Things that you should know about the Hebrew
Language
  • Hebrew is the language of the Bible and it has
    been there ever since the early 20th century. It
    is one of the modern languages spoken in Israel.
    If you are planning to learn Hebrew, let us go
    through a few important things that will make the
    process easy for you.
  • Easy Learn Hebrew offers one of the best Hebrew
    lessons. Without further ado, let us know a few
    important things about the storied language.
  • Hebrew is related to Aramaic and Arabic and its
    original version did not have vowels
  • Hebrew is a Semitic language, just like Arabic
    and Aramaic and similar to the several other
    ancient languages, it doesn't have vowels in it.
    However, sometimes between the beginning and
    middle of the first Millenium, the system of
    dashes and dots demonstrates the pronunciation of
    words. Traditional Hebrew writings still don't
    contain vowels.

  • The Alphabet has 22 Letters
  • There are a total of 22 alphabets in the Hebrew
    language. The alphabet is generally referred to
    as the aleph-bet in Hebrew. In addition to the
    alphabets, the language includes five final
    letters as well. It includes mem, khaf, pey, nun,
    and tzade. These are generally the last letters
    of the word and are written differently.
  • Hebrew dates back to Second Millenium BCE
  • The initial Hebrew texts date from the end of the
    second millennium BCE. It was earlier employed as
    a language that is both spoken and written, until
    the fall of Jerusalem in 587 BCE. After this, the
    language was primarily used as a liturgical and
    literary language.
  • Easy Learn Hebrew offers lessons to learn Hebrew
    for Christians. No other choice is better than
    them, as far as Hebrew is concerned.
  • Hebrew was considered as the language of God and
    Angels
  • Since Hebrew is a language of sacred texts, the
    language was considered sacred very often. In
    biblical times, it was considered a holy
    language. As per the rabbinic tradition, Hebrew
    was considered as a language of Humanity. It was
    also thought of as a tool that God used to create
    the world.
  • Not all important Hewish texts are in Hebrew
  • The bible is written in Hebrew, as is the
    Mishnah, the corpus of Jewish Law edited during
    the third and second century CE. The literature
    of medieval Jewish is written in a combination of
    Aramaic and Hebrew. Journals, literature and
    newspapers were all written in Hebrew, however, a
    lot of problems were faced while adapting to the
    language.
  • Conclusion
