The Pharisee's were rebuked for putting forth strict religious observances that are recorded in the gospels and later letters. Which had absolutely nothing to do with reading the niqqud.


(CLV) Mk 12:24
Jesus averred to them, "Are you not therefore deceived, not being acquainted with the scriptures, nor yet the power of God?

He did say this to the Sadducees; but then they leaned more toward sola scriptura.



baseless assertions



I suspect that you are still busy working on an answer regarding my question concerning H1 and H2; but when you can get to it, I would like to see your explanation of why we need 7 different Strong's numbers for this two letter word.

בר

H1247, H1248, H1249, H1250, H1251, H1252, H1253

Perhaps if you did not deny reality you would not consider my stating reality to be an accusation? Where do you suppose James Strong received his instruction to divide up single words into multiple number categories? He received his instruction by reading the M/T commentary embedded within the text by way of the vowel pointing system which did not even exist in the first century. Just because you prefer to believe the pointing system came from Mosheh doesn't make it true: you will need to be able to prove that with facts and evidence, which you surely do not have because it is pure imagination designed to support a paradigm bias. No sense in me going any further with you here because your mind appears to be set in stone regardless of historical facts, (unless of course you can point me to some first century pointed Hebrew texts).

My guess is 3 nouns singular, 3 plural, then an adjective.

So that I can better understand your position. Please explain in detail about what point in history do you say that the hebrew scriptures were corrupted?

First my dear brothers and sister in Him, there is a whole lot of the use of the word 'YOU' going on in this discussion. Try addressing the subject matter. Contending for a point or the faith is a good thing. But we should be kinder to the blood-bought heirs to the kingdom. We are still family, no?

Moving on, we see language morphing constantly. Modern slang is a good example and that occurs generation to generation and between societal strata or simple political and cultural preferences. In many cases, the spelling of words are not compromised, but their definitions or cultural inferences are!

How we doing so far? Now imagine the width, breadth and depth of influence of a catastrophic regime change or foreign invasion and governmental overthrow with the suppression of deity, language, culture, customs and societal norms.

During normal discussions within the fields of anthropology, sociology, archeology, etc., the first subjects of investigation are cultural influences. I'm pretty sure that the discipline of linguistics would fall into the same investigative paradigm, right?

Personally, I would start with the ejection from the garden or maybe to appearance of the serpent. After all, history teaches these things are usually an ongoing process.

That seems a bit too much hyperbole in response to my question. Thinking critically, that sounds similar to Calvinistic teaching, and doesn't leave room for divine inspiration. In essence nothing would be profitable at all from a historical perspective. I lean more toward The "sacred" being ultimate authority over all mankind with a minority of corruption involving rulers. Which is the ratio presented in scripture. The poor promised to Always follow the divine as a remnant outclassing the minority in all aspects. Language, history, etc.

Do you think Aleph makes an “A” sound? Because the equivalent character in Syriac Aramaic, Alep or Olep, does, even in West Syriac accents and derivative dialects like Turoyo where all other A sounds, written as vowels in those writing systems which have them rather than the Olep character (excluding Estrangelo, which only has consonants including Alep) became “o”, so for example the equivalent word to Elohim became Aloho.

Shalom Chaver,

Think we might be straying from the topic at hand? Personally, I find your work very illuminating. Perhaps more prayer might help...

Shalom Chaver,

Shalomim Brother.

Think we might be straying from the topic at hand?

We might be getting ahead of ourselves; but I don't see how to avoid that.

The first step is to collect the data. The second step is to analyze the data.

I have not yet finished collecting the data; but the analysis has begun with the data that has already been presented.

I find your work very illuminating.

I appreciate your enthusiasm. I'm enthusiastic about these revelations myself.

Perhaps more prayer might help...

Always!

In his baruk name, birekoth

We know that Hebrew is a evolving language of multiple dialects.

When I saw this, I was astonished:

אלה
H421, H422, H423, H424, H425, H426, H427, H428, H429

Do you think there would be some benefit to a more accurate replacement for Strong’s in the form of database software that would not assign multiple numbers to the same word?

Also, your earlier remark about the tent-shaped character, was that a reference to the Old Hebrew script that was replaced by the “Square Letters” originally used for writing Imperial Aramaic, presumably as a result of the Babylonian Captivity?
