Description The basic message of the Bible can be understood in any language.
If you are just beginning to study Hebrew and want the insights and motivation to continue or if you have no intention of learning biblical Hebrew but want to better understand the Bible, this book is for you.
It\'s an opportunity to be transformed by the renewing of our minds as we better understand how biblical authors used their language to express their experience of God and the world.
This book is about getting right to the important, exciting insights.
Unfortunately, those insights come only after years of study.
Those who learn biblical Hebrew can better understand not only what biblical authors wrote, but also how they thought.
Learning a language is like learning a worldview.
That\'s where this book comes in.
They immerse themselves in scripture more fully.
They make new connections.
With Hebrew in mind, interpreters see new details they didn\'t realize were missing before.
The original language allows various parts to click together like well-constructed puzzle pieces.
A few examples are the Hebrew Words rendered as remember, covenant, walk, gates, love, cleanliness, holiness, glory, wisdom, and fear.
Even more common are Hebrew Words that have much wider meanings than their English translations.
Many Hebrew Words have multiple meanings, but the English translators have to just pick one (for example, the same Hebrew word can mean both hear and obey).
Sometimes names like Adam, Eve, Cain, Abel, and Eden just seem like names to us but have meanings that are essential to the story.
Maybe there is a pun or wordplay in the original.
Quite frequently, what readers miss has been lost in translation.
Something is missing.
At the same time, many biblical texts are hard to understand because they don\'t quite make sense when translated into English.
