The language of ivrit ( עברית ) Genesis 3, DTube Video #1

in #hebrew6 years ago (edited)

Welcome to my DTube Hebrew reading & language series.

The full study is now on line covering the Alef-Beyt here in my blog. This is a beginners program to teach letters, vowels, and reading. The vowels are marked in this bible and are designed to help avoid confusion on what a word is and how it is pronounced. The confusion is obvious in the hundreds of interpretations globally. In modern Hebrew, only children need a niqqud or vowel marking for each letter. Old manuscripts also usually have vowels marked.


We are reading Genesis 3:1-5

The serpent comes on the scene all crafty and the first thing he does is question what the Father of all creation said.

Every time I hear someone say something like, "But God doesn't really mean we cannot have statues." or "Do we really have to relax and read the bible all day on Saturday?", followed by, "that doesn't seem right..."

Questioning what God did or did not say is the first sign you are heading off the straight and narrow. It is kind of like those bumps or grooves that you hear if you swerve onto the shoulder of the highway.

The other thing is that the serpent spoke to the woman. The best she could do was give him what is called "hear say" about what God did or did not say. That loving advice was spoken by God to the man in Genesis 2:17, before she was made. This is likely why she embellished the command, adding the part about not even touching the fruit as if that would be lethal.

The first had witness of what God had commanded was standing right there, some verbs spoken by the serpent are "you plural", and the Tanakh clearly said that the man was with her when she ate.

Dealing with the Devil

Deals with this thing always contain a twisted version of what God said, then a promise that is only partially true. "You will be like God," able to create whole worlds and animals? No, this deal would add just one aspect of God that would hardly be useful, ei; the cause of all murder, strife, and discontent, "knowing good and evil."

The serpent was not a snake

If it were, the order to crawl on its belly and eat dust would be like saying, "stay the same". I assume appendages were removed and also the ability to climb trees taken. Last I checked snakes are very good at climbing and prefer anything but dust. We may be talking about an earthworm or some larger version of it.

As we read further, some of what I said will clearly be seen as a converse truth, other parts will be obvious conjecture. Much can be learned by seeing what was said, if (fill in a scripture), then therefore (fill in the blank) must not be true.

@hebrew,
"Genesis 3:1-5" in Hebrew! It's pretty amazing and you found an interesting way to teach it! Specially the video lesson of reading is really helpful! Really appreciate your effort and thank you!

Shabbat Shalom~

Hello Teacher @hebrew I always feel an honor for me to interact with you because due to your efforts I made my basics of this wonderful language #hebrew good. The way you expressed the things in depth & details is highly appreciated. Being a Sociologist, I am always curious to know the various cultures of the world and cultures can be understood by knowing the languages of that region. I am so obliged that you gave me a detailed lesson about this awesome and an ancient language of the world.
I pray to God for your sound health Amen <3

very good your post @hebrew every day I learn many more things from the bible

Me gusto mucho esta lectura sobre el Génesis 3: 1-5, existen muchas interrogantes en cuanto a lo que hicieron Adán y Eva para ser expulsados del jardín del Edén!

Shabbat Shalom.... a very good lesson today. Upvoted.

Shabbat Shalom! I wish you did a series on the portion every week! But this is great! I am teaching my kids ancient history this year through homeschooling Torah. It’s a Torah based curriculum. It has been truly eye opening the misinterpretation we’ve done to Gods Word! Hope you are very successful with this! Blessings!

Agreed! It is wonderful that you can teach your children from home. For me, the blessing started rolling in when I stopped and looked at the Mitzvot and obeyed them. I have many friends who have done the same with the same results. Between keeping Shabbat and bringing the tithes into the storehouse so there may be food in His house, the windows of heaven have been opened in our lives. Shalom

Como siempre un excelente post, tus métodos de enseñanza muy agradables, gracias .

Oh oh!!!!
Better late than never, though I'm reading this late but I just have to share my own thought
Idolatry isn't a good thing.
I was expecting learning of Hebrew language as usual but the one you posted is awesome, taking me back to what the Bible says about idolatry and how we shouldn't have anything g to do with it.
Nice post.
@hebrew keep making us remember about jehovah and teaching us his doctrines

I'm happy to have read this

Those were just a couple examples. Then there is the part about "You shall not make for yourself a god in the image of..."

We say OMG and "My god would never say...." Guess what? If it is not in line with the God, then it is a god that you imagine would never say (fill in the blank), order (fill in the blank) or allow x, y or z.

A wonderful lesson, my friend and the interpretation of Being in Hebrew, the language of antiquity and wisdom is very interesting, especially the part where we are talking about the snake and how to understand what is happening! Thank you @hebrew
