Welcome back to my DTube Hebrew reading & language series.
The full study is now on line covering the Alef-Beyt here in my blog. This is a beginners program to teach letters, vowels, and reading. The vowels are marked in this bible and are designed to help avoid confusion on what a word is and how it is pronounced. The confusion is obvious in the hundreds of interpretations globally. In modern Hebrew, only children need a niqqud or vowel marking for each letter. Old manuscripts also usually have vowels marked.
This week's reading is from Genesis 1:17 and onward.
When you got to the DTube video, you will find the words covered in this lesson in their context.
We are mid-sentence as God put the stars in the expanse and went on to make a separation between light and darkness. These are the vocabulary words for today. I really try to keep the lessons short so we can learn just a few things, not too much, each time we read.
By now, you should start to recognize that what looks like one Hebrew word, is a group of English words or a construct in some cases. Various forms of the letter vav mean and or on or in at the beginning. Many many sentences begin with and, which is the vav (or the interpretation of it).
Why so many interpretations?
English has over a hundred and fifty prepositions, but Latin languages have much fewer, about fifteen, and Hebrew has roughly fifty if you try not to count the ones that repeat while trying to match the English meaning or vice versa. For now, we are not memorizing lists, but running across things as we go.
Below, if I have my lines straight and in the right colors, you will see that the beyt is interpreted as over in both cases though it is pronounced "bah" in the first case and "vah" in the second. The vav means "and" even though it has an "ooh" sound as in "voodoo". The reason is similar to our reason for saying "an apple" instead of A Apple. Get used to it. Vav is a versatile letter.
Did you notice that the interpretor of this Tanakh, has added the word "the" to both "day" and "night". The familiar hey in the Hebrew is not present or needed here. The English sounds better as "over the day" so it is there. Hebrew sounds better without it. This is all part of learning a language.
Darkness and Light
Here we have "the" at the beginning of each word, "the light" and "the darkness" because it sounds better that way in both languages. Note also that the vowel is different under each Hebrew letter 'hey', even so the both signify the definite article, "the". Again, there really are no "translations" because everything needs to be interpreted, and they all have translator's bias in the mix. As a trilingual person, I make translation decisions all day every day. Should I use phrase-A which works, or phrase-B which also works? I have to choose which one works as I speak or write in daily life.
Note: My explanations of how and why may seem disrespectful and analytical in nature. I must stress that after the teaching is done, I have my time to read my Tanakh. In my studies, I admire and relish the history and dedication with which Hebrew script was copied by hand, meticulously making every "jot and tittle" as Yeshua says. He takes every letter very seriously. For that reason, I do too.

hello sir @hebrew ,,, how are you ?
wow excellent new lesson, i am slowly learning hebrew and i enjoy learning my friend @hebrew
i will say...it's a good lesson for all the people..that's why they can learn diffrent type of letter day by day...
Hope next we will see another lesson soon..
I love his teaching too. I've followed his lessons for some time now and it's amazing. I'm w beginner in the Hebrew lesson. I think it's good for every Christian to learn the Hebrew language. It gives a lot of insights in the Old Testament and some portions of the New Testament. Stay blessed @hebrew and @dini1
זה מדהים את הידע של ספרי קודש של אבות, החוכמה שלהם בהשראת אלוהים, הם שמרו את הידע במשך יותר מ 4000 שנים ועכשיו זה רק כי המדענים לאמת את קיומו של אור וחושך. אני משאיר את הסרטון הזה מסביר את מה שאתה אומר בשיעור שלך ויש הרבה
Great lesson! I can see now the difference between the light and the darkness. English obviously uses much more prepositions than Hebrew. I can see now that word “vav” can have a more meaning such as “and, on, in”. I can also see Hebrew uses one word instead of English using multiple words.
wow this is a very good option/jesson............

thank you sir.........
I noticed there is no “the” in Hebrew based on color marks. Which makes it much less difficult. We can use as well “over night” and “over day” I hope I understood this. And yes one Hebrew word has many words in English. I can clearly see it on your Dtube video for example “to give light”. Looks like Hebrew language is a state of art language.
Great comment. I know it is not an easy language,but explanation from a learner's perspective helps new learners.
This is a hard language to pick up! It is important to me as a Christian. Thank you!
It is something new to me but I am curious to know this language and your tutorial is user friendly, so I can really get it on track and I am sure I will find it easier than ever with your tutorial.
Thank you @hebrew.

Thank you and Shabbat Shalom~
Much stronger lesson introducing. Exactly Dtube lessons very deserve to easily understand everything. Last time and this time your Dtube lessons nicely making. Video better more than word contents.
Shabbat Shalom
That would be me and my timid nature. Once I say it, I can't correct it as easily. You can bet I thought of making more in depth videos, but I am not good with editors - think - I am pointing a camera at the screen! No, I am not good with these things.
I am trying :)
One of Judaism's great figures is the man called Moshe Rabbenu ('Moses our teacher') in Hebrew. The first five books of the Bible are traditionally ascribed to him. Moses is the channel between God and the Hebrews, through whom the Hebrews received a basic charter for living as God's people.
You have made me like Hebrew Language even though I'm still struggling to understand it.😂
Thank you for all you do.
With love from Nigeria🇳🇬

Hebrew is an ancient language with so much importance because most of the modern languages are offshoot of this great language. Alphabets of countless languages are based on Hewbrew.
Your lessons are a great source of learning and enlightenment. You are an excellent teacher with so simple yet very effective way of teaching.
That is so simple and easy to learn.
Thank you so much @hebrew for putting time and efforts to educate us about this amazing language.
Hello My Respected Friend Shabbat Shalom / @hebrew, nice to see you again here after about one week. How is life going on... I hope you are fine and enjoy your time well. Sorry from me for late comment on your post.
Your New Lesson with new energy is here "The ancient language of ivrit ( עברית ) Genesis #9." I think the rate of Awareness about this historical language increases day by day. Its all due to your passion and concentration you put on it. and by using Dtube it is easy method to convey your lessons to students, it leave a great impact for its promotion. that's really great idea and all the credit goes to you. (One thing i mentioned here is that I just Impressed from your teaching techniques So I am always glad to leave my comment on your post to appreciate and support you friend). Take Care and My Best Wishes always for You.
Hope so everything is fine at your end Teacher @hebrew :)
Since i am following your lessons to learn the most ancient language #Hebrew, my basic vocabulary is getting thick day by day. It is just because of your kind teaching method, that you explain the things in depth. Sometimes, i consider myself very lucky that i found you. Actually learning different languages is my passion and you are fulfilling my dream to understand the basics of this beautiful language. Thank you so much for letting us know the difference between light and darkness :)
