The language of ivrit ( עברית ) Genesis 9, DTube Video #4
Welcome to my Hebrew reading & language series.
Genesis 9:12-15
We are reading about the covenant between Elohim and earth, between God and Noah and every living creature. The rainbow, His bow, had never been seen prior to this time. But, now that sunlight has been able to reach the surface of the earth, light can be refracted through droplets of water and produce the rainbow.
Earlier we had read that God had not caused it to rain yet, but the earth was watered by mist and springs that welled up. Then when he called Noah, he said he would send rain for forty days and forty nights. This presumes that rain would be a new thing, not just an extended normal rain event. There was no normal rain. It had never rained at any time before.
If this is the first rainbow, it is also logical to conclude that sunlight had never refracted through droplets of water. That would lead to a rather interesting assumption that sunlight had been blocked out by a thick canopy of cloud cover prior to the flood.
I have looked at many scenarios by scientists that theorize everything from an icy dome shell at the edge of space to a thick canopy of clouds that blocked sunlight and kept the earth at a temperate, even, jungle like, world-wide climate. I am not going to expand on that much, but it is interesting how many anomalies can be cleared up when the words of the Tanakh are taken as fact.
Please have a look and repeat the words after I point and read. See you in the comments section.

@hebrew,
Word tanakh, actually I didn't know about it so well, but I just read your article and will watch your latest teaching lesson of Hebrew as well! Really appreciate your effort and the way you teaching us this ancient language!
Shabbat Shalom~
It's hard to understand. But I see hieroglyphs, cute!!!
I couldn't fully watch the video, my network was glitchy really but I'm glad we're making progress with Genesis Chapter 9, detailing the pronounciations is really essential and I'm glad you did so with the three verses we read in Hebrew today. Once again, amazing teaching today.
A wonderful lesson @hebrew and I'm glad to learn again about the events of the Book of Genesis in Hebrew, the language of ancient wisdom!
Shabbat Shalom, un placer saludarlo. Intersante su post de hoy.
Muy interesante lo de la lluvia y el genesis, nunca lo había leido asi..s bueno leer la palabra de Dios en las santas Escrituras. Voy a investigar eso de que las nubes bloqueaban el cielo. pero no comprendo porque lo compara con la selva sur americana, dodn llueve bastante.
Un abrazo desde Venzuela.

Perfect introducing @hebrew. Your lessons had more values.
Steemians can learn good things from your language posts.
These teaching method powerful. So we can study it using some extra effort. If not, difficult to follow up. But these guidance enough to go further.
