Hebrew is a lovely language

Hebrew is a lovely language

and this is a beautiful phrase

for a wonderful Savior !!!

"Baruch Hashem Ha Mashiach Yeshua

Baruch Hashem Adonai"

What does it mean? Taking it word by word:

Baruch means "blessed" 
Hashem means "the name" (and it can be used to refer to the word "God" since in the Jewish literature the name of God must not be mentioned in vain. )
Ha Mashiach means "the Messiah" or "Christ"  
Yeshua is the Hebrew name for "Jesus"

Adonai means "Lord" 

Put together, the full translation will read: 
"Blessed be the name of Jesus Christ (or Jesus the Messiah),

Blessed be the name of the Lord"

I learned this Hebrew phrase in a song by a Messianic group called Lamb. 

I posted this in the video forum. Those interested in it can hear it over there. Below is a short cut I created for you to click on which will take you straight there. Hope it blesses you.

In case anyone is interested in learning a bit of Hebrew, here are a few links to material I've been using as part of my Hebrew studies.

https://www.mechon-mamre.org/p/pt/pt00.htm    This contains links to audio of the Hebrew OT.    Note that the beginning of the Genesis 1 MP3 contains a few words (which as closely as I can follow) are basically saying this is the first book of the torah.   The first part of Genesis 1:1 sounds roughly like:   Bar eh sheet baa rah elohim et ha shah mime ve et ha erat.   

https://catalog.hathitrust.org/Record/008734255   This is a link to an interlinear version of Genesis and Exodus.   Click on the "full view" link to see it.   There are several pages of introduction and descriptions before the text of Genesis.  

I have this interlinear (as an old book) and have downloaded the MP3s to my computer so I can play and replay them through my computer.  At first, I just repeatedly listened to the first 30 to 60 seconds and tried to follow along.  I used Audacity (audio editing software) to listen to make it easy to select particular words or phrases to play over and over.   At first, it was gibberish to me, then certain words (e.g. elohim) started to jump out at me each time I heard them.  After awhile, I found more and more words started to make sense as I heard them and saw them.   The interlinear is basically like training wheels on a bicycle.  I have a regular Hebrew OT (no English anywhere) that I can now enjoyably read Gen 1 with decent comprehension as well as understand much of it while listening without looking at the text.  I'm now slowing working into chapter 2.  In the upcoming months, I'll do some work on details of grammar to get a better sense of some things.  But for now, I'm just working at internalizing the sights and sounds of Hebrew so that it starts to become familiar to me.

@GandalfTheWise  Hi. I appreciate the links you shared. May the Lord bless you in your endeavour to learn Hebrew.

Shalom everyone,

I have recently posted a video in the Videos section under Biblical Topics called "Hebrew - the divine language of Yahweh" (sorry I don't know how to link to it!)

It's an absolutely amazing scientific study into Hebrew words that has completely changed my view of the language.  I highly recommend a watch if you have an hour to spare as more believers and non-believers need to know this stuff.

Love & Shalom

Shalom. 

I think the Hebrew language is beautiful and interesting, and I started to learn it on my own some time ago. 

I am able to read 📖 a little now if the niquds are there.

Our Bibles must be understood from the Hebrew language. Also from the culture of the day. Translations of which the English Bible is from the original language dilute meanings and in many cases loose the intended original meanings of words from the original Hebrew language. It is inevitable each time there is a translation from one language to another this happens. English is about 4 - 5 languages down the line possibly even more. We are reading a very diluted and in many cases redefined translation of the original. Throw in with that the culture which was very different from our own. 

Please private message me if you would like a website where you can find out a lot more about this. As I am not aloud to "self promote" here. Ironic though as many others are aloud to put up links to videos and other sites. 

Shalom Aleichem

Did you know that Hebrew was called Yehudite in the biblical days?

The term for the Hebrew language that would have been used by the prophet Isaiah in 700 B.C.Eor the priest Ezra in 400 B.C.EisYehudite(יהודית /yehûḏîṯ/), which is derived from the word for the territory of Judah (יהודה /yehûḏâ/) and is also generally used for the ethnic group Judean/Jew (יהודי /yehûḏî/) in postexilic biblical literature, Qumran literature, and rabbinic literature.
