<bb>>Hebrewb>bb>> language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

While the term "<bb>>Hebrewb>bb>>" as a nationality is customarily used to refer to the ancient Israelites, the classical <bb>>Hebrewb>bb>> language was extremely similar to the Canaanite languages spoken by their neighbors, such as Phoenician; indeed, Moabite and <bb>>Hebrewb>bb>> are often considered to be two dialects of the same language.
<bb>>Hebrewb>bb>> is a Semitic language of the Afro-Asiatic language family spoken by 6 million people mainly in Israel, parts of the Palestinian territories, the United States and by Jewish communities around the world.
The Soviet authorities considered <bb>>Hebrewb>bb>> a "reactionary language" since it was associated with both Judaism and Zionism, and it was officially banned by the Narkompros (Commissariat of Education) as early as 1919.

TIC Talk 25

Most scholars of <<bb>>bb>bb>>>Mishnaicb>bb>>bb>bb>>> <bb>>Hebrewb>bb>> see 200 CE as a watershed between the time when <bb>>Hebrewb>bb>> had the status of a colloquial language and the time when it became restricted mainly to the synagogue and rabbinical 'schools.' The <bb>>Hebrewb>bb>> of the Mishnah is not Biblical <bb>>Hebrewb>bb>>, but a separate dialectal development.
The widely accepted theory among <<bb>>bb>bb>>>Mishnaicb>bb>>bb>bb>>> <bb>>Hebrewb>bb>> scholars that colloquial <bb>>Hebrewb>bb>> died out in Galilee in the 2nd-3rd centuries CE still favors Aramaic as the dominant language there and thus, implicitly, as Jesus's major language for teaching, at least in Galilee.
On the one hand, conservative readings of <<bb>>bb>bb>>>mishnaicb>bb>>bb>bb>>> evidence suggest that Jewish teaching and language use was mainly in <bb>>Hebrewb>bb>> before the destruction of the temple.

Section 3.

<<bb>>bb>bb>>>Mishnaicb>bb>>bb>bb>>> <bb>>Hebrewb>bb>> represented the last stage at which the language had led a 'natural' life, having evolved with restricted syntactic yet increasing lexical influence from Aramaic, thereby 'bearing the stamp of colloquial usage' (Sáenz-Badillos 1993: 163).
The consequences for the linguistic study of Modern <bb>>Hebrewb>bb>> were that contemporary usage was seen as an exclusive feature of colloquial spoken <bb>>Hebrewb>bb>>, since the written language was considered to be a quasi-pure Classical <bb>>Hebrewb>bb>>, affected more directly by the source-based efforts of enrichment (Rosén 1977: 20).
For example, in his posthumously published History of the <bb>>Hebrewb>bb>> Language, E.Y. Kutscher wrote that 'the day the Bible will have to be translated into Israeli <bb>>Hebrewb>bb>> will mark the end of the special attitude of the Israeli toward the Bible' (1982: 298).

The Chosen Language of a Chosen People; A History of the <bb>>Hebrewb>bb>> Language

Indeed, the stages in history of the language--Biblical <bb>>Hebrewb>bb>>, <<bb>>bb>bb>>>Mishnaicb>bb>>bb>bb>>> <bb>>Hebrewb>bb>>, Medieval <bb>>Hebrewb>bb>>, and Modern <bb>>Hebrewb>bb>>--follow the pattern of prophecy regarding the House of Israel: the language would enjoy a period of greatness, then be scattered and taken into captivity, and left as a remnant to come forth and blossom as the rose.
<<bb>>bb>bb>>>Mishnaicb>bb>>bb>bb>>> <bb>>Hebrewb>bb>>, therefore, ceased to be spoken as its surviving speakers were scattered throughout the world (Horowitz 6, Ausubel 199).
The period of language history known as Biblical <bb>>Hebrewb>bb>> began with a period of greatness; <bb>>Hebrewb>bb>> was the language of the Bible -- a work which many revere and which indeed blesses the earth.

Period of the Second Temple, 538 BC-AD 70 (from <bb>>Hebrewb>bb>> literature) -- Encyclopædia Britannica

The biblical <bb>>Hebrewb>bb>> of the writings was artificial because it had ceased to be spoken and had been replaced by Aramaic, a related Semitic language, and <<bb>>bb>bb>>>Mishnaicb>bb>>bb>bb>>> <bb>>Hebrewb>bb>>.
The language of ancient Israel was <bb>>Hebrewb>bb>>, one of the Semitic languages of the Middle East.
It is the language in which most of the <bb>>Hebrewb>bb>> Bible—what Christians call the Old Testament—was originally written (see bible).

Jesus Spoke <bb>>Hebrewb>bb>>: busting the Aramaic Myth

<bb>>Hebrewb>bb>> continued to be used as a spoken and written language … in the New Testament period”.
It hardly needs to be said that such a people, so jealous of their <bb>>Hebrewb>bb>> scroll and so zealous for the preservation of the spoken <bb>>Hebrewb>bb>> language down to this day, spoke <bb>>Hebrewb>bb>> at the time of Christ.
To the Jewish people, it was <bb>>Hebrewb>bb>> that was “the Holy Tongue”, whereas Aramaic was seen as “the language of the Evil Force”.

<<bb>>bb>bb>>>Mishnaicb>bb>>bb>bb>>> <bb>>Hebrewb>bb>>

By the first century <<bb>>bb>bb>>>Mishnaicb>bb>>bb>bb>>> <bb>>Hebrewb>bb>> was the common language of the indigenous population of Roman Judea albeit classical <bb>>Hebrewb>bb>> was used in Temple worship and in synagogue liturgy.
With the discovery of the Bar-Kochba letters the evidence suggests that <<bb>>bb>bb>>>Mishnaicb>bb>>bb>bb>>> <bb>>Hebrewb>bb>> was the prevalent language of a Judean bilingual society wherein the population likely spoke fluent <<bb>>bb>bb>>>Mishnaicb>bb>>bb>bb>>> <bb>>Hebrewb>bb>>, Aramaic and Greek.
Note that Paul spoke to the people, after being taken into custody by the Roman military guard, in the <bb>>Hebrewb>bb>> language (Acts 21:40) and that Papias held that Matthew first wrote his gospel in <bb>>Hebrewb>bb>> (Eusebius 39.10, Boyle 1955:127) as held Pantaenus (Eusebius 5.10, Boyle 1955:190).

BIBLICAL <bb>>HEBREWb>bb>> LINKS - <bb>>Hebrewb>bb>>

Ancient <bb>>Hebrewb>bb>>, the language of the Bible, was succeeded by an intermediary form, <<bb>>bb>bb>>>Mishnaicb>bb>>bb>bb>>> <bb>>Hebrewb>bb>>, about the 3rd century BC.
The primary purpose for HaKesher (<bb>>Hebrewb>bb>> for The Connection) is to assist believers in the development of a deeper, more mature and meaningful faith through the study of <bb>>Hebrewb>bb>> language and culture.
These are different from the tools used for modern <bb>>Hebrewb>bb>> because the languages are substantially different, and because the study of ancient texts, written in "dead" or "literary" languages, such as BH (biblical <bb>>Hebrewb>bb>>), is fundamentally different from the study of modern languages.

Biblical_Hebrew

Biblical <bb>>Hebrewb>bb>> or Classical <bb>>Hebrewb>bb>> is the ancient form of the <bb>>Hebrewb>bb>> languages as spoken by the Israelites, in which the <bb>>Hebrewb>bb>> Bible (Torah and Tanakh) was originally written.
From a linguistic point of view, the Classical <bb>>Hebrewb>bb>> language is usually divided into two periods: Biblical <bb>>Hebrewb>bb>>, and Roman Era <bb>>Hebrewb>bb>>, having very distinct grammatical patterns.
Roman Era <bb>>Hebrewb>bb>>, or <<bb>>bb>bb>>>Mishnaicb>bb>>bb>bb>>> <bb>>Hebrewb>bb>>, has further grammatical influences from Greek and Parsi, mainly through the dialect of Aramaic which was the Lingua franca of the area at the time.

Words and their History by Kutscher

Aramaic was important in another respect: it served as a medium for the introduction into <bb>>Hebrewb>bb>> of words from Akkadian, the language of the Babylonians and Assyrians, though it is true that many Akkadian terms found their way into <bb>>Hebrewb>bb>> in a period preceding the influences of Aramaic.
Such coinages, i.e., the use of <bb>>Hebrewb>bb>> words phonetically resembling the foreign words whose meanings they were to take over, were common in the nineteenth century when revivers of the language did not yet dare to create genuinely new terms.
The number of Latin words in <<bb>>bb>bb>>>Mishnaicb>bb>>bb>bb>>> <bb>>Hebrewb>bb>> is comparatively small, in spite of the Roman conquest of Palestine (from the first century BCE onwards).

(Even worse: imposing Biblical grammar on the <bb>>Hebrewb>bb>> expressions in Yiddish.) The best source for <<bb>>bb>bb>>>Mishnaicb>bb>>bb>bb>>> <bb>>Hebrewb>bb>> is the Mishnah itself, particularly as it appears in the Kaufmann Codex, an ancient VOCALIZED ms.
This is particulary important for the <bb>>Hebrewb>bb>> language, which has a long history with many layers.
A common mistake is to impose Biblical grammar on <<bb>>bb>bb>>>Mishnaicb>bb>>bb>bb>>> <bb>>Hebrewb>bb>>, an error which I have commented on many times on this list.
