		Mishnaic Hebrew from the 1st to the 3rd or 4th century CE, corresponding to the Roman Period after the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem and represented by the bulk of the Mishnah and Tosefta within the Talmud and by the Dead Sea Scrolls, notably the Bar Kokhba Letters and the Copper Scroll.
		This Tiberian Hebrew from the 7th to 10th century CE is sometimes called "Biblical Hebrew" because it is used to pronounce the Hebrew Bible; however properly it should be distinguished from the historical Biblical Hebrew of the 6th century BCE, whose original pronunciation must be reconstructed.

	Hebrew language - an introduction - Citizendium
		Hebrew is also the language of most of the Hebrew Bible, which survives in manuscripts from the 3rd century BCE and later.
		Hebrew was the language of the inhabitants of ancient Judea and Israel.
		Vocalizations of Hebrew words are known initially only from transcriptions, the most important of which are isolated words, mostly names, in the Septuagint, composed originally during the 3rd century BCE and later, and the preserved parts of the second column of the Hexapla, composed during the 3rd century CE.

		Finally, there's the question of whether word-final consonants with _dagesh_ in the Tiberian orthography were actually pronounced as doubled (geminate) consonants (or just as consonants which are not spirantized, in contrast to all other word-final post-vocalic _b at gadk@phat_ consonants).
		I rather doubt this hypothesis of a hidden pronunciation difference, which is why I don't interpret word-final consonants with _dagesh_ as being doubled (so I would transcribe the 2nd.sg.fem.

	Definition of Tiberian Hebrew
		Tiberian Hebrew is an oral tradition of pronunciation for ancient forms of Hebrew, especially the Hebrew of the Bible, that was given written form by masoretic scholars in the Jewish community at Tiberias in the early middle ages, beginning in the 8th century.
		This written form employed symbols added to the Hebrew letters; the symbols are called niqqudot (for vowels) and cantillation signs.
		As mentioned above, the Tiberian points were designed to reflect a specific oral tradition for reading the biblical text.

	Tiberian Hebrew
		Tiberian Hebrew is an oral tradition of pronunciation for ancient forms of Hebrew, especially the Hebrew of the Tanakh, that was given written form by masoretic scholars in the Jewish community at Tiberias in the early Middle Ages, beginning in the 8th century.
		The Yemenite tradition has preserved old Tiberian features, such as the pronunciation of schewa according to its proximity to gutturals or yod; some features of its own, and others which were taken from the Babylonian pronunciation.
		This is even more noticeable in our days, where new editions of the Hebrew Bible (except for those based on reliable, ancient manuscripts as diplomatic texts) have changed all of these features of ancient orthography and vocalization for the sake of spelling consistency and to adhere to Jewish Law.

		Later, during the eleventh and twelfth centuries in Spain and elsewhere, Hebrew poetry was written according to Arabic patterns and was structured after the Arabic qasida or muwashah forms.
		These patterns were based on a Hebrew adaptation of the Arabic principle of differentiating short from long syllables [19], a consideration that now had to be added to such older factors as rhyming patterns, acrostic signatures, and the requisite allusions to biblical verses.
		Hebrew poetry and synagogue melodies were constructed according to the Andalusian nuba, an extended suite form, unified by specific melodic modes and rhythmic patterns, and using both songs and instrumental pieces, except in certain circumstances — e.g., on Shabbat, when (as we saw) instruments are not permitted — when vocal imitations of instruments occurs.

	The Word in Tiberian Hebrew: Abstract (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		The text of the Hebrew Bible (Elliger and Rudolph 1977) provides us with several conflicting notions of word.
		The Biblical text consists of two main layers, and the written word - in the sense of letters surrounded by blank space - differs in each layer.
		Thus, a study of the word in Biblical Hebrew bears on issues of the syntax-phonology mapping in contemporary linguistic theory, as well as on the notion of levels in Lexical Phonology and Morphology.

		Idsardi and I argue that Tiberian Hebrew has eight underlying vocalic phonemes, and crucially the eighth is the underspecified schwa (DeCaen, Idsardi 1999); on our view there is considerable evidence for the schwa throughout the phonology.
		It is unsatisfying to suppose extensive stem suppletion in Tiberian Hebrew, just in all and only those cases with segholization variants: this is missing a significant linguistic generalization.
		Tiberian Hebrew phonology is front and centre in today's linguistic theorizing: crucial in fact, in part because of John McCarthy and his colleagues and students (Kager 1999).

		The core of the Tanakh (the Hebrew Bible) is written in Classical Hebrew, and much of its present form is specifically in the dialect of Biblical Hebrew that scholars believe flourished roughly around the 6th century BCE, near the Babylonian Exile.
		Largely because of this, modern Hebrew became an official language in British-ruled Palestine in 1921 (along with English and Arabic), and the primary official language of the State of Israel.
		In a less direct manner, the revival of Hebrew is often cited by proponents of International auxiliary languages as the best proof that languages long dead, with small communities, or modified or created artificially can become living languages used by a large number of people.

	sociology - Eber
		The origin of the names for Eber and the Hebrews, as used in European Christian languages, derived from Judæo-Aramaic עבר ʿĒḇer and עברי ʿIḇrāy, as spoken in the Roman province of Judæa and by those Jews who escaped the province's destruction.
		However, the KJV Old Testament was largely not translated from the Greek and Latin sources, but was instead translated from existing Hebrew texts accessible to scholars at the time, employing a uniquely Anglo-Saxon method of adaptating Hebrew words and names.
		However, the KJV translators chose to use the New Testament name "Hebrew" (instead of "Ibrite" or "Eberite") as the canonical term for the descendants of Eber in the Old Testament as well, likely to avoid confusing lay readers.

		All instances of TH in Hebrew shifted to š hence the roots became indistinguishable leading to the abandonment of שכח = shrivel except in the conservative poetic dialect in situations where it was not likely to be confused and could be used for a pleasing poetic effect such as in our verse.
		Mishnaic Hebrew probably preserves many words for work-a-day objects and activities that were never mentioned in the Bible due to the subjects discussed in the Bible or, more accurately, not discussed.
		The mass of the early speakers of Israeli Hebrew were from Europe and were unable to pronounce the gutturals (אחע) aside from ה and the emphatics (טצק).
