Ancient Hebraic

I've been studying Paleo Hebraic now for a little over a year along w/ Sephardic Hebrew. At the point now when translating modern Hebrew into ancient Hebraic allows to understand the meaning because each letter is pictographic combined w/ other words begins to form a story and in its completed word the word has the meaning of the story. Over time the "meaning" was lost for phonetics or how each letter "sounds". Paleo Hebrew is Phoenician and/or the core language for the Canaanite alphabet.
In English we are taught the meaning of each word rather than being able to determine the definition of each word by every letter that forms the completed word. What we are taught is then committed to memory. I'm finally at the point when translating from modern Hebrew to Ancient Hebraic that the result is the resulting meaning to help comprehension. I never expected this to happen! This has been quite a fascinating journey and archaeology adds to the excitement whenever an ancient ruin is discovered and some passage from future Scriptural language exists!
These original forms are the language found in caves on walls, animal skins, clay vessels, stones, etc. Now, I'm trying to figure out how to load this into a keyboard and map it out so I can write it digitally.






Genesis in the original Paleo form, the precursor for sematic languages such as Aramaic, Arabic, and Hebrew.



Anybody else look into or study Paleo Hebrew?

Paleo Hebraic - Isaiah School

Paleo Hebraic I've been studying Paleo Hebraic now for a little over a year along w/ Sephardic Hebrew. I'm at the point now when translating modern Hebrew into ancient Hebraic, a surprise turn of events has surfaced in that translating from modern Hebrew to ancient Hebraic allows understanding...

Fascinating!

I consider this a vital to unlocking scripture… providing you can both read & understand.

Then Latin to understand the myriad of early church teaching. And of course Koyne Greek! Then you can truly unpack & understand ancient scriptures and church machinations.

You can then publish your findings and be criticized by all the naysayers. Are you sure want to go down that path dear brother?

I'm not nor do I want to be a teacher. If somebody asks for a reference, I'm happy to suggest a good book. Whatever they do or do not do w/ it is on them. I can't control nor do I care to control what others believe anymore. I'd rather dissocialize from the critics especially the ones w/ a little bit of knowledge (reminds me of the Calvinist Cage Stage).

Yea.. I hear you. If you want to/ have to fight try the MMA. Smile

Very cool thread. Do we have any OT mss in it?

I've taken Hebrew and study it, but never paleo Hebrew.

Nice, you'll be my go-to guy John for Hebrew questions or help. I actually found the Paleo comforting, because I realized that before Babel... well, there really might have been the universal language serving as a kind of Q Document (Gnostic Hypothesis).

Articles such as these I find intriguing: The Story of the Old Hebrew Script

As well as the information pertaining to the contrasting Cuneiform language of Mesopotamia and how Paleo Hebrew falls in throughout the history of Babylon.

I did play w/ Ancient Egyptian Hieroglyphics for a bit nothing serious, but a sense of familiarity existed during the brief study. Was all new to me, that is the pictographs, phonetics, and mnemonics of the ancient Egyptians. What I found most interesting was that the language could be written from left to right or right to left and for indication the direction of the central figure's eyes points towards the direction of the language.

While I think it interesting how ancient man is depicted as a knuckle dragging caveman the language undoubtedly was highly developed. While growing up I considered myself more of a visual learner rather than linguistical, so this form of writing by pictographs has offered mental stimulation that was absent in any other languages I learned while growing up but long forgotten for lack of daily usage: Korean, Spanish, and French.

I know our Lutheran synod offers Hebrew classes too even through online courses, but I am content from book learning. I haven't seriously engaged myself in grammatical structure beyond the basics of adjective and verb placement etc., the Chaldee Lexicon I have by Benjamin Davis doesn't appeal much to me yet. Perhaps one day for more serious study.

We were missionaries to Japan for 33 years, so I also am fascinated by pictographs. As I'm sure you know, Chinese characters are usually word pictures, and we had to learn 1000s of those in Japanese class.

Noam Chomsky, well known linguist, has a theory of universal grammar, according to which all humans have an innate ability to learn language. I think this points back to Eden, and thus Babel. Also, some linguists say there are about 70 language families or isolates (Japanese, Korean, etc.), so to me that points to Babel.

To explain a joke or my humor:

Background context, I've been excited from my studies in Paleo Hebrew. Paleo Hebrew is an ancient language, long story short the writings I'm fascinated by appear on cave walls, stones, animal skins, clay pottery, etc. The ancients are considered by Evolutionist to be cave knuckle dragging primates. That's what inspired this which was meant to be humorous, suppose I'm one of them - that is, captain caveman. I mixed a little passive aggressiveness by the hand on hip "scholarly" critics to fan the fire.

Synopsis, the original language the Scriptures were written are considered by some as descriptively from the "holy tongue". The opposition calls them primates because of the pictographic nature of the language. Maybe I can find a job as a Mime after this? Gotta love evolution because the banana evolved to fit perfectly in the human hand.
