Hebrew pictographs

[Sherrill]

This has really awed me! What great treasure for sure!

What book or teaching tools should I use to dig deeper...to keep more inline with the Bible...and it's truth?

I had come across that website before...that you or Ta-An had posted earlier in this thread... coming across that site is what moved me to want to learn more about Hebrew...several months ago...

Many Blessings...Brother.

Hi Sherrill!

I'm glad you find this useful. There is a guy that wrote a book on the subject I believe. His name is Frank something!?

When I showed my wife the symbols she got plastified copies made of the ancient Hebrew chart and together with a concordance or dictionary try different words. That's it! It's very rewarding to go digging for oneself. The Lord can teach you something through His words that cannot be conveyed another way. It adds to the richness of a bible study.

I do another type of study which I call "hidden words" but that is for another thread!

I am just wanting to stay away from the mystic part of it...stay to the basics of it......I have already printed out some things on this...

Thanks...

Here is some knowledge from the Torah.

In the beginning man was created in God's image. He was also clothed as God is clothed...in light!

How do we know this?

In Genesis

Gen 2:25And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.

a little further we read...

Gen.3:21Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them.

God is a tailor? Or else this is based on something else?

In Hebrew the skin is called "or" עור this is spelled with an ayin (meaning eye or sight)

Light in Hebrew is also "or" אור but with an aleph (for power)

This is a common word play in the Hebrew.

So man traded his fellowship with God and his clothing in the power of light for his eyes to be "opened" in order to see his own nakedness without God. He went from power to sight ...but this sight obscures God to him. Some tradeoff!!!!

Well this is just wonderful, Epi! I am very glad I came into this forum and you have made my day!
When I see in my concordance definitions: "from a dual", is that what this means? That there is a ...dual of the word which means the same thing but does NOT in fact mean the same thing?
One more question please. When you see a verse in concordance but there is no look up number to the right of it, what does this mean?
I lied - one more question - do you think if a definition makes no sense, that it is acceptable to then go backwards to the ROOT of the word to try to gain a better understanding, or would this be a very awful mistake?
Thank you!

It is the Spirit that guides into all truth. Having said that...I have a healthy scepticism where translations are concerned. I find that too many try to interpret the word rather than just render what seems to be written. That is why we must go back to the original language in order to go deeper into the intent of God.

When a concordance number is missing it could be for a few different reasons. For instance, there is no verb in Hebrew for "is" or "are" ...so when translating these verbs must be added to make sense out of the text.

But this liberty is too often extended to words that are added for a certain interpretation...or else the plural is changed to singular...etc

The truth is that the Hebrew cannot be truly translated one way. There are many meanings possible since there are so few words. This is the mystery of the bible...it can be studied for a lifetime!!!

Go as deep as the Lord guides you......go to the root....go to the source! The only thing at risk is a previous prejudice. The word is far richer than most realize.

It is often said that much is lost when translating from one language to another. This could not be more the case than when translating the Hebrew language from the biblical text. Not only do we have an ancient viewpoint to deal with, along with its inherent word plays and multiple meanings, but we also have the added dimension of an alphabet or should I say, “alephbet,” consisting of pictographs or symbols each having a meaning in themselves. Practically speaking, we have here what amounts to a language within a language. A language very different from our own and one that is read in the opposite way, namely, from right to left.

Oh, but this is wonderful!
You see such a seamless....parallel in Jesus and in beginning to walk by the Spirit!
You read the language from right to left. It is the opposite from what seems right to us. Everything He spoke was in direct opposition and reverse of what the world teaches us.
A language within a language - hidden.
A life within a life - hidden.
Oh, I could go on and on!
Lovely!

Thank you.
And when it says in a concordance definition: from a dual?

Shabbat Shalom Episkopos... I stumbled across your post today as I was trying to find information on Pictographs. From the look of things, it seems you have a good base for pictographs and the Hebrew meaning behind the words. Are there any books, CDs, DVDs, or audio's you can suggest I can start with to learn as you have. At this point I know a little Yiddish, which I'm sure you know is not the same as the Hebrew language. Any information you can provide would be appreciated. I also sent you a friend request.

Shalom lecha!!!! Welcome here!

The chart shown on this link will help you to decipher Hebrew words for their meaning according to their pictograms...It is a great chart to start off with...I think you can download it and keep it with your Tanach.

How I got started wasI was asked by a lady what "Eden" meant....she had heard that I was studying Hebrew. Of course it means a paradise, but upon looking at the letters I realized that an ayin is an eye...a dalet is a door...and a nun was a seed. So I told her "to see the door to life" I was hooked after that.

There are many hidden words in the Hebrew as well...very deep mysteries that are revealed as you prayerfully seek for the truth!

Enjoy!

Hi i have a question, in exodus during the plague of darkness it says no one could see anyone else, or something to that effect in 3 different englsih translations i checked. my friend said tho that the actual hebrew word was brother(and there is actually a big difference from ur brother than from just anyone). so anyone have any idea why complete jewish bible niv and i forgot what other one said anyone or people instead of brother? thanks!

[person]

Yeah i jsut found out something very interesting. Lev(Lamed Vet) is the word for heart/mind. so its staff/goad/control/toward and house/in so its control of ur house(which is ur body); the heart/mind controls the body

Go one better.

The letters of the Hebrew word "man" and "woman" have two in common, that spell "fire" and two that differ, that spell "God".

If a marriage doesn't have "God" in it all that's left is "fire".

Hi there my wise friend
Love it! when you first get married you think that your passion for each other will last forever and maybe it will but add God into the mix and well, fire without God, no contest
I know very little about the Hebrew language but it seems to have more depth to it than many others. Wonder why

Thank you, I feel and urge to learn something new coming on!

It means "mark", and in Phonecian it is an "X" not a cross.

You try too hard.

What's the Hebrew word for .. provocative?
