[@sarasalis9774]

Surprised to find biblical hebrew course lessons online for free. On an urge decided to learn hebrew language well it has proved frutiful. Dr.Bill your method of teaching is excellent and easy to follow. Have downloaded the free course workbook and answer key. Very grateful from India. 24th Feb 2021.

[@dormiebasne3578]

A useful book for learning Biblical Hebrew would be "The First Hebrew Primer" written by simon, resnikoff and motzkin. You can find a PDF for free with the first ten chapters very easily by google search and the book is not very expensive with the amount of information it contains. I do not know if it is available to be shipped in your country, but I hope you can at least find the snippets digitally and make some use of them.

I went to Dr. Barrick's Website, and for free, downloaded both the Textbook & Workbook. This is fantastic ... Getting books and course at a price, and a speed I can handle. All the efforts of those involved is very much appreciated. THANX!

I have a question for you, since he talking about not needing me to tell us the truth of the scripture. Revelation 20:4,5. And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were >>>>beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and >>>they>out of great tribulation

[@peterkennedy8011]

@@fiery.mercaba thats the point interpretation

[@fiery.mercaba]

@@peterkennedy8011, your post addressed to me requires better articulation & elaboration for me to make heads or tails of it. ("Make heads or tails" of something is an idiomatic way of speaking of "understanding," so when I say I need a properly structured statement from you (i.e. employing punctuation marks & other things of grammar) & also a bit more details from you to "make heads or tails" of your, I am saying I do not currently understand what exactly it is that you are saying, & I am not one who likes to assume.) Why I am just now responding, responding some "7 months" later, per You Tube, is that I don't recall being aware of this post of yours addressed to me from "7 months ago" until just now, & I am only back here again because of a most recent respondent in this thread addressing their own post to me. Maybe you are juggling so many things even as I have been & still am, & maybe will not be notified by YT of this post addressed to you now, or YT will but then you'll forget to revisit to answer me, & so, for whatever the reason, will not be able to respond right away or maybe not at all. I don't know. Let's see how it goes. But, again, as of now, what you were intending to express to me I've not been able to perceive.

[@fiery.mercaba]

Does who "teach Biblical Hebrew properly," @6 Poins Ahead? Who are you referring? And why to me? I do not understand at this point.

[@Sam-dc9bg]

Thank you for the lesson. Your lessons are just about the only study material I have found that didn't confuse me. Looking forward to the rest of the class.

[@theresasorrels6578]

So impressed with your teaching. I would love to have the workbook.

[@KorenJoy]

it's available for free on his website, as well as the textbook and the syllabus (to know what reading and work is required before each video)! So far the textbook seems very compact unlike some wordier textbooks I've read for college courses, so don't be afraid of it! The website is debillbarrick.org. You'll find the course materials under the Courses tab on the Hebrew Grammar I page.

[@lampkin9287]

It’s interesting to hear the students answers of why they feel that it’s important for them to learn Biblical Hebrew. You can hear they bias and schools of influence in their answers. It’s rare that we research subjects out before we drive in to them. Hebrews is a great start when studying the text of scriptures for understanding. It gives us a reference point for translation and looking deep into the different schools of Hebrew.

[@kijihigh6826]

Your teaching is amazing! Hebrew is so very easy now. I love it! God is so wonderful to allow us to study His Language!!! Professor Barrick, you have a gift for teaching! May we use our time to bring forth goodness and the Glory of God through His Word. My time is spent with Him. No waiting time here. Preparing for the Bride Groom. The end draws nigh. Be blessed!

Bris is not the modern Hebrew pronunciation. It is the traditional Ashkenazi pronunciation. The modern Hebrew pronunciation is "brit", but many Hebrew words are pronounced with the "s" sound for the last letter thav, because of Yiddish influence.

[@felipesccosta3677]

[@user-vc5oc5yi4q]

I don't know why English speakers say sin before Shin, we say Shin first. (Maybe because the letter Shin does not exist in their alphabet).

[@Miho-tk9qf]

Does anybody know which version of the workbook he’s using? The exercise on the vowels (C) doesn’t look the same as the slide. There are so many more pointings on the exercise in the revised version of the workbook (2004).

[@helcium2022]

Alef is said to be guttural because originally it is supposed to be pronounced as guttural stop and not as a silent consonant. The 'ayin had originally not a silent sound, but some kind of guttural friction, such the Arabic counterpart, also called 'ayin is pronounced, which is also absolutely not silent. The Yemenite Jews pronounce it the same way the Arabic speakers do nowadays.

[@antoniodissenha1810]

Hélcio Machado Pimentel are you Brazilian, Hélcio. I am Brazilian as well, living in Ciritiba. I am studying Hebrew now, and I also studied Arabic for three semesters and I had the same idea about Ayin. it makes a lot of sense. Please let me know if you would like to make acquaintance. best regard!

[@lampkin9287]

Ελκιον Πιμεντελ yeah it has like an ng sound attached to it

I don't remember what song it's based on, but the woman and her husband took a song that already existed, and overlaid the Hebrew alphabet onto it Very similar to English ABCs being to the tune of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star

[@natachathebeau3702]

French sound for R is a roll in the throat. Is this the same for Resh? It can be hard for English speakers to pronounce, but would make sense as a guttural.

[@raeveth]

Yes

[@robbsany6051]

In classical pronunciation it's pronounced as a tap, like the Spanish R or the (American) English T in Peter. In modern pronunciation, it's pronounced similarly to the French R.

[@tidakkacau9450]

What is the Full Letter Vowel 20:19? What are those? When and where did Mr. Barrick intruduced it before? Is it in this lecture 3 or previous lecture?

[@ahanz5757]

The half letter vowels are from 1:06:23 onwards. So that means that the full letter vowels are those vowels before this slide. The previous slide, the last letter 'beret' is also a half vowel. 😀😃😄

[@Lashard89]

my only question is the yod sometimes its a eee or iiii then sometimes its a ayy sound why is that

and the related workbook?

Are The Man-Made Vowel-Marks Inspired, Or Corrupting Influences? The Hebrew scholars of today fully defend the uninspired vowel manipulations that have corrupted the phonology of Hebrew. The Hebrew letters as they were originally written without these vowel marks enable future generations to “call” on the Name (see Psalm 102:18), but the Masoretes’ niqqud marks were designed to do the opposite. They divert a reader away from pronouncing the Name. They have caused great damage to the language, and caused His people to “howl.” (see YashaYahu 52:5, also Psalm 2)

[@rennyskiathitis5878]

You would have no idea how to pronounce the language if it wasn't for the Masoretes. They didn't put Niqqud for the name YHVH because in Judaism you don't pronounce that name. Try and show a little gratitude.

[@classiqueliberal8576]

No, you cannot equally say antisemitism refers to Arabs. That is not where the term comes from.

[@marthajulian7064]

ethiopic ??? Does he mean Ethiopian??? Phoenishin;??? Does he mean Phoenician???

[@linguasamo5888]

Yes, but Ethiopic and Ethiopian are both interchangeable adjectives. Phoenician, Ethiopian or Ethiopic, Akkadian, Biblical Hebrew and Hebrew are Semitic languages

[@arjunarya1566]

[@theqodeshim7352]

Why is this being used to replace the Biblical Hebrew? Why is the Yiddish script being taught as modern Hebrew? Please explain your thinking on “why” it’s being replaced with Yiddish writing script. Lastly, do you understand that the word Yiddish is translated as Jewish. They are the same exact word. “Jewish” means “Yiddish” when translated. They are equivalent. The Deception begins in the languages

[@classiqueliberal8576]

ROFLOL. It's not Yiddish script. It is referred to as Assyrian script and the reason he uses it, as he explained in another video, is that it is how you will find all your Bibles printed.

[@rennyskiathitis5878]

@@classiqueliberal8576 She's an antisemite.

[@jdwillis007]

Keep in mind that the modern Hebrew has been distorted with other outside influences. The Responsible party that twisted the letter alef (A) into ayin (E), was by a Karaite sect called the Masoretes. This same sect began with Anan Ben David in 767 CE/AD, this sect of Masoretes (traditionalists) did not want anyone uttering the true Name YOD-HAY-UAU-HAY as "Yahuah," so they invented vowel distortions with niqqud and cantillation marks to train those reading Hebrew to mispronounce words. ALAHIM (or ALAHYM) became "ELOHIM." YAHU became YEHO. They left the name ABRAHIM alone for some unknown reason, otherwise it would be EBRAHIM today. The Hebrew root "AL" (ALEF-LAMED) became "EL." This root is not a name of any kind, it is a pronoun implying lofty, upward, highness, strength, mightiness, etc. The Israeli airline EL-AL means to go + upward. EL-AL is spelled ayin-lamed (EL) + alef-lamed (AL). YAHUAH ALAHIM fully translated means: "I WAS, I AM, I WILL BE (your) MIGHTY ONE." Conclusion: What is a vowel, or a better question would be, what's the basic & actual meaning of a vowel,? Answer: A speech sound produced without occluding, diverting, or obstructing the flow of air from the lungs. The modern letter V would not be according to the definition stated above, however the letter V back then was equal to our much modern letter U, an example would be, the arch of Titvs, today that would be, the arch of Titus. Also the letter W is also somewhat a modern letter, otherwise it's just that, A Double UU! So technically the common word known as noun, could be spelled nown, otherwise phonetically they would sound the same etc. Anyway, the vowels ALEF, AYIN, HAY, YOD, UAU of Hebrew are written down to be sounded letters. These became the Greek and Latin vowels we use in English, A E I O U. Yusef Ben MattithYahu (aka Flavius Josephus) said He saw the Name written in four Hebrew vowels (not the Aramaic script mistakenly called “modern Hebrew”). All written letters represent sounds. I submit the Masoretes (traditionalists) and their attempted alterations cannot be trusted! Due to the Masoretes, we inherited the idea it is ELI, giving the form ELIYAHU (aka Elijah). The true Hebrew name is ALIYAHU. The ALEF-LAMED is best transliterated as AL, not so much as EL.

[@lisasmith9947]

Because this is America and we are a free country!

[@ohtaren8052]

Because the Bible is explicit in that men are to be the heads of the church and the family. Seminaries teach and prepare men for such things as a life of service as a pastor, etc. They prepare men to lead and teach the Word of God.
