	Hebrew languages - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Hebrew languages refer to a variety of Canaanite languages and dialects historically spoken by various peoples in the region of Canaan whom Abrahamic religion believes to have been Hebrews who emigrated from the Chaldees.
		Of the varieties of Hebrew, only one — Modern Hebrew — is used as a spoken language today, and is one of the official languages of the State of Israel.
		If (as the Book of Genesis implies) the Hebrews came from elsewhere rather than being native to Canaan, their language was most probably not a Canaanite one (as Biblical Hebrew linguistically is).

	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.
		The revival of Hebrew is intimately associated with the name of Eliezer Ben-Yehuda,who was born in Russia and who came to Palestine, then a province of the Ottoman empire, in 1881 with revival plans for the Hebrew language.
		Hebrew is unique in that it was resurrected from being a written language to becoming one that is spoken today as a first language by millions of people.

	Thelemapedia: The Encyclopedia of Thelema & Magick \| Hebrew
		There are principally two variants of Hebrew: Classical Hebrew, the language in which the Torah (the five books of Moses) was written, and Modern Hebrew, a somewhat artificial reconstruction and "modernization" of Classical Hebrew for use by Jews in Palestine after 1900 e.v.
		Hebrew as a spoken, living language was dormant from the time of the Babylonian Exile until the end of the 19th century e.v.
		The Hebrew words and concepts that have worked their way into Thelema, Qabalah, and hermetic magick in general come from classical Hebrew; their modern spelling and pronunciation may be confusing.

	Hebrew Language
		The Hebrew alphabet is either of two distinct Semitic alphabets - the Early Hebrew and the Classical, or Square, Hebrew.
		Hebrew is written from right to left, rather than left to right as in English, so Alef is the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet and Tav is the last.
		Classical Hebrew showed three distinct forms by the 10th century AD: Square Hebrew, a formal or book hand; rabbinical or "Rashi-writing," employed by medieval Jewish scholars; and various local cursive scripts, of which the Polish-German type became the modern cursive form.

	William M. Schniedewind, Prolegomena for the Sociolinguistics of Classical Hebrew
		Although Hebrew ceased to be spoken as an everyday language sometime in the third or fourth centuries CE, it continued to be used as the language of sacred literature and even served as a trade language among Jews throughout the Diaspora who shared their knowledge of Hebrew religious texts.
		It is hardly surprising that Akkadian loanwords seem to appear in Classical Hebrew in the late 8th century, that is, in the context of the Assyrian conquests of Galilee, Samaria, and Lachish.
		Hebrew linguists have often been content to work as if language were not part of a cultural system, as if the history of Hebrew were not part of the social history of the Jewish people.

	Behind the Name: Classical Hebrew (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Classical Hebrew (also called Biblical Hebrew or Ancient Hebrew) is the Semitic language that was used by the Hebrews from approximately 1200 BC to 60 AD.
		After the first destruction of Jerusalem and the deportation of the Jews to Babylon in 586 BC, Classical Hebrew began to be supplanted by Mishnaic Hebrew and Aramaic.
		Hebrew was revived in the 20th century as the official language of the state of Israel.

		On the one hand, they are "deaf" to the distinctive oppositions in Hebrew, if these distinctions are not relevant in their primary language, and, on the other, they impose irrelevant distinctions on Hebrew only because they are relevant in their primary language and its rules of free variation.

	Hebrew - Theopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Biblical or Classical Hebrew is the ancient form of the Hebrew language, in which the Hebrew Bible (Tanakh) was written, and which the ancient Israelites spoke.
		Modern evolutions, or adaptions, of Classical Hebrew are in active use today, mostly in the form of various modern Jewish dialects of Hebrew, as well as Samaritan Hebrew language, which is used primarily by the Samaritans.
		Roman Era Hebrew, or Mishnaic Hebrew, has further grammatical influences from Greek and Parsi, mainly through the dialect of Aramaic which was the Lingua franca of the area at the time.

	Let's Talk the Talk-classical Hebrew language for Gentiles!
		Classical Hebrew is a verb oriented language rather than a noun oriented or abstract language.
		Classical Hebrew was followed by Mishnaic Hebrew, the language of the Mishnah, which reflects Hebrew as it was known from around 200 B.C. to about A.D. 500 Mishnaic Hebrew was the language of the academy where the Scriptures were interpreted and where the oral interpretations of the sages were passed down.
		The nineteenth and twentieth centuries have witnessed the development of modern Hebrew into a vital, living language as suitable for the sciences and literature as for everyday use, but this language represents a vast development and change from classical Hebrew of the Bible, particularly in the verbal system.

	Dictionary of Classical Hebrew
		The Dictionary of Classical Hebrew is a project being carried out under the auspices of the (British) Society for Old Testament Study, from whose members a Board of Reference of about 12 scholars has been appointed.
		But it is impossible to prepare a dictionary of the classical phase of the language on historical principles, since so few of the texts we have can be dated with any assurance; and so on principle we do not attempt to reconstruct the history of the semantics of words.
		In some cases, of course, there obviously existed in classical Hebrew synonyms and antonyms that are not actually attested as such within the extant texts, and it is no doubt a weakness in a dictionary if it does not enter rather systematically the possibilities open to speakers and writers of that language.

	Amazon.com: The Dictionary of Classical Hebrew: Zayin Tet (Dictionary of Classical Hebrew): Books: David J. A. Clines (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		It aims to describe the entire Hebrew language, up to and including the era of the Dead Sea scrolls, insofar as we know it from the extant literature and inscriptions.
		DCH, on the other hand, omits references to languages other than Hebrew, just as many English dictionaries omit etymological discussions--and for the same reason: DCH assumes that the best guide to the meaning of a Hebrew term is the way it is used in Hebrew, not the way it is used in some other language.
		In the case of the traditional lexicons, this is because they are remarkably unsullied, even in their most recent incarnations, by modern linguistic theory: they betray very little suspicion that users might want or benefit from more than simple glosses.

	Lust, Review of Clines, The Dictionary of Classical Hebrew, vol. 5
		Unlike previous dictionaries of ancient Hebrew, this work does not restrict itself to the texts of the Hebrew Bible.
		It systematically records the language of all texts written in Hebrew from the earliest times down to the second century of the common era.
		A further distinction should perhaps have been made between the plural "hands" and the singular "hand." This would have made it clear that, for instance, the meaning "prayer" always implies the plural, whereas the meaning "to swear an oath," or better "divine intervention," always implies the singular.

	Amazon.com: A Practical Grammar for Classical Hebrew: Books: Jacob Weingreen (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		This book is a lot better than "Biblical Hebrew: A Text and Workbook" by Kittel, Hoffer and Wright, because it slowly eases you into the language, giving you the basics first, while Kittel's book pounds you with huge amounts of grammatical rules at the very beginning.
		Weingreen's volume is a classic, and as the title suggests, a very practical text filled with helpful exercises and largely useful examples.
		It is a painless way to learn Hebrew because it only introduces a few paradigms and vocabulary words at a time, and then gives you lots of exercises to drill the material.

	Classical Literature (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		When traditional literary scholars refer to classical literature, they usually mean that this literature is widely acknowledged as having outstanding or enduring qualities.
		When scholars are speaking more specifically, however, the term classic is usually applied to the literature of the ancient world (Greek and Rome), especially between 1000 BCE and 410 CE.
		Literature written during this same interval in other cultures might be referred to as "Classical Hebrew" or "Classical Chinese" literature as well.
