Tony –

 

I got the same email and admit to being tempted by the Hebrew.  I had a year at a local seminary (with whose theology I strongly disagree!).  Both the seminary and associated college are very good for languages, however.  The only problem is that the pace was brutal.  To that add age – the difficulty of trying to learn a new language after 60.

 

I didn't hate Hebrew, but I didn't love it, either (though I went in wanting to love it).  2nd semester, I started having melt-downs and wanted to quit, even though I was just auditing.  My husband wouldn't let me.  Now I'm glad I stuck it out.  However, it's been nearly a year since I finished.  I could really benefit from going through it all again.

Julie, I am now 89 years old and I love Hebrew even more than I did when I started it a 'ummm'a century ago. Sometimes we think of Hebrew as like any other  Western language. It is not, of course. I've translated all the Psalms from Hebrew, and  did a commentary on each of them—the result being that I learned a great deal about the richness of the language, and a great deal more of Who the great I AM (YHWH) is. Hebrew is a flexible language and allows one to gather a sense of its richness and beauty. Grab its culture and its flexibility of meaning. Don't worry if it does not sound like English—it doesn't! Let it sound like the Hebrew that it is. Once you do that the English will sound more like it should. Remember Esau who was willing to give up his birthright for a bowl of soup. He's hungry enough to die—and a hunter he is supposed to be? He agreed to Jacob's terms. What good is "um yes the 'thing' if he dies—"birthright". Translators want to replace "birthright" where "um the thing" is, but birthright at the end of the sentence give us his true feeling for the "birthright". A lapse of what it was called. I love Hebrew—it has a fairly sizable number of 'um, O yes, that it what I mean'. Just a little word of encouragement.
