The ancient language of ivrit ( עברית ) Genesis 1 - Part 6
The full study is now on line covering the Alef-Beyt is contained 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.
Last we left off with creation, the seas and dry land. Today we continue in b'resheet (Genesis) with the second part of day two. Look for the word for "that" (ah-share) and the word for "good" (tove) as we read. We can now easily learn "tree" (ayts) and "seed" (zerah) as we read.
I noted some structure and gender below. As with many languages, Hebrew has genders for things and people. I highlight some very basic examples of subject and object references to gender. And I will continue to explain them as we run into them. Learning languages is a combination of reading, speaking, listening, understanding and vocabulary.
Terms:
Subject; the person or thing performing an action.
Subject pronouns; I - he - she - it - we - they
Object; the one impacted by the action.
Object pronouns; me - him - her - it - us - them
(there is no "it" in Hebrew because things are either he or she)
Notice also that word order is switched when the subject is used, otherwise the he or she is part of the verb.
There is no word-for-word translation for most languages, for that reason the above would be interpreted as "the earth brought forth" and in this case it was "green vegitation."
The image says "she brought out" which is more accurate. When I read this the first time, I noticed that everything on the earth seemed to be created on the first day. Now the Almighty merely brings the grass and trees out of the ground and causes things to become...
Think about when you were conceived. Seed and egg joining. A brand new string of DNA. Everything you are now was there and just needed to become. You were probably bald and your hair needed to be bought out.

Thank you for posting these lessons @hebrew.
Very much enjoy the opportunity to read and see the Hebrew language especially in this particular way.
All the best to you.
Cheers.
Thank you for another great lesson! Trying to catch up.
In fact big thanks to @hebrew for this great opportunity to learn hebrew language. He is a good man giving us hope every week.
its really awesome job of The ancient language of ivrit,,, i appreciate you
Thank you very much @Hebrew. UpVoted and Resteemed. Going to listen now many many times. Until it sinks in. I love to Listen to this Holy Language every night before I go to sleep.
I am reading a bit faster now. I think if people need slow letter by letter pronunciation, they can listen to the first few. I still don't read as fluently the native speakers.
That's very modest of you Sir..
You are humble and a great teacher... I'm sure you will equally make an excellent father..
Thank you for coming down to see us this week..
More power to your elbow
@hebrew Your posts are always explicit and understandable your way of teachings are also excellent. Thanks for everything @hebrew
This is very good. Highlighting the corresponding gender really helps. Upvoted.
Great effort to introduce this amazing language thanks a lot.
This is an excellent Lesson. I have a friend who just joined Steemit a few days ago who paints Stories from the Bible (among many other things) and will see if he could share some of his work here with us ... @RevelationArt
That's great. Steemit is growing and I appreciate you and your friends always finding my posts and supporting me.
Your Blog is a Blessing.

To me hebrew language is like a language of an art. I love the way you mentioned Almighty merely brings the grass and trees...it is very interesting language, but also very difficult to learn. I kept looking at these words and it’s really beautiful language. It also makes it a bit easier because you don’t use “it” in Hebrew.
Great return of clases friend nice explaining thank you master of hebrew
