Ancient Hebrew Language
Hebrew Language by
Jeff A. Benner
The study of the Ancient Hebrew language and alphabet
begins with an understanding of the Ancient Hebrew
culture as both are intimately related. The original letters
of the Hebrew alphabet was actually pictures, or
pictographs, similar to Egyptian Hieroglyphs. Each
picture represented an object whose definition is closely
related to the agricultural lifestyle of the Ancient
Hebrews. By studying the culture and lifestyle of the
Ancient Hebrews we can better understand their language.
