This is for those who are interested in learning about the Hebrew letters:
The Hebrew Alphabet:
"Judaism has always regarded Hebrew as a sacred language, the medium of divine communication. For millennia, the sages and mystics have taught that the letters are no ordinary expression. The very word for "letter" in Hebrew--Ot--means sign or wonder; that is, a heavenly revelation. The more we learn about the letters through both study and meditation, the greater becomes our inner development". Edward Hoffman
The 22 Letters, And No Vowels
The Hebrew language is comprised of 22 letters, five of which are known as double (or mother letters, as they have two distinct forms: when beginning a word and when placed at its ending). These letters are Kaf, Mem, Nun, Pei, and Tzadi. They were originally known only to the righteous such as Abraham, and later, to Moses, Joshua, and the Seventy Elders of Israel under their leadership. They brought the knowledge of these special Hebrew letters to the Holy Land, where through the Prophets, the entire Jewish people came to use them.
The Hebrew language originally contained no vowels, though the Ayin or Aleph were sometimes utilized for that purpose. Vowel signs were developed during the second half of the first one-thousand years.
Dating back to Talmudic times, the Hebrew letters have not only been celebrated as holy, but also venerated as an actual tool for spiritual mastery. Traditionally, the two most preferred techniques have been gematriyah and notarikon. In gematriyah, words with dissimilar meanings but equal numerical values (since each Hebrew letter also has a number associated with it) are probed for their hidden linkages.
In notarikon, words are broken down into sentences composed of initial letters. Thus, the first word of the Ten Commandments, ANoKhY ("I Am") alludes to the sentence Ario Nafshoy Katovit Yahovit ("I have written and given myself to you in this book").
Hi friend Deborah Sexton
Do you mean that Abraham was the founder of the Hebrew language? Hebrew started with Abraham?

Do you think Adam was a righteous person?

Hebrew can be seen by examining the names of the individuals appearing in the early chapters of Genesis. All are Hebrew! Adam means "red" or "ruddy." Eve (Heb. Chavah) means "life," or "lifespring." Just look at the names of other Old Testament personalities and you will see that they all have Hebrew meanings.

However after the flood many things may have been lost. So Abraham may have been the first after that.
I really have no idea except that the Hebrew language was the language spoken to create...let there be light etc.

We are discussing things when Darwin was not yet evolved and come to the scene.
We will discuss it later.

Don't get into this with him..Not here please.
Aww - So sweet. The religionista are both attacking the atheist. LOL
Proto humans - no Darwin, no YWHYHYYYY ALLAH GOD no Muslimists.
200,000 years before the god nonsense.
Ciao. No need to understand or educate Usmanali Or Sexton.
Sorry - I mistook this for a none religion thread. I thought ot was about language - my mistake.
Now it seems I should leave you to fight over which language GOD sed to ADAM when he was naming the Kangaroo.
What did God tell Adam to call the Kangaroo?
I gave that to indicate that old manuscripts from ages ago were written in Hebrew..so the beginning of time.
That is not when time began.
LOLOL - You guys are funny. Blanket statements, I gave you evidence of earlier languages and you pull laughable "facts" from nowhere.
Like I said - I had not noticed this was in the irrational belief section. Sorry.
Hi Mark Knowels
Rest assured; we are only discussing; we won't fight; we understand.
I think it is heavy a burden for your backbone; the Skeptics are perhaps flesh without a backbone. Are they?
You remain here; you are an interesting person.

Hi friend Deborah Sexton
Any idea where Adame lived; I mean in what courtry in the present era?
Thanks
I am an Ahmadi peaceful Muslim
Actually, it is my belief that Adam was a word used to represent mankind..not one man.
Male and female were called Adam..
I have no idea and neither does anyone else, where they lived.
Hi friend Deborah Sexton
You mentioned that in hebrew even names depict something; and Adam means "red" as you stated. Does it signify the land he lived; in your opinion? If it does not signify; then why he was named "red".
Anybody with any guess; it is a discussion between all of us, of course.
Thanks
I am an Ahmadi peaceful Muslim
I guess because they came from Red Dirt. I have no idea where.
Where do you say they came from.
Hi friend Deborah Sexton
I think in Hebrew it is not red; I don't know Hebrew; though I understand some Arabic, because of Quran.
Please see the following :
Adam: From the Hebrew, meaning “earth.” Also ascribed to Phoenician and Babylonian origins, meaning” man, mankind.” In the Bible (Genesis 2:7), the name of the first man.
http://www.circumcision.net/Heb_Names_A.htm
If you please check its correctness or otherwise.
Thanks
I am an Ahmadi peaceful Muslim
In Hebrew it is Red Earth or Red Ground..and I know that for sure.
This is my last post here. I am very tired. I didn't think you would fight about it.
However since one has already come to fight, soon all the others who want to fight will be here..I won't
I'm not angry..just tired.
Hi friend Deborah Sexton
It is OK with me; please have a peaceful rest and then we will discuss.

Hi friend Deborah Sexton
Who fixed numerical value of the letters? Was it YHWH or Abraham?
Thanks

Thanks for sharing this, Deborah...some of this I knew, and some I didn't. One thing I have trouble with is the pronunciation of the Hebrew letters, which of course leads to trouble pronouncing words. Can you recommend a good source for learning about this?
I will email you.
Also in the future I will create a hub to give correct pronunciation.
Thank you for your interest.
Your profile gives no way to contact you.
that's weird! I thought it was set up to email me...I'll see if I can fix it.
ETA: Okay, it should be fixed now. Sorry about that!
I still can't find any way to contact you.
I clicked on the little box in "edit my profile" that allows people to contact me. I don't know what's going on. I will look again, or else email you so you can respond. Sorry for all the confusion, Deborah.
OK, I started this thread for those interested in becoming familiar with the Hebrew language.
It was not meant to be a fight between evolution and creationism. I believe in both.
Yet now it is fading like all other threads.
I thought the forums would offer the info to more people instead of a hub.
I am so weary of fighting with rude people so I am gone from here.
Hi friend
I won't fight; I was happy that a very intelligent friend knowing Hebrew has started this thread. I wanted to know some Hebrew starting from the word "Adam".
Please don't be angry.
Thanks
I am an Ahmadi peaceful Muslim
Okay, I think I understand...I didn't do it right the first time. It should be fixed now, and you can email me through HP at will.
Thanks.
OK, I was able to email it to you.
If you have any question just ask.
Sorry about that.
I sent you another email.
Thanks, Deborah...I'll go get them now. I appreciate your taking the time to do that. Sorry about the mix up. I'm glad you alerted me.
Many religions state that because Moses was raised by Egyptians, that Moses spoke the language of hieroglyphics .which are pictures and symbols.
Scholar Dr. Ashraf points out that
The Hebrews lived in Egypt for about 400 years.
"Moses lived in the 13th century BC, whereas the first written recording of the Old Testament was by Ezra in the middle of the 5th century BC. That means that the Jewish Torah was passed by oral tradition for 8 centuries."
The Egyptians were unwilling to share their language and its hieroglyphics, which was associated with their religion and their gods, with the Hebrew immigrants. The result was that the Hebrews preserved their own Canaanic language for their entire time in Egypt. It was the written language used by Moses and other literate Hebrews. There is absolutely no scientific, historical, or archeological evidence that, as claimed by some, "the Torah was revealed to Moses in hieroglyphics".
Isn't it also such that there is no scientific, historical or archaeological evidence that Moses even existed?
Many ancient manuscripts have record of Moses.
Moses did exist, bu for me Prophet Moses is none other than A'aferti Ankh-Aten or Ankh-Aton because his god, religion, life, believes and events do have a strong correlation with the bilical Moses and most of the Hebrew Patriarchs have strong correlation with the A'afertis "Pharaohs" and gods of Egypt.
Look at what Judeo-Christianity teaches, you can find it in the ancient religions of Egypt!
Deborah Sexton,
Would you please provide the full name of the "Scholar Dr. Ashraf" you've mentioned? A couple of works or articles by the scholar that I might look for? I'm interested in finding out more about this history. Is this a historian? Theologian?
I was aware of the long-term oral tradition regarding the Jewish Torah, but have felt the need to brush up on this information and I'm not certain which books provided me with this information in the recent past. I must take better notes from now on.
I thought we agreed that everything was invented by the Greeks and that Moses came from Athens??
That's what I thought, too, except wasn't Moses from Ios, now the party capital of the world?
That was Sodom (no.. on second thought, I think he was from Mykonos)
Hi friends
Moses existed; Quran has testified it and his life account which is very inspiring is there in the Quran. Who could be a more authentic than the Creator- God Allah YHWH?
Thanks

Just a short info first hand about "Adam". Yes, it means "red" and more than this. Several Hebrew words have the same root:
Adom- red,
Dam- blood,
Adama- earth.
Adam was made from red dirt (earth). This made a complete sense to me after I lived in Israel. The earth in Israel is really red dirt. If you step into wet red dirt, oh, good luck cleaning it of.... it is very sticky.
The word "people" in Hebrew is "bnei adam", literally "sons of Adam", and in singular (a person, a man) is "ben adam"- son of Adam.
Deborah, thank you for educating people. And please, don't pay attention to miserable and angry.
Hi friend ReuVera
But for that you shall have to first prove that Adam was born from the clay of Jerusalem.
I think that Polish people are red colored.
Siri Lankans say that Adam was born there.
Thanks

Sorry I missed your post. You are right. Of course you are you speak Hebrew .
There are those who want it all to have happened in their country under their spiritual codes..but it happened in Israel and Adam does mean exactly as you have stated.
Thank you for your words of encouragement.
I love this hub, how informative, and I look forward to reading more!
