Culturally, it is considered the Jewish language. Hebrew in its modern form is spoken by most of the 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 core of the Torah (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 Language", since ancient times. The modern word "Hebrew" is derived from the word "ivri" (plural "ivrim") one of several names for the Jewish people. It is traditionally understood to be an adjective based on the name of Abraham's ancestor, Eber mentioned in Genesis 10:21. This name is possibly based upon the root "`avar" (עבר) meaning "to cross over" and homiletical interpretations of the term "ivrim" link it to this verb. 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). From Wikipedia under the
GNU Free Documentation License How can I get a phrase translated into hebrew for a tattoo design? Q. I would like to get a quotation from the bible as a tattoo in the original ancient hebrew. 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 - - 5 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 Who are your five favourite characters from the Hebrew Bible, and why? Q. This one is for everyone, theist and atheist (even if you're not Abrahamic): which five people from the Hebrew Bible (or whatever you choose to call it) are your favourite, and why?
