Joseph Smith's use of Hebrew I say "Hebrew of the Bible"; Joseph had no idea of post-biblical Hebrew literature: so far as he was aware, the Hebrew of the Jewish Scriptures was all the Hebrew there was.

ANTHROPOLOGY AND THE BIBLE In Western Semitic languages such as Hebrew, the name Abram (or Abi-ram) means 'the (divine) Father is high', but the name Abraham does not mean, as the Bible asserts, 'father of a multitude of nations', which would be redered as Ab-hamon, not Abraham. What data is available from outside the Hebrew Bible remains sparse enough that a consensus does not yet exist about the best secular reconstruction of the process that culminated in the Hebrew Monarchy. The lifestyle of the Hebrew Patriarchs was that of pastoral nomads, cattle herders, in the desert environment of the Arabian peninsula. cc.usu.edu /~fath6/patriarchs.htm   (7651 words)

BUCK'S THEOLOGICAL DICTIONARY It reckons 1500 years more from the creation to Abraham than the Hebrew Bible. Kennicott, in the dissertation prefixed to his Hebrew Bible, has shown it to be very probable that the chronology of the Hebrew Scriptures, since the period just mentioned, was corrupted by the Jews between the years 175 and 200; and that the chronology of the Septuagint is more agreeable to truth. www.all-of-grace.net /references/bucks_dictionary/bd_s.htm   (15828 words)

Bible Versions Encyclopedia Article The Bible of Ferrara, or the Bible of the Jews, was a Spanish version from the Hebrew by Abraham Usque, a Portuguese Jew. As early as the second century, portions of the Hebrew Bible, as the Pentateuch, the Prophets, and the Psalms, had been translated into Syriac and were in use in the Syrian Church. A complete Bible, based on earlier versions of the Testaments, was published for the London Bible Society (London, 1807), and a revision of it was ordered by the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church at Edinburgh (1826). www.traditionalcatholic.net /Scripture/Encyclopedia/Versions.html   (15828 words)

Exodus Hebrew University professor Abraham Malamat points out that the Bible often refers to 600 and its multiples, as well as 1,000 and its multiples, typologically in order to convey the idea of a large military unit. The Hebrew word eleph can be translated 'thousand,' but it is also rendered in the Bible as 'clans' and 'military units.' When I look at the question as an Egyptologist, I know that there are thought to have been 20,000 in the entire Egyptian army at the height of Egypt's empire. In a non-literary sense, The Exodus refers to the departure of the Hebrew slaves from Egypt under the leadership of Moses. www.mywiseowl.com /index.php?title=Exodus&action=edit   (15828 words)

As early as the second century, portions of the Hebrew Bible, as the Pentateuch, the Prophets, and the Psalms, had been translated into Syriac and were in use in the Syrian Church. Thus was formed that version of the Bible which has had no less influence in the Western Church than the Septuagint has had in the Eastern, which has enriched the thought and language of Europe and has been the source of nearly all modern translations of the Scriptures. www.newadvent.org /cathen/15367a.htm   (15828 words)

Period of the Second Temple, 538 BC-AD 70 (from Hebrew literature) --  Encyclopædia Britannica Historians use the term Hebrews to designate the descendants of the patriarchs of the Old Testament (i.e., Abraham, Isaac, and so on) from that period until their conquest of Canaan (Palestine) in the late 2nd millennium BC. It is the language in which most of the Hebrew Bible—what Christians call the Old Testament—was originally written (see bible). The biblical Hebrew of the writings was artificial because it had ceased to be spoken and had been replaced by Aramaic, a related Semitic language, and Mishnaic Hebrew. www.britannica.com /eb/article-61536?tocId=61536   (845 words)

CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Versions of the Bible The Bible of Ferrara, or the Bible of the Jews, was a Spanish version from the Hebrew by Abraham Usque, a Portuguese Jew.
