Tradition?
Which tradition? Traditions are fleeting in the annals of mankind.
The Niqqud alter the original text. A culture is defined by its' language. As the language changes (Hebrew has), so does the culture.
Those who added the niqqud were then of a Hellenized culture, speaking in abstract thought.
By adding the niqqud, they defined the words according to their abstract understanding of a concrete message, written to a different culture.
In order to best understand the message as it was delivered, it would be expedient to come at the message immersed in concrete thought, in context to the culture to whom it was spoken.
Now let's talk about tradition a little more.
Originally there were no spaces between the ote. The scripture was written in a continuous string of otiot. Each ote has a meaning; and if we can bring ourselves to think like an Ancient Hebrew; we can begin to understand how the meanings of the otiot build on each other as they are joined.
Lets look at H1, AB. Modern Hebrews asserts that the Aleph is silent; and that it is the niqqud that give it a vowel sound. However Modern Hebrew still calls Aleph, Aleph, by the "A" sound.
In Ancient Hebrew the Aleph depicted an ox head. One way to interpret the Aleph is as a symbol of headship.
The Ancient Greeks took the Hebrew Aleph Beyt and turned the ote upside down and backwards. Then they wrote their sentences backwards. This is done in witchcraft too.
The Modern English Alphabet is derived from the Ancient Hebrew Aleph Beyt through the Ancient Greeks.
To this very day the English letter "A" still depicts an upside down ox head; and it still makes the "A" sound. No, "A" is not silent in Modern Hebrew tradition.
Now let's move on to Beyt. Modern Hebrew adds niqqud to change "B" to a "V." There is no "V" in ancient Hebrew. It depicts a tent.
when we put "AB" together they mean headship of the tent or house, the father.
I would like to see your explanation of why Strong's H1, H2, H3, H4, are assigned to AB.
I would highly dispute that H4 means AB.
However, here we go:
Strong's Hebrew: 4.
The Nun that is between the Aleph and the Beyt makes it a completely different word. The Nun depicts a seed. It is the offspring of the headship of the house.
Well at least the KJV seems to have come close to correctly interpreting the word this time.
The tree is the strength of the fruit. The fruit houses the seed. the seed is the offspring of the tree.
This does not explain why both H1, and H2 are assigned to AB.
