Mysterious Hebrew
The language of the Jewish people is one of the most mysterious and ancient languages of the world. Some Jewish and Christian theologians even claim that the Lord Himself spoke to Adam and Eve in Hebrew in the Garden of Eden almost 6000 years ago!
Interestingly, the term «Hebrew», meaning «the Jewish language», appeared only recently. Perhaps it derived from the European “Hebraic” (Jewish). Nevertheless, for many centuries, the Jews called their language «the holy language.» Hebrew belongs to the Semitic family of languages as well as Arabic, Maltese, Amharic (Ethiopian).
Hebrew, according to scientists, is close to the ancient Canaanite and Phoenician languages as the three peoples speaking these languages lived side by side in XX-XI centuries BC and understood each other without interpreters.
The ancient Jewish or Phoenician script is also similar to the Canaanite. Many historians believe that the Phoenician letters evolved from Egyptian hieroglyphics. But the modern form of the Hebrew letters most likely has come from Babylon. The Hebrew script today is called the Assyrian or square script.
The Aramaic language significantly influenced Hebrew during the time when the Jewish people were exiled to Babylon. Hebrew ceased to be a living language closer to the IV century. At the same time there was a threat that the correct pronunciation of the texts of Sacred Scripture would be lost. Therefore, in the VI century diacritical marks appeared which refined pronunciation. Another interesting fact is that in ancient times vowels were not used in the Hebrew spelling. But over time, matres lectionis (from Latin «mothers of reading») indicating some vowel sounds appeared. And finally, in the era of the Talmud such «mothers of reading» were used constantly.
What is associated with Hebrew?
One can’t talk about Israel separately from Christianity. Every city, every mountain or spring silently testify to biblical events. Today in the streets of towns and villages you can hear the language in which the Virgin Mary sang lullabies to the Divine Infant and in which the adult Christ preached the new law of love for God and for the neighbor. The language has only slightly mutated over time.
The main city of Israel, Jerusalem is called the capital of three religions. Here you can find the Wailing Wall where the Jews place prayer notes three times a year. This city saw the last days of Christ’s earthly life, His death on the cross and resurrection. Muslims from all over the world come to worship one of their main shrines — the footprint of the prophet in a rock and three hairs from his beard.
The Dead Sea has been always attracting tourists. According to a legend, it appeared when the Lord overthrew the debauched cities of Sodom and Gomorrah in his anger. The high concentration of salt in the sea does not let people to drown and has a therapeutic effect.
The great shrines, unique architecture, beautiful nature and breath of ancient times at every step are associated with today Israel. Its language sounds like music in the hearts of guests. Our translation agency offers translations into different languages.
