Is it worth learning hebrew to read jewish literature and especially the Bible?
>>25343942learn it to become a desert wizard
>>25343942yes, goy, worship jews
>>25343955I find the terms here odd as liquid and solid are forms while air and fire are specific things? I dont know if the graph is trying to illustrate 4 forms of an object, where air means gas and fire means plasma? or is solds refering to a hypothetical base earthly substance and liquid to a hypothetical base watery substance?
>>25343942>Latin>Greek >HebrewAre these the most important languages in history?
The Bible only survives in translation. You're not getting that much of the original by reading it in Hebrew.
>>25343997Replace fire with plasma and air with gas
>>25344084They say hebrew has different meanings from the translations
King James Version is more accurate
>>25343942The Bible wasn't written on hebrew, retard
>>25344128Oh no, here we go again
>>25344006What about the one you're writing in, dipshit? I'd say English is pretty important.
>>25343942Yes ofcourse it is. Very fucking important.I had the same dilemma, where i started learning classical Arabic to read the Quran. I suggest you read old poetry and disect the contense and analyze grammar rules and historical context. Then write some yourself. I dont know if you'll have to care much about speaking Hebrew well.
>>25343942You'd unironically be better off learning Greek and Latin (first) if you're interested in Jewish literature. But Hebrew is cool, yeah.
>>25343942why would you learn a language concocted in the 19th-20th centuries to read a book written thousands of years ago?
>>25343942>8k word LexiconApart from typological audits, even less than any moonrune homophone fuckfest language.
>>25344128>>25344188Qrd?
>>25345230Biblical Hebrew, not Modern Hebrew
>>25345050Jerome learned Hebrew
>>25345230The New Testament was written in koine greek and is several hundred years older than the hebrew Torah.
>>25343942I found out the stupid reason so many Jewish companies are named some variation of black rock is because the letters for "Onyx" in hebrew can be reordered to spell "Hashem" which is the more modern way of referring to God after Adonai became too holy to say a lot
>>25345266That's why you read the Dead Sea Scrolls
>>25343942>especially the BibleHonestly a better reason to learn Hebrew is so you can read Jewish Mysticism texts, quite a few of which haven't been translated or are hard to get hold of.
