Language of the Old Testament: Biblical Hebrew “The Holy Tongueâ€

Luke Emeka Ugwueye

Academic Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies, 2015, vol. 4

Abstract: Some kind of familiarity with the structure and thought pattern of biblical Hebrew language enhances translation and improved ways of working with the language needed by students of Old Testament. That what the authors of the Scripture say also has meaning for us today is not in doubt but they did not express themselves primarily for us or in our language, and so it requires training on our part to understand them in their own language. The features of biblical Hebrew as combined in the language’s use of imagery and picturesque description of things are of huge assistance in this training exercise for a better operational knowledge of the language and meaning of Hebrew Scripture.
