Hebrew or Palestinian Arabic is their vernacular, though today about 700 Samaritans remain. As a foreign language it is studied mostly by Jews and students of Judaism and Israel, archaeologists and linguists specializing in the Middle East and its civilizations, by theologians, and in Christian seminaries. The modern word "Hebrew" is derived from the word "ivri" which in turn may be based upon the root "`avar" (עבר) meaning "to cross over". The related name Ever occurs in Genesis 10:21 and possibly means "the one who traverses". In the Bible "Hebrew" is called Yehudith (יהודית) because Judah (Yehuda) was the surviving kingdom at the time of the quotation, late 8th century BCE (Is 36, 2 Kings 18). In Isaiah 19:18, it is also called the "Language of Canaan" (שְׂפַת כְּנַעַן) The core of the Tanakh (the Hebrew Bible) is written in Classical Hebrew, and much of its present form is specifically the dialect of Biblical Hebrew that scholars believe flourished around the 6th century BCE, around the time of the Babylonian exile. For this reason, Hebrew has been referred to by Jews as Leshon HaKodesh (לשון הקודש), "The Holy Tongue", since ancient times. From Wikipedia under the

Does anybody know how to go about it? The quote is "Thou mayest rule over sin". Are there different versions of the Hebrew alphabet and which one would be the most appropriate. Asked by April - Fri Jan 5 05:09:59 2007 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments A. This is not the exact quotation. This phrase is from John Steinbeck's "East of Eden", and it refers to the sayings of god the Cain (about the sin that he might do) in Genesis 4:7: "thou shalt rule over him" (King James), or "do you rule over him" (The American Standard). "Thou mayest rule" is Steinbeck's interpretation for the Hebrew word "timshal" ( ), and the rest of the sentence, "...over sin", is rewriting of the original phrase that says "and thou mayest rule over him" (the sin that is mentioned earlier in the verse). Now, the Hebrew translation of "Thou mayest rule over sin" is: " " (with vowels: )- "ve'atah timshal ba'chet"; but that is not the original phrase. The original verse is: "If thou doest well, shalt thou not be… [cont.] Answered by yotg - Fri Jan 5 08:32:17 2007 What is the best way to learn Hebrew fast? Q.
