| | Hebrew language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | While the term "Hebrew" as a nationality is customarily used to refer to the ancient Israelites, the classical Hebrew language was extremely similar to the Canaanite languages spoken by their neighbors, such as Phoenician; indeed, Moabite and Hebrew are often considered to be two dialects of the same language. | | | Hebrew 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 Hebrew 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. |

| | Most scholars of Mishnaic Hebrew see 200 CE as a watershed between the time when Hebrew had the status of a colloquial language and the time when it became restricted mainly to the synagogue and rabbinical 'schools.' The Hebrew of the Mishnah is not Biblical Hebrew, but a separate dialectal development. | | | The widely accepted theory among Mishnaic Hebrew scholars that colloquial Hebrew 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 mishnaic evidence suggest that Jewish teaching and language use was mainly in Hebrew before the destruction of the temple. |

| | Section 3. |
| | Mishnaic Hebrew 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 Hebrew were that contemporary usage was seen as an exclusive feature of colloquial spoken Hebrew, since the written language was considered to be a quasi-pure Classical Hebrew, affected more directly by the source-based efforts of enrichment (Rosén 1977: 20). | | | For example, in his posthumously published History of the Hebrew Language, E.Y. Kutscher wrote that 'the day the Bible will have to be translated into Israeli Hebrew 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 Hebrew Language |
| | Indeed, the stages in history of the language--Biblical Hebrew, Mishnaic Hebrew, Medieval Hebrew, and Modern Hebrew--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. | | | Mishnaic Hebrew, 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 Hebrew began with a period of greatness; Hebrew was the language of the Bible -- a work which many revere and which indeed blesses the earth. |

| | The biblical Hebrew of the writings was artificial because it had ceased to be spoken and had been replaced by Aramaic, a related Semitic language, and Mishnaic Hebrew.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

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

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

| | Biblical Hebrew or Classical Hebrew is the ancient form of the Hebrew languages as spoken by the Israelites, in which the Hebrew Bible (Torah and Tanakh) was originally written. | | | From a linguistic point of view, the Classical Hebrew language is usually divided into two periods: Biblical Hebrew, and Roman Era Hebrew, having very distinct grammatical patterns. | | | Roman Era Hebrew, or Mishnaic Hebrew, 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. |

| | Aramaic was important in another respect: it served as a medium for the introduction into Hebrew of words from Akkadian, the language of the Babylonians and Assyrians, though it is true that many Akkadian terms found their way into Hebrew in a period preceding the influences of Aramaic. | | | Such coinages, i.e., the use of Hebrew 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 Mishnaic Hebrew is comparatively small, in spite of the Roman conquest of Palestine (from the first century BCE onwards). |

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