![]() Our interpretation of a word like "holy" is an abstract idea, derived out of a Greco-Roman culture and mindset, which is usually understood as someone or something that is especially godly, pious or spiritual. The Hebrew language of the Bible must be understood from its original and Ancient Hebrew perspective. Whether you know Hebrew or not, this book will provide you with a quick reference resource for learning the meaning of many Hebrew words that lie beneath the English translations, which will open new doors for you into Biblical interpretation. "The Living Words" is an in-depth study into the Ancient Hebrew vocabulary and culture of the Bible replacing the flavor and substance that has been removed from us.ĭownload Ancient Hebrew Dictionary Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle What is a rock and how does it apply to God? To us it may mean solid, heavy or hard but the cultural meaning of the word tsur is a high place in the rocks where one runs to for refuge and defense, a place of salvation. A Biblical example of this can be found in the Hebrew word tsur which is translated as a rock - "He only is my rock and my salvation, he is my defence I shall not be greatly moved" (Psalm 62:2, KJV). When the text is read by a culture different from the one it is written in, it loses its cultural context. The problem is compounded by the fact that a language is tied to the culture that uses that language. Reading a translation of any book is just not the same as reading it in its original language and is adequately stated in the phrase "lost in the translation."

Do you think maybe it was to make us say, “Wow, God is unfathomably big”? Or perhaps God wanted us to see these pictures so that our response would be, “Who do I think I am?”Ĭhan also reminds us of God’s detailed intricacy and diversity in His smaller creations: Marriage is also used to describe Christ and the church (Eph. This illustrates God’s intention of marriage between man and woman-beyond becoming best friends-to become one in unity and purpose. (When Adam saw her, he whistled and said “Whoa! Man!”) □ Instead of making her from the dust of the ground like Adam, He chose to sculpt her from Adam’s flesh and blood. Day Seven – God rested and declared all He had made to be very good.Day Six – Animals (to fill the earth), man and woman (to care for the earth and to commune with God).Day Five – Fish and birds (to fill the waters and the sky.Day Four – Sun, moon, and stars (to govern the day and the night and to mark seasons, days, and years).Day Three – Land and seas (waters gathered) vegetation.Day Two – Sky and water (waters separated). ![]() Day One – Light (so there was light and darkness).“For in six days God the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day.” – Exodus 20:11 We also structure our week from God’s six 24-hour day creation week and seventh day of rest.The word “night” with “day” occurs 52 times, and always means an ordinary day.The word “evening” with “day”, or “morning” with “day”, occurs 23 times, and always means ordinary day.The phrase “evening and morning” occurs 38 times, and always means an ordinary day.The Hebrew word for day with a number occurs 410 times, and always means an ordinary day.Consider the following (Ken Ham, The Foundations): Although yom can have different meanings, similar to our English word “day”, the context in the Old Testament outside of Genesis 1 points to the literal 24-hour interpretation. Yom-the Hebrew word for “day” in Genesis 1-is used both in the singular and plural form 2,301 times in the Old Testament.
