Black Christians : Reading the Bible in Hebrew.. (and some Hebrew language tools)

[skuderjaymes]

This site has a transliteration of the original Hebrew that will allow you to study the original language. I have to say.. it's really really interesting to speak and hear these verses in their original linguistic context.

Here is a link to a Hebrew course.. it's modern Hebrew so it won't be directly applicable to the OT but it would help you read modern Hebrew books and analysis of the OT.

The Hebrew Basic Course is designed to teach spoken and written modern Hebrew that is the ordinary, informal speech of educated native Israelis. It is not intended as a text for the study of the Old Testament or other Hebrew literature.

The teacher in this short tutorial reads directly from Genesis 1:3 so you can follow along with the first link and learn pronunciation.

Peace In,

Peace In,

I'm studying Hebrew linguistics now.. I understand why black churches didn't make Hebrew a priority back in the day.. But now in this Internet age the expense of learning Hebrew is all but gone.. I would like to see churches embrace learning the languages of the bible and see some scholarship based in the Original Hebrew, Aramaic and also the Greek translations. I think the ability to understand the primary and secondary sources will launch the black church into a new era.

.......Yes Sir, must agree with you on this. I've been called many things I'm sure, but what I'm most proud of is being an optimist, we will get to where we are going, eventually, lol....


Peace In,
