	Study of the Hebrew language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Since Hebrew is the original language of the Hebrew Bible (known as the Torah and Tanakh), it is therefore a language that has always been central to Judaism and valued by the Jewish people for over three thousand years, (and later by Christian scholars as well).
		The beginnings of the study of Hebrew are found in the Talmud and Midrash, which have some grammatical notes.
		The Academy of the Hebrew Language (האקדמיה ללשון העברית) in modern Israel is the "Supreme Foundation for the Science of the Hebrew Language" founded by the Israeli Government in 1953.

	Language School Explorer - Hebrew_language information.
		Hebrew is a Semitic language of the Afro-Asiatic language family spoken by 6 million people mainly in Israel, parts of the Palestinian territories, the United States and by Jewish communities around the world.
		While the term "Hebrew" as a nationality is customarily used to refer to the ancient Israelites, the classical Hebrew language was extremely similar to the Canaanite languages spoken by their neighbors, such as Phoenician; indeed, Moabite and Hebrew are often considered to be two dialects of the same language.
		Sephardi Hebrew language is the basis of Standard Hebrew and not all that different from it, although traditionally it has had a greater range of phonemes.

	Why Study Hebrew?
		Hebrew is the original language of the Bible.
		Hebrew is the Foundation of the New Testament: in fact, all of the original authors of the New Testament were Jews who spoke and read Hebrew (see Acts 21:40, 22:2; John 5:2; Luke 23:28; Acts 15:13-21).
		Hebrew is the only ancient language to have been revived as a modern spoken language.

	Word Studies
		The study of etymology is the most difficult, but since it is necessary for studying the many rare and problematic words in Scripture, it cannot be avoided.
		The study of how a word was translated in the ancient versions (and modern versions) is also a little complicated because it involves languages; but because the commentaries and expositions use them so much, we must know how to use them correctly.
		If the word you are studying has a good number of usages in the Old Testament, the etymological background of the word need only be surveyed to see if the word was a stable word down through its history, or if it seemed to change its meaning from culture to culture, or century to century.

	Study by US, Hebrew University scientists sheds light on how bacteria persist despite antibiotics
		In their research with E-coli bacteria, the Hebrew University and Rockefeller University researchers discovered that persistent cells are a kind of reserve population that is constantly being produced within bacteria, regardless of whether the bacteria are being attacked by an antibiotic or not.
		Alternatively, perhaps further study of the nature of the persistent cells could lead to drugs that would take direct action against them in their initial state.
		The discoveries by the Hebrew and Rockefeller universities scientists could also perhaps point in the direction of overcoming the problem of reoccurrence of cancer in patients who have undergone earlier, successful remission.

		As other schools of higher learning opened, they, too, included Hebrew as a subject of study, recognizing its importance as one of the most ancient of languages, the language of the Bible, the language of the source of much of our system of law, and the origin of much English vocabulary.
		An understanding of Hebrew opens doors to understanding Hebrew literature and history, contemporary Israeli and Jewish life, research in the language and culture, and preparation for study abroad or graduate education in many fields.
		In the words of many of our students,"Learning Hebrew is fun!" In addition to studying the language academically, understanding the culture of the language brings it to life.

	Hebrew Slang and Foreign Loan Words by Raphael Sappan
		Raphael Sappan, lecturer in Hebrew Language at the Haifa University Institute, has made a study of Hebrew slang, for which he received a UNESCO prize.
		Yet it cannot be denied that the number of foreign loan-words in the Israeli slang vocabulary is still proportionately larger than in any other language, and that particularly in the initial period of the revival of Hebrew as a spoken language, the majority of such terms and expressions were of alien provenance.
		Later, as Hebrew became the mother tongue of an increasing proportion of the Jewish population and particularly among the youth, the Hebrew element began to predominate.

	The Invalidity of the Crucifixion of Jesus As An Atonement of Sin: A Study of the Hebrew Tanakh (Old Testament) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		SECOND, the Hebrew Bible requires that the blood of the (sin) sacrifice had to be sprinkled by the Priest on the veil of the sanctuary and on the altar in the Temple (e.g., Lev 4:5-6) — there is no evidence in the New Testament that this was done.
		FOURTH, the Hebrew Bible requires that the Passover (sin) sacrifice, a male-goat, be offered on an individual (per household) basis (Num 28:22), not as a communal offering — according to the New Testament, Jesus’ death (termed a ‘sin sacrifice’) expiated the sins of mankind (Ro 6:10; He 9:12, 10:10, 10:18).
		EIGHTH, the Hebrew Bible teaches that sacrifices can atone only for sins committed prior to the offering of the sacrifice; no sacrifice could ever atone for sins committed after the sacrifice was offered and, thus, no sacrifice could ever atone for people born after the sacrifice was offered (e.g., Leviticus 1-7).

	Easy Hebrew™ Correspondence Course — for BELIEVERS who long to know HEBREW
		There is no such thing as purely "Biblical Hebrew." Because of the term "Biblical Hebrew," Christians are confused about whether there is a difference between Modern Hebrew and the Hebrew of the Bible.
		On the other hand, courses which are strictly "spoken" or "Modern" Hebrew, even those offered by Israelis, also lack the spiritual mindset of the language and of the Bible and, therefore, are not suitable or sufficient for Believers.
		Instead, a Believer is either "doomed" to the spiritually dry, difficult academia of "Biblical Hebrew" where he studies feverishly but learns little, or must settle for study methods that are like "pretend" plastic rings from a child's gumball machine, only to learn next to nothing.
