| Q8: Scripture Secrets : Child like Hebrew Modern scripture translations wrote like this:- Hard to read? Imagine English words without spaces.. Hard to read in English without spaces? What about needing correct letter order in words? We can read these words in English? People are taught by precepts and traditions of men, that letters do not matter inside words. We found out earlier that in Ancient Hebrew, letters really do matter, and words don't that much. Now this child like reading in Hebrew is based on assumptions: Picture letters really do have meaning. Picture letters have a single basic meaning. These picture letters correspond to these pictures: So at a basic level, the "word" "al" means "strong authority". Does all the Scripture contexts bear this out? Yes. When we assume Ancient Hebrew had words, scholars have assumed different meanings upon those words depending upon context. Thus we have created something that wasn't there, a translation process based on human scholarship. For example, Strong's word 410, spelled "el" or "al" means according to Strong, the following meanings:- Now notice what KJV does with this Hebrew word in some verses, and what Ancient Hebrew meanings do as well:- Ps 80:10 The hills were covered .. (with).. the goodly "'el" cedars ('erez).. (KJV) The hills were covered (with) the strong authority of cedars Ps 36:6 Thy righteousness is like the great "'el" mountains (harar).. (KJV) Thy righteousness is like the strong authority of mountains Isa 57:5 Enflaming yourselves with idols "'el".. (KJV) Enflaming yourselves with (other) strong authorities ( or idols) Eze 32:21 The strong "'el" among the mighty (gibbowr).. (KJV) The strong authority among the mighty humans.. See it is possible to make Scripture words consistent in meaning. God is a "strong authority". But so is an idol, and a cedar tree and even a mountain, are symbols of strong authorities. Can we use this child like technique for any or all Hebrew words? I don't know. Probably not, since even Hebrew as a language experienced mixing from different influences. But by and large this technique is a useful tool to help unravel the meaning of words. Let's try another example of two picture letters side by side:- Ge 2:24 Therefore shall a man leave his father (ab) ..(KJV) Song 6:11 I went down into the garden of nuts to see the fruits (ab) of the valley (KJV) Here are some examples of "ab" used in the OT. In Adam's time, he was the only man on earth, so whom is "ab" he is referring to? If you spend some time looking at these contexts, you will see the "strong homing" means a "provider". Now this example of meaning we can't get from the picture sounds alone, it's a meaning from the overall meaning of both picture letter sounds, so we have the possibility of forming a simple but profound word in Ancient Hebrew. So let's translate these verses correctly: Ge 2:24 Therefore shall a man leave our Provider ..(Ancient Hebrew) Song 6:11 I went down into the garden of nuts to see the providers of the valley (Ancient Hebrew) Jeff Benner is good influence, but the Author does not agree with him that "ab" has two common polysemous meanings, "father or fruit". What we are doing here is not seeing the Hebrew meaning of the picture letters correctly. The best meaning for "ab" is "strong homing" or "provider". This removes the polysemy of the word "ab". The Author feels all polysemy within Ancient Hebrew can be removed in this way, if we knew more about why the Ancient Hebrew mindset chose the meanings originally. It is also possible that meanings became mixed from mixing of ideas, inventions and other people groups. Even slang and idioms can cause mixing of language. Modern scholars say English is mostly polysemous. This indicates the amount of mixing some languages experience, and does not mean mixing is normal for language. Dysfunction of language over time, through wicked men and improper use of language causes language to decay and lose it's clarity and simplicity of speech. Consider this complex meaning based on picture letters and words using Ancient Hebrew concepts: Now we introduce actions incomplete as "verb forms", and actions complete as "noun forms", with "some words". This is not something picture letters on their own suggest, but you could get the idea from the context of the picture letters in a sentence of letters.. For example:- He went to love her with his love. The meaning of love is the same, but the two forms used show different actions of loving. Strong's Hebrew word number 605, is a verb meaning according to the picture letters: "The strong over the nations pressed". Let's see what this "strong over the nations pressed" or "anash" might be:- Job 34:6 Should I lie against my right? my wound is incurable without transgression. (KJV) "arrows wound without transgression " (Ancient Hebrew). The KJV is way off here, using "incurable" as possible meaning. Isa 17:11 .. the harvest shall be a heap in the day of grief and of desperate sorrow.(KJV) ..grief and of wounded sorrow. Notice consistent translation for "anash". Jer 15:18 Why is my pain perpetual, and my wound incurable, .. (KJV) Why is my pain perpetual, and my crushing wounded, referring to the crushing wounds.. 2Sa 12:15 And the LORD struck the child that Uriah's wife bare unto David, and it was very sick. ..the baby was wounded.. Now notice the Hebrew word numbered by Strong as 606, the noun form of "wounded".. Da 2:43 And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men (anash) "man-wounded": but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay. The noun form has a "man-wounded" or the "wounds afflict the man, but he is healed and lived" hence a completed "man-wounded". Da 7:13 I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man (anash) "man-wounded" came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him. What is interesting is this word meaning was created by GOD or a reason. The Son of the Man-Wounded comes near the Ancient of Days... who is this Man-Wounded? It proves Jesus pre-existed. In fact, the whole story of creation of Adam and the woman from his rib, requires the man becoming wounded. Ge 2:22 And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman (ishshah), and brought her unto the man. 23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called woman (ishshah), because she was taken out of Man (iysh) . Hebrew word 802 and 376 are related, but not with same spellings. The active woman-wounded means "The strong over the nations actively pressed. Behold the Woman!". The active man-wounded means "The strong over the nations actively pressed." Ex 21:22 If men strive, and hurt a "woman" (active woman-wounded) with child, so that her fruit depart from her, and yet no mischief follow: he shall be surely punished, according as the woman's (active woman-wounded) husband (baal) "master", will lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine. 23 And if any mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for life, From the parent word "wounded" even an active woman-wounded, is written here being "wounded", about her child engineered in her womb. The Hebrew defines a married woman to a "master" using the Hebrew word "baal". The active man-wounded or (iysh), is wounded to build a "woman-wounded" when God opens the flesh to build a "woman-wounded" from one of Adam's ribs. Now while this is a complex translation process, it involves looking at related Ancient Hebrew words, and translating them accordingly with similar, but slightly different meanings. The Author hopes this gives, the reader an example of this process. For futher reading of the translation process using pictographs as a tool, please read ab out the Hebrew word "BaR". The study is found looking at David's recorded 17th prayer. Ps 2:12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, (KJV) We have assumed the translation is correct.. Ps 2:12 Kiss the GRAIN, lest JESUS be angry, and ye perish from the way, (Ancient Hebrew) For more see:- (1) The study of "bar" or grain Next we look at a child like technique for understanding any Hebrew or Greek word |

What is a child like method for reading in Hebrew, using pictographs?
For example here are two picture letters side by side.
The first picture letter means "strong" and the second picture letter means "authority". The shepherds stick was often used to corral sheep around the neck, and thus the shepherds staff was an "authority" for his sheep.
Here are two p icture letters. The first one is a picture of a bull. Some scholars, even Jeff Benner says the picture letters might have had more than one basic meaning. If that is the case than we have polysemy even at a picture letter level. The Author disagrees. At the lowest level, the picture letters would have had a single basic meaning. This means each letter represented a single basic meaning or "lip sound". The second picture letter is a picture of the tent floor plan according to Jeff Benner and means "home". Therefore the basic meaning of this "word" is "the strong home". But this meaning is a "noun like meaning" not an action. All Hebrew picture letters are based on actions, or "verb like meanings". Therefore the basic meaning of this "word" or "ab" is "the strong homing". What does "homing" suggest? 
The corrected meaning "GRAIN" is very significant indeed, and shows when we support Jesus as the SEED or WORD in our heart, we receive HIS power growing in us.
