The Hebrew New Testament . . .

[farouk]

My K&D commentary is about the most technical on Hebrew I think I've seen. If I read Hebrew I'd be interested in reading what they did.

Much love!

I think the D in K&D refers also to Delitzsch...

I never studied Hebrews; though over 35 years ago I tried to learn the Hebrew letters.

Yes, I'm sorry!

That's about how it was for me. I had studied Greek, and wanted to move on to Hebrew, so I started with the alphabet, and never got past it.

The grammar in Hebrew is kind of absent and complex at the same time: words floating around, hints and subtleties there if you think so, not there if you don't, ....etc.

My understanding is that what has been filled in by vowel points was known by the ancient speakers, and that this leaves us with not only an dead language, Biblical Hebrew, but also with true gaps in expression, as the native speaker had knowledge we don't. True of any dead language, but, again, my understanding, particularly noticeable in ancient Hebrew.

I'm sure there are those here who know much more about this than me.

Much love!

Yes, the vowel pointing made a lot of difference; which is where the Masoretes came in...

And the 1000 year gap.

 

[farouk]

And the 1000 year gap.

Indeed...

Indeed...

And the parts missing from the Masoretic MS, yet quoted from the Septuagint in the New Testament.

It seems to me that God has preserved His Word, and we can know what He said.

Farouk, I really enjoy you're love for the Word!!

Much love!

Again, you've shown that there's essentially no reason for me to respond to what you're posting. I will simply assume that you seek to be treated the same way you treat me, and click "ignore". Now you can post to your heart's content all manner of irrelevant posts, and see exactly what it feels like to post one post after another only to be ignored.

I find this to be a rude response that commits the Appeal to Ridicule Logical Fallacy.
