Hebrew words and their definitions..

Every time you run into a Hebrew word and learn more about its meaning, how about posting it here in this thread and thus share it for others to gain the insight and blessings from knowing not only the word but the meaning behind it.. I love Hebrew, it is so visual in its meaning.

The Hebrew word for "indignation" is "zah-ham." Its literal translation means "God will froth at the mouth at his displeasure with sin."

Personally I agree with you.. I can not picture God frothing at the mouth.. not even over sin.. sorry I can not remember what Rabbi said that..

Goes back to the "angry God we must appease" theology... lol

The Hebrew alphabet has 22 letters. There are also 5 letters with a “final” form ( soffit ), which when used, appear at the end of a word. Thus, there are 27 letter forms in all. This is the ONLY verse (Zephaniah 3:8 ) in the entire Hebrew TeNaKh, which contains all 27 letter forms. The verse which follows speaks of YHWH יְהוָה restoring a PURE LANGUAGE to the peoples.

Cool thread. I'm just now looking up Hebrew translation sources. I'm doing so because of something I read online about these words:

ezer kenegdo

oikouros

chayil


I won't put definitions yet because I'm not sure of the sources, but I'm thinking this may be old news here and I'm just now hearing of them.

Feel free to add your input on these.

You are doing fine.. there are many of us who are just learning, that is why we put it out, so that we can be corrected or congratulated..

Mitnagid.. it was pronounced mitt-nah-gid. “McNugget” for the McDonald generation .. Mitnagdim were a specific group of Jews that were merely opposed to Chassidism. Vilna Gaon was one of the great rabbinic scholars and leaders of this group of Jews.

Hey, Yonah... does Halleluyah in revelation mean "Praise Yah"!

Does that mean 'Yah" is His name?

SHALOM. ... does it mean ...destroy the Authority Attached to Chaos...??

Ruth followed Naomi and CROSSED OVER (becoming a believer) from death to life, from Moab to Israel, learning the commandments of Torah and became the BRIDE of Boaz, the kinsman-Redeemer, from whom is came the promised see in Yeshua the Messiah, our Kinsman-Redeemer. Orpah rejected the Torah, TURNED BACK and stayed in Moab, the land of curses.

Which one are we like? Ruth, who was AUTHENTICALLY grafted-in, by learning the commandments of the Torah of Moses, OR, Orpah, who remained in paganism. Anything else is just a MIXTURE and is still living a life-style in the spiritual land of Moab!!

The root of the word Orpah comes from the word which means: neck, stiff-necked, stubborn or obstinate. Are we a Ruth, OBEYING the commandments of our Creator or are we an Orpah, stubborn and stiff-necked, staying in spiritual Moab, deceived, thinking we are walking with YHWH ELohim?

The name Orpah עָרְפָּה: Aiyin - Raish - Pey - Hey ,
The name Pharaoh פַּרְעֹה : Pey - Raish - Aiyin - Hey
They have the exact same 4 letters in their names but even in its disorder comes the truth. Meanings within the Hebrew names says a lot about the person.
