Hebrew Glossary Then name Ashkenaz (Bereishit 10:3) has since the 10th century been identified with Germany. As the German and French Jews of the medieval period formed a uniform group in culture and religious customs, they were all referred to as Ashkenazim in contradistinction to the Sefardim or Spanish- Portuguese Jews. Ashkenazim are the people who use Nusach Ashkenaz, the prayer arrangement adopted by the medieval Franco-German Jews, including certain variations described as belonging to the Polish custom (Minhag Polin). The Ashkenazim in Eastern Europe developed an intense religious life, disseminating Talmudic scholarship among the people to a degree never before surpassed in Jewish history. Chasidim and Mithnaggedim and followers of the Haskalah movement (Maskilim) presented a changing pattern of types, trends and ideologies. The vitality of the Ashkenazim still dominates wherever they are transplanted.
Learning New Testament Greek: Nouns, Articles, and Position We have already defined nouns in a previous lesson, but let's repeat the definition here: Nounsare words that describe people, places, or things. Here are some English nouns: book, person, chewing-gum, country, county, city, road, field, justice, peace, language, concept, man, woman, god, programmer, linguist. In the first lesson, we learned a few Greek nouns: Articlesare those little words in front of the noun. In English, there are two articles: "the" is the definite article, and "a" is the indefinite article. Positionmeans just what the word implies, and refers to the position with respect to the article and a noun. Nouns A full understanding of Greek nouns requires us to know some Greek nouns. When you learn nouns, always learn the form of the article that goes along with it. Let's get out the good old gizmoand practice these nouns: And now let's translate from English into Greek: Now let's learn a second set of nouns: Practice by translating the Greek into English: Subject first: Matt 4:4
Hebrew for Christians - Learn Hebrew for FREE! Hebrew Alphabet The Hebrew and Yiddish languages use a different alphabet than English. The picture below illustrates the Hebrew alphabet, in Hebrew alphabetical order. Note that Hebrew is written from right to left, rather than left to right as in English, so Alef is the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet and Tav is the last. Letters of the Alefbet Table 1: The Hebrew Alphabet If this sounds like Greek to you, you're not far off! The "Kh" and the "Ch" are pronounced as in German or Scottish, a throat clearing noise, not as the "ch" in "chair." Note that there are two versions of some letters. Vowels and Points Like most early Semitic alphabetic writing systems, the alefbet has no vowels. However, as Hebrew literacy declined, particularly after the Romans expelled the Jews from Israel, the rabbis recognized the need for aids to pronunciation, so they developed a system of dots and dashes called nikkud (points). Table 2: Vowel Points Most nikkud are used to indicate vowels. Vowel points are shown in blue.

Q: Which version of the Bible do you use/recommend? A: Frequently we are asked about Bible versions--which is best, which is most accurate, which do we recommend. Unfortunately, often those who ask have already made up their mind and use the Bible version issue as a kind of litmus test for doctrinal purity. That does not speak well for where this issue has taken the Church. The Bible version issue is far more complicated than most people understand. Take this little quiz. Contrary to what I have read in some booklets, Bible translators for some of the versions were not homosexuals who wanted to remove the blood from the Bible. While the original writings of Paul, Moses, Peter, etc. do not exist today (they are called the "autographs" of Scripture), there are plenty of copies of these autographs and copies of copies. The KJV was generally translated from an older family, but one in which very few manuscripts exist. Which Bible version does Back to the Bible use? But as Dr. Back to Bible Questions
