Hebrew perspective, Hebrew thought, ancient Hebrew word meanings. The Tanakh, or Old Testament as most know it, was written in Paleo-Hebrew by Hebrews for Hebrews. They lived, spoke and thought Hebrew.

Hebrew means to “cross over” or “pass through” and I am Hebrew now because I have “crossed over” from man-made traditions into Scriptural truth.

Abram “the Hebrew” (later became Abraham), Isaac (Yitshaq in Hebrew), and Jacob (Ya’aqob in Hebrew, later became Yisra’el; Israel in English), all Hebrew. In order to understand His ancient paths, we must understand Hebrew perspective. Over the last 2,000 years, translators have virtually removed His Name, His Sabbaths, His Torah and all things Hebrew.

Our Savior, having been asked a trick question by the Sadducees, answered them saying “you go astray, not knowing (understanding) the Scriptures nor the power of Elohim.” Our understanding of Scripture is enhanced when we learn more about the original language of Hebrew, but all is in the process of being restored and renewed.

The two houses are coming together (see Hebrews 8:8-13). “I shall conclude (bring to an end) with the house of Yisra’el (aka Israel) and with the house of Yahudah (aka Judah) a renewed (make anew) covenant.”
