Spirit not Mechanics

'Learning' Hebrew is not like learning any other language and it's NOT memorization. It's truly immersing your spirit in this heavenly language - awakening the Holy language within your spirit. So it is spirit not mechanics.

Gen 1:1-3 "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. Then God said, 'Let there be Light' and there was Light."

Hebrew is the language Adonai spoke when He created the heavens and the earth…powerfully displaying the creative power of the Word. Hebrew is the language He spoke to Adam – who partnered in naming animals, spoke to Eve (Chavah, referred to as mother of all living, lifegiver), Noah and others in those generations… unlike any other ‘religion’ the Torah alone shows that every Jewish man, woman, and child alive in 1312 B.C.E. — about three million people, according to the Torah — heard God speak at Mount Sinai and survived to teach their descendants about the event. As Yeshua is the Word (Torah) made flesh...we are becoming the same and so immersing in Torah, in Hebrew, is the L-rd transforming our physical flesh into Torah flesh.

Immersing in Hebrew: deep calls unto deep, Psalm 42

Psalm 42: 8-9
"Deep calls unto deep at the noise of Your waterfalls; All Your waves and billows have gone over me. The LORD will command His lovingkindness in the daytime, And in the night His song shall be with me—A prayer to the God of my life."

The word translated here as 'waterfalls' is actually צִנּוֹרֶיךָ tzinoreeka which means 'cataracts' : a descent of water over a steep surface; a waterfall, esp.one of considerable size; any furious rush or downpour of water; deluge.

The LORD will command His lovingkindness in the daytime, And in the night His song shall be with me— A prayer to the God of my life.

Immersing in Hebrew...Parshah Yitro: Shabbat

Even if you 'know' only a few words in the passage below...with the English/Hebrew and transliteration, you will probably be able to figure out word meanings and that is one of the best ways to awaken Hebrew in your spirit...just dive in.

Exodus 20:8-11 from Parashah Yitro (Torah Portion Jethro)

⁸ “ Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. ⁹ Six days you shall labor and do all your work, ¹⁰ but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. ¹¹ For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.

8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
זָכוֹר אֶת-יוֹם הַשַּׁבָּת, לְקַדְּשׁוֹ.

10. but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates.

וְיוֹם, הַשְּׁבִיעִי--שַׁבָּת, לַיהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ: לֹא-תַעֲשֶׂה כָל-מְלָאכָה אַתָּה וּבִנְךָ וּבִתֶּךָ, עַבְדְּךָ וַאֲמָתְךָ וּבְהֶמְתֶּךָ, וְגֵרְךָ, אֲשֶׁר בִּשְׁעָרֶיךָ.

11. For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.

immersing in Hebrew: Yitro - 2 verses

This week's Torah portion: Yitro

Here are the first two verses - If you are learning Hebrew, a beautiful way to learn is sound out the Hebrew words, compare to the transliteration and then often figuring out the meaning is easy. Meaning or not...the language itself will course through your soul.

Exodus 18: 1
And Yitro, the priest of Midyan, Moshe's father-in-law, heard of all that G-d had done for Moshe and for Yisrael His people--that HASHEM had brought Yisrael out of Egypt.

א וַיִּשְׁמַע יִתְרוֹ כֹהֵן מִדְיָן, חֹתֵן מֹשֶׁה, אֵת כָּל-אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה אֱלֹהִים לְמֹשֶׁה, וּלְיִשְׂרָאֵל עַמּוֹ: כִּי-הוֹצִיא יְהוָה אֶת-יִשְׂרָאֵל, מִמִּצְרָיִם.

Vayishma Yitro chohen Midyan choten Moshe et kol-asher asah Elokim le-Moshe ule-Yisrael amo ki-hotzi HASHEM et-Yisrael miMitzrayim.

2. Moshe's father-in-law, Yitro took Moshe's wife, Tziporah, after he had sent her back [home],

ב וַיִּקַּח, יִתְרוֹ חֹתֵן מֹשֶׁה, אֶת-צִפֹּרָה, אֵשֶׁת מֹשֶׁה--אַחַר, שִׁלּוּחֶיהָ.

Vayikach Yitro choten Moshe et-Tziporah eshet Moshe achar shilucheiha.
