  Hebrew Language - MSN Encarta   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
Modern Hebrew was developed in the 19th and 20th centuries from the ancient written form of the language.
Hebrew was preserved, however, as the language of ritual and sacred writing and through the centuries has undergone periodic literary revivals.
Hebrew vocabulary was further augmented in the Middle Ages by the Arabic influence on philosophic writing and through translations of Arabic philosophical and scientific works.

 Biblical Hebrew language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Biblical Hebrew, sometimes called Classical Hebrew, is an archaic form of the Hebrew language, in which the Hebrew Bible or Tanakh was written, and which the ancient Israelites spoke.
Biblical Hebrew is further divided into the so called 'Golden Age' Hebrew (1200 BCE to 500 BCE) and 'Silver Age' Hebrew (500 BCE to 60 BCE).
The Biblical Hebrew language is sometimes referred to as "the flame alphabet" because many devout Jews believe that the Torah is the literal word of God written in fire.

 Hebrew
Hebrew was revived as a spoken language during the late 19th and early 20th century as Modern Hebrew, replacing Arabic, Yiddish, Russian, and a variety of other languages spoken by Jews who emigrated to Israel.

 Hebrew language
Hebrew is categorized as a part of the Canaanite group of the Semitic languages, to which also the ancient languages, Phoenician and Moabite, belonged.
Biblical Hebrew is noted for a relatively small vocabulary, and there were only 2 verb tenses, perfect and imperfect.
The vocabulary of modern Hebrew — called 'ivrit — is based upon biblical Hebrew, but with numerous additions from the entire history of the language.

 THE ALPHABET OF BIBLICAL HEBREW
Phoenician, Hebrew, Aramaic, and Arabic are examples of Semitic languages, which have several characteristics, such as a consonantal system with three-letter word roots to connote meaning.
As the Aramaic alphabet became the Hebrew alphabet, Hebrew papyri and parchments of the second and first centuries BC were written in the Aramaic alphabet.
Two characteristics of ancient Hebrew were the pure use of consonants, and the use of an epicene personal pronoun (a personal pronoun that does not distinguish for male and female - the same word is used for both "he" and "she", as in Genesis 3:15).

 Biblical Seminary - Equip - Course Descriptions - Old Testament Studies
Studying Biblical Hebrew helps us to understand (and appreciate) God’s unique revelation of himself and his story to and through ancient Israel in its historical situation.
Hebrew 1 and 2 foster that understanding by studying the alphabet, vowel system, sounds, and vocabulary of Biblical Hebrew, as well as the systems of the noun and strong verb.
Building on Biblical Hebrew 1, this course entails the systems of the weak verbs, vocabulary, and reading (translating) the biblical text, as well as an introduction to textual criticism and basic exegetical principles of biblical narrative.

 Biblical Hebrew and modern Hebrew language and literature
Biblical Hebrew is written with "points" or dots, to indicate the vowels.
In Modern Hebrew points are rarely used - mainly for children in their first years in school and when a precise pronunciation of a new or "foreign" word is needed.
In Biblical Hebrew and Biblical Literature courses, where "Pointed" text may be essential for full comprehension of the meaning the technique will be explained in more details and the grammar rules regulating it would be covered as needed.

The Hebrew thought on 'time' is an essential aside to learning verbs since Hebrew thinks in terms of completion and tension rather than present and future.
Here the nuances of Hebrew prophecy are explored along with ways in which rabbis, Matthew the gospel writer, early Christian apologists, recent Christian teachers and even 1990’s journalists (Michael Drosnin, The Bible Code) have understood Hebrew’s use of the same symbols for both numbers and letters.

 Vocalization of Hebrew Alphabet
As a general rule the vowels in Hebrew are not written and have no letter form.
The Ashkenazi [Eastern European] Jewish community and 'Modern Hebrew' pronounce this letter like a V as in Valley, the same as the letter Veth.
This pronunciation was shared by almost all communities until Jews came to the United States and adopted the 'English R.' 'Modern Hebrew' adopted the 'French R' for this letter.

 A BIBLIOGRAPHY OF UGARITIC GRAMMAR AND BIBLICAL HEBREW GRAMMAR IN THE TWENTIETH CENTURY
The weight given to Ugaritic and Biblical Hebrew may be justified based on the relative distribution of texts that currently survive in the West Semitic languages of the second and first millennia.
Ugaritic is not Hebrew; it is not an older stage of Hebrew; it must even be differentiated from the dialect(s) reflected in the Amarna glosses.
I have included some entries for Hebrew phonology or morphology with little or no mention of Ugaritic, in part to be more inclusive in these areas and in part to promote such work in the study of Ugaritic.

There are a number of words for body parts in the Hebrew Bible which are used with metaphorical meanings quite different from the metaphorical meanings of the same body parts in English.
