	Ancient Hebrew Poetry (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		In the essay which follows, I argue that the classical description of ancient Hebrew poetry as revised by Benjamin Harshav and Robert Alter is a valid point of departure for ongoing research in the field.
		Finally, diachronic analysis of the Hebrew language will force students of ancient Hebrew poetry to break with the received text, however tentatively, in the hopes of reconstructing ancient Hebrew verse as it might have been heard, read, and written in the period of its composition.
		This post contains an annotated bibliography of ancient Hebrew poetry studies, the larger fields of metrics, prosody, and linguistic analysis of poetry, and an introductory bibliography to the synchronic and diachronic study of ancient Hebrew.

	Ancient Hebrew civilization
		To the Hebrews, our modern world is indebted for the germ of its religious thought, the realization of the one almighty Power enfolding the universe, "the all-wise and the all-loving too." This thought, though not in its full clearness, the Hebrews carried with them in their departure from Babylonia.
		Abraham, the founder of the Hebrew race, was a Semite, dwelling, as the Bible tells us, in the city of "Ur of the Chaldees." This may mean either the great Sumerian city of Ur, or a particular suburb of Babylon which had the same name.
		The name "Hebrew" means people "from the other bank of the river," that is, of the Euphrates; and it may well be that Abraham's tribe was only one small portion of the many Semites from the Euphrates who drifted into Canaan.

	"The Ancient Hebrew Lexicon of the Bible" by Jeff A. Benner: Virtualbookworm.com Bookstore
		One of the major differences between the Modern Western mind and the Ancient Hebrew's is that their mind related all words and their meanings to a concrete concept.
		For instance, the Hebrew word "chai" is normally translated as "life", a western abstract meaning, but the original Hebrew concrete meaning of this word is the "stomach".
		Benner first began reading the Hebrew text of the Bible he quickly discovered that the Ancient Hebrews did not think in the same manner we do and realized that we should not be reading the Biblical text as if we were reading a modern Novel.

		It is my opinion that the Hebrew words, as written in the standard 22-letter Hebrew alphabet, contain the consonants and some of the vowels of the spoken words.
		Another example of a problem is the Hebrew letter "taw", which the scholars say is pronounced as T or Th depending on the "points".
		The modern Hebrew scholars claim that the Hebrew letter "heth" is pronounced in that manner, but this letter corresponds to the Greek letter "eta", which seems to be pronounced as A-long.

		Hebrew names tend to have meanings in that language, making it possible for us to assign etymologies to most of the names discussed in this article and to other names in the Bible and the Book of Mormon.
		Indeed, some are relatively common for that time period.We can only speculate about how they made their way to the New Worldâ”whether on the brass plates of Laban or on the large plates of Nephi (which we no longer have) or in the names of the sons of Ishmael or their children or Lehi's grandchildren.
		The addition of the Hebrew letter aleph (symbolized by â in transliteration) to the end of the name is known from other Hebrew hypocoristic names, suggesting that the name on the seal may be hypocoristic.

		The Ancient Hebrew Language and Alphabet: Understanding the Ancient Hebrew Language of the Bible Based on Ancient Hebrew Culture and Thought by Jeff A. Benner
		As the Bible was written in an ancient Near East culture it is imperative that the Bible be read from this perspective, not from a modern western one.
		The only reason why I give it 4 stars, is because there are some roots (only a few) that are left without all their proper translations, but that is the case with pretty much any lexicon, which is why a serious student should always have more than one resource in the first place.

	Jewish Liturgy: The Amidah prayer, also known as the Shmoneh-Esreh
		When the Hebrews were deported to Babylonia after the destruction of the First Temple, in 586 B.C.E., they adopted Aramaic writing, which was squarer than their own Hebraic script.
		Modern Hebrew writing is called "square script" and is derived from Aramaic.
		However, for private use, there is a different script, the cursive script, which in numerous points is actually derived from paleo Hebrew, the twin sister of paleo-Phoencian.

	Hebrew Pictograms
		Later, the pictograms evolved into a Hebrew script (sometimes called Paleo-Hebrew) that strongly resembled the ancient Phoenician alphabet.
		This was the Hebrew (ketav Ivri) used by the Jewish nation up to the Babylonian Exile (or, according to Orthodox Jews, until the Exodus from Egypt).
		Warning: The numeric values (and ancient pictographs) are sometimes used to infer “deeper” meanings from certain Hebrew words found in the Scriptures.

		This alone is impressive, since it is rather preposterous to imagine some pranksters or forgers operating with a knowledge of paleo-Hebrew in the late 1800s, when this ancient alphabet was not even fully known to the scholars.
		It might well be the case that the ancient Israelites who lived on this mountain, and left their inscription of the Ten Commandments at the “Gate” of the camp, also recorded an eclipse that happened to fall on a very important day in their sacred calendar.

		The primary purpose for HaKesher (Hebrew for “The Connection”) is to assist believers in the development of a deeper, more mature and meaningful faith through the study of Hebrew language and culture.
		These are different from the tools used for modern Hebrew because the languages are substantially different, and because the study of ancient texts, written in "dead" or "literary" languages, such as BH (biblical Hebrew), is fundamentally different from the study of modern languages.
		Anyone interested in Biblical Hebrew Studies is invited to subscribe, but the list will assume at least a working knowledge of Biblical Hebrew and Aramaic.
