The ancient language of ivrit ( עברית ) Genesis #8

in #hebrew7 years ago (edited)

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 1:15 onward.

We are talking about the naming of the day, the night, and the setting of the stars in the expanse. I really try to keep the lessons short so we can learn a few new things each time we read.

Today we are identifying masculine (m) and feminine (f) nouns by their plural forms. This is important because the the way we say/write verbs, adjectives and numbers is different depending on the gender of who or what we are talking about. We will also be learning how to identify an infinitive verb. For example "be" which is never used without the word "to" before it. In Hebrew, the letter 'lamed' precedes and is together with the infinitive verb.

Here you have today's lesson in a nutshell. Several examples of (m) and (f) nouns in their plural forms and an example of an infinitive verb. Infinitives always start with a lamed with the vowel shvah (:) under them.

Great and Small

or big and little if you like.

big

small

These are the adjectives used for feminine nouns. We can tell this by looking at the ending of the plural noun "lights". It ends with tav which is one way to tell that this noun is feminine.

You can see that the hey at the beginning of each is the word "the" and it also refers the the only big light and the only small light by context. In this case, English works the same way, my interpretation reads, "God made two light sources larger than the rest, the bigger one rules the day and the smaller one rules the night, and stars..." You can see that removing the word "one" would sound bad in English. It would not sound bad in Spanish without the word 'uno' and it would be left out - not necessary.

There is no such thing as a "translation" because everything needs to be interpreted and has the translator's bias or twist incorporated. A 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.

Excellent, for beginners, and above all is what you transmit the bible.

Fui al traductor y leí el propósito y el tema de la publicación. Cómo necesito de este idioma original para conocer un poco más. Aunque tengo un léxico Fuego Castellano, gracias y espero aprender algo. Excelente

Gracias. Tu blog esta muy bien hecho. Te sigo

Many Arabic words are derived from Hebrew, which proves that the Jews lived long with the Arabs, and that our two languages are very close.
In fact we lived side by side without serious problems, unfortunately this is not the case today and it is a pity.
I hope that in the future all this animosity will be reabsorbed and we will be able to live in peace with our very close cousins.

@hebrew

Very interesting as always your classes @hebrew, always learn something new with your publications, good post.

That’s a great idea making your lesson on Dtube. I’m very curious!
Seeing all these written Hebrew words, you literally have be an artist to actualy write it correctly. That’s the beauty of Hebrew language, you are all artists. However, while going through these words few more times, it doesn’t seem so difficult. I guess practice is what it takes.

I used to write my letters for the cover images in the early lessons. My blog is a start to finish beginners course.

Thank you so much sir for visiting my blog@hebrew

That would be fantastic Ivrit language post @hebrew. Dtube very useful for who want to study. Absolutely your support highly appreciated. I never know anyone try to develop language skills here. But you did it already.

@hebrew, That's excellent Dtube reading language series given this time. I appreciate your every task for provide ancient language of Ivrit. This time introducing from Genesis 1:15 onward. Well introducing for follow easier to beginners and already start like as mine. Thanks for every priceless effort.

Genesis 1 vs 15

And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth and it was so.

That was the point where God created light which he named day and darkness which he named night. I love biblical words because they are fruit to the soul. Thanks @hebrew for sharing this wonderful word of God.

Great lesson!
I do learn every time I see your lesson.
I can clearly see the meaning in the great one and the small one in Hebrew. To write “one” is very easy. I completely understand that you can’t literally translate from English to Hebrew. In my language of origin it’s exactly the same. It would not make much of a sense if I tried to translate It literally word by word. Hebrew is a beautiful language.

yes, brother he is doing a great job!

Hi @hebrew - love seeing those posts of you again, I'll watch and I'm sure I'll enjoy it - your job is holy - thanks for being who you are and sharing this knowledge and teaching abilities with all of us!

:/ Why you come after so much days :/ I miss you lectures sir, Try to come at least 2 to 3 times a week ,
Btw how is your health now?

I am much better, thank you. I would do that if I had the time and voting power. As you know I return upvotes and have a large following. I am on line for four to eight hours after each post, going through spam comments and answering real comments. It should be a pleasure. Sadly it is tiresome.

You will see more posts from me when I finally have the spam all muted.

oh yes :( It is sad :( But If there are bad people there are also good people too!

My favorite @hebrew language teacher is here with another great lesson <3
Thank you @hebrew for being so kind to all of us <3

Upvote done sir!

Hi Sir Hebrew, it's so good to read your post once again.
How are you Sir?.
Just checking in on you.

Thank you for the lesson. I'm more convinced that it's not so difficult to learn a foreign language, the main thing is to read everything carefully.

Just discovered your account. It's interesting in a weird way so I will be reading one post every day and follow you to check the newer ones. So if I get it right, alef is the first letter in the Hebrew alphabet, right? Sounds like alpha the Greek word for από which is also a bowel and our first letter. And beyt sounds like βήτα which is β and our second letter :p I guess it's not a coincidence

great article,my dear friend @hebrew,Nice dtube language series sir,thank you for sharing with us,this post #resteemrd and #upvote,

It's interesting to learn your language. You describe everything clearly, thanks for the lesson.

waiting for next article,thank's for sharing and giving opportunity to learn@hebrew

Beautiful way to teach the classic language of ancient times still alive.
You are doing excellent job by teaching Hebrew with such a wonderfully simple way that is really comprehensive for foundation stage learners like me.

Thank you. I acknowledge that this teaching is not for anyone who has a conversational level of Hebrew. There is little for them to learn. I have an accent in both of my non native languages. I actually said the word 'big' with a Spanish accent in this week's video. I aim for utility over perfection.

Wonderfully said,"utility over perfection." You are really doing a tremendous job for learners. Thank you:)

I am very excited to learn more lesson about Hebrew language.

Another Great lesson about Hebrew language from Genesis 1:15 onward about the naming of the day, the night, and the setting of the stars in the expanse & also Great & Small or big and little if you like.

@upvoted & @resteemed.

@hebrew.
To we humans without light we can't do anything. God has already established the light in heaven, so the heavens were filled with light. God so cared for us that He don't want to leave us in darkness, then He said: "let this light in the sky shine down on the earth, and it was so".

This light became the day that we enjoy today. God understood that we are all children of light hence He established the light in other for us His children to shine in the light of His glory.

God made two greats lights, the greater light to rule the day and the lesser light to rule the night. These are two great lights that God established, but one is greater than one. The one that is greater is called day. In the day time the sun gives light and heat.

The lesser one is the moon. Without the moon at night everywhere would have been dark. The sun comes with full voltage and at evening hour, it withdrew back. Then the moon emerges to give us the evening light
The light of the moon is not as bright as the sun. But if not for the light of the moon, we would not have been able to see in the night hour.

Genesis 1

The earth was without formed and darkness covered the face of the deep.

It is the sun that brought about day while the moon brought night.

Wonderful post @hebrew. God continue to bless you for your support on my blog.

Shalom

Thank you for coming. You always take the time to read and comment with something wonderful to add. How refreshing it is to have someone who votes and comments with their heart.

Y'hova bless you and keep you;
Y'hova make His face to shine upon you, and be gracious to you;
Y'hova lift up His face to you, and give you peace

You have impressive idea to provide steemians indeed your valuable followers. Well explained about Genesis 1:15 letter. Write too hard to mine. But easy than chinese language. I completely watch your Dtube video slow motion. Fantastic...... well done @hebrew.

It's most adorable tutorial sharing @hebrew. This is the best explaining who want to learn better. Ivrit wanna very hard to learn language. Need to sacrifice with this language. If not difficult to study. But I guess after follow your every posts definitely build bu hebrew language. Nice job.

you taught us a lot dear..
thank you @hebrew

after reading your post i decided to search more on hebrew language & how it originated. but, accidentally i have found was the day of 'yom kippur' known as 'the day of atonement'. the holiest day of the year according to the judaism. therefore, i wish you in hebrew 'shalom aleikhem' - שָׁלוֹם עֲלֵיכֶם
apologies, if i made mistakes. i just started my learning of hebrew language via your articles :)

As far as i know Hebrew is the most ancient language and after reading your blogs i got the chance to learn it's basics and some general words in a very brilliant way. The way you teach the words is highly appreciable.
