You might be asking questions about the Hebrew we share.
“Why all the pictures?”
“What’s up with the weird pronunciations?”
We have found the ancient pictograph to be the oldest form of Hebrew. Paleo trailing close behind. We have chosen to look at the most pure & oldest form. By studying these pictographs, we can gain a clearer picture of what Scripture is trying to tell us.
Mashah (Moses) and Dud (David) wrote using letters that are different than the Modern Rabbinical Hebrew today. During Babylonian exile, the Jews started to use the squared off form that was prevalent throughout the Babylonian Empire. Around 1000 BC the Hebrew pictograph evolved into a simpler form that usually called Paleo-Hebrew.
In Modern Rabbinical Judaism, they have added vowel points and made consonant sounds change by adding marks. We are going back to the simplistic form of ancient Hebrew and learning. They’ve also added a few final letters which end a word.
As an example:
Bayat in Abaryam says “ba” and is B
In Modern – it can be “ba” or va” B or V
UU in Abaryam says “oo” like hoot” and is U
In Modern – it can be W, V, U, O
Pah in Abaryam says “pa” but in Modern it often says F
So why try to even understand it, right?
Well we would disagree. We know that Scripture has been preserved and The Father wakes His children up to His Ways & Truth when they humbly seek Him. So why can’t we gain knowledge in His language as well, through His Word and with the Helper – The Ruch ah’Qadush (Holy Spirit).
Also we realize that we are putting English letters onto Hebrew pictographs. They’re not going to be perfect and prayerfully we will be continually growing and gaining more depth as we go. So we may update studies as this happens. We recognize that we are just learning and sharing as we go.
As you can see the Pictograph and Paleo are very similar. The Paleo is a more simplified version.

The modern is good to learn the basic letter so when you’re using the concordance you can translate it back into the picture.

I’m amazed, I have to admit. Seldom do I encounter a blog that’s equally educative and engaging, and without a doubt, you have hit the nail
on the head. The problem is something which not enough men and women are speaking intelligently about.
I am very happy that I came across this in my hunt for something relating to this.
