Angel Saenz-Badillos,John Elwolde,Shelomo Morag: A History of the Hebrew Language

A History of the Hebrew Language


Description

A History of the Hebrew language is a comprehensive description of Hebrew from its Semitic origins and the earliest settlement of the Israelite tribes in Canaan to the present day. Although Hebrew is an 'oriental' language, it is nonetheless closely associated with Western culture as the language of the Bible and was used in writing by the Jews of Europe throughout the Middle Ages. It has also been newly revived in modern times as the language of the State of Israel. Professor Angel Saenz-Badillos sets Hebrew in the context of the Northwest Semitic languages and examines the origins of Hebrew and its earliest manifestations in ancient biblical poetry, inscriptions, and prose written before the Babylonian exile. He looks at the different mediaeval traditions of printing classical biblical Hebrew texts and the characteristic features of the post-exilic language, including the Hebrew of the Dead Sea Scrolls. He gives particular attention to Rabbinic and mediaeval Hebrew, especially as evidenced in writings from Spain. His survey concludes with the revival of the language this century in the form of Israeli Hebrew.

Sample passages: From Psalm 23 1 The Lord is my Fierce Protector and my Pastor. I always have more than enough. 2 He offers a resting place for me In his luxurious love. His tracks take me to an oasis of peace, The quiet brook of bliss. 3 That's where he restores and revives my life. He opens before me pathways to God's pleasure, And leads me along in his footsteps of righteousness, So that I can bring honor to his Name. 4 Lord, even when your path takes me through The valley of deepest darkness Fear will A History of the Hebrew Language download ebook never conquer me, for you already have! From Psalm 63 1 O God of my life, I'm lovesick for you in this weary wilderness. I thirst with the deepest longings to love you more, With cravings in my heart that can't be described. Such yearning grips my soul for you, my God! 2 I'm energized every time I enter Your heavenly sanctuary to seek more of your power And drink in more of your glory.
