The ancient language of ibrit - GimelsteemCreated with Sketch.

in #hebrew7 years ago (edited)

Like the Alfabet, The letters in Hebrew are called the Alef - Beyt They are presented on my blog from bottom to the top so you can learn them order, then to read them right to left. You will see what the original "Bible" said and what the names meant as they went through the stories of old.

Here is Gimel: Symbolizing a camel

It's the third letter. It is a consonant . It is also the number 3 when used as a number.

  • The sound this letter makes when pronounced is just like a "G"

The original way of writing this letter Looked kind of like a camel. But instead I would like to show you a new word you can learn which includes our next letter (Dalet)

There is s new vowel called a Segol - those are the three dots under the Vet and the Gimel. Represented in English they could be Bay Gay

The circled letter isn the next one in the alef-beyt - it's a Dalet and it make a 'D" sound

All togehter, the word below could be said baygaid, begeyd - either way, it means "Garment" in Hebrew

  • You now have tree letters (four if you count Dalet) and you have three vowels you can understand.

I hope to work on my penmanship and to add meaning to these little lessons each Shabbath as we go. Then we can read together with the vowel points in place and see how it all jives with English.

Thanks for taking the time to read.

You are back! Also waited for gimel like I spoiled it in the Bet and Vet post. I hope you post every Shabbath from now on as you said :)

wow ... one upvote from @done that is so amazing.

I don't know @done but he does gravitate toward this kind if content. Taking a look at who he follows- I guess you he likes pure Bible only - if I had to name it. I hope he keeps visiting this old relic

how do i repay your kindness @hebrew and i will expand your post by way of make your name and link in my post, again thank you very much to @hebrew, @done, @bcc, and all that is here, hopefully health and safety always accompanies you all ... thanks
