How is your ancient Hebrew?

[Depleted]

Yes I am aware nowadays they don't but the bible was originally written in Hebrew and greek and the language of the original descent has much more profound meaning and purpose in their words compared to the english translation however I am unable to learn a new language my mind simply cannot handle it

I will only buy that if you try hard for half a year and still can't even get the alphabet. And I can teach you how to get the alphabet in three months. Write it (long hand, not on a computer) once a day with nothing on to distract you. (No music, no TV, and no conversation going on in the room.) If after three months, you know it better, but still forget some, take another three months.

Learning the alphabet is like learning the time tables. It's all rote memory. Then learning words is much like learning words in first grade Catholic school style -- pick out the important words, (family relational words, days, months, years, etc.), learn them. And after that, go on to basic verbs so you can string a simple sentence together.

I made a summary of Psalm 119 last year...
it is an acrostic psalm. 8 verses for each letter in hebrew... first 8 start with aleph, second starts with bet... etc up to tov

Almost every verse is a prayer
Almost every verse is about the word of God

and on those acrostic Psalms... I think they have basic lessons and also are transitional between flows of ideas in the Psalms

There is nothing codified or mystified in the Aleph and the Tave, it is read by most as The Alpha and the Omega in Revelation, quotiing Jesus Christ Who is the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End..... Who always Is.

Oh, I'm really not into that mystifying, codifying, numerology, whatever. I just figure if aleph also meant "blessed," "blameless" or "shameless," it adds to the first part. Or just learning even the Hebrews did outline format way back when. Something like that.

Lynn, did you ever get an adequate answer concerning the acrostic?

Basically, each line of a stanza starts with the letter of the stanza. So aleph is the starting letter for each line of the first stanza, bet starts each line for the second stanza, gimel starts each each line of the third stanza, through to tav, being the first letter of each line of the last stanza.

It is a popular format of Hebrew poetry. Hebrew poetry doesn't rhyme, it uses various devices such as the acrostic for the same purpose as we use rhyming. Another popular device which both Hebrew and Greek use is the chiasm. This is totally foreign to western literature. The middle line is the most important line and the point of the poem. The form is:

A
__B
____C
______D
____C1
__B1
A1

This is found all over the Bible!

Did I ever mention I read Hebrew? I've lost some, once I write my Greek final I am going to brush it up. I don't think it will ever be up to my Greek, but it is good to have a basic understanding of the language of the OT.

Sadly my mind does not work like everyone else's I can hardly retain much info and if I try to take in to much at a time my mind shuts down and if it becomes to complicated for my mind to deal with again my mind shuts down. Sadly the brain damage I obtained from cancer has made it hard for me in many ways and as much as I love to study bible prophecy I have to write everything I research down or else i will forget it the next day

Dont put yourself down, you are one of the most levelled headed thoughtful people
on here. I don't see brain damage. I see an intelligent young man.

Ps I have to everything down too, it's an age thingy.

Well I may have a learning disability and my mind may be much more slow than regular people but that has never stopped God. most of the words and insight and understanding that you see when I write on here is not my own it's borrowed from him. I was never one to speak my own words, I speak my heart but he is the words that come through. If you were to speak to me in real life and compare my words to the words written on here you might not recognize me.

Because of how my life made me I am very weak in the ways of the world and struggle with understanding simple matters however i think it is because of this that he chose to make me strong in his.
