2. Bet | Paleo Hebrew Alphabet | Ziggurats, Origins of the Hebrew Language, and more

The origin of the Hebrew letters, Ziggurats, and the first few words of Genesis.

***

About the Original Hebrew Series:

We believe that language was created by GOD, not man, and that His alphabet (what some call paleo Hebrew or the proto-sinaitic script) is one way to learn more about Him.

On episodes of Original Hebrew, we talk bible history, do Hebrew word studies, and share a few songs along The Way.

Thanks for stopping by, and hope you enjoy.
