A Taste of Hebrew – with Dr. Walter Oakley

A Taste of Hebrew #46 – Ma’al מֵעַל
The Hebrew word for this week is “ma’al.” This week we look at the phrase “ma’al.” Then we look at the root word עַל “Al.” This word is loaded with lexical meaning covering three Strongs numbers and several TWOT headings. However, this two lettered Hebrew word is very important.

A Taste of Hebrew #42 – Tavek
This program continues our work on the sixth verse of the first chapter of Bereshit.
I work on the phrase “in the midst” (b’toch) explaining the word “tevek” which appears only a few times without a prefex. In our contemporary phrase the word appears as a phrase with a prefix.

A Taste of Hebrew #40 – The Biblical Day Part2
In this program I initiate the second part of the discussion on the Biblical day. I begin to elaborate on the phrases that have been used to describe the creative process of the Biblical Day. I look at the vocabulary of the final verse (5) as a means of knowing that the idea of evolution could never be true. I finalize the idea of the creative process by looking at the words “erev” and “boker.”

A Taste of Hebrew #38 – Echad – One
I discuss in this program the Hebrew word “Echad” which is usually translated “one.” Like the previous words with regards to the Biblical Day this word helps us further understand the Biblical cycle of the day.
However, this word is somewhat problematic when it is used as a phrase “yom echad.” We discuss these probles and give lexical definitions for our words.
