Guys. Guys. In 1 Sam 25:22, there’s a term that gets translated as “male,” But the Hebrew literally says משתּין בּקיר, (mashtin b’kir) which literally means “one who urinates on the wall.” #Hebrew #Torah #Jewish #Bible

These kinds of transcriptions, made by Karaites, are an invaluable source for how Tiberian #Hebrew was pronounced, especially when it comes to vowel length. Biblical Hebrew spelling doesn't mark vowel length; not consistently. So, many scholars simply think it didn't exist anymore in Tiberian. BUT…

One of the #Hebrew inscriptions from the OG ספרד, the capital of Lydia, from the Middle Roman Empire. 'I, Shemarya son of Eliyahu wrote [this].'

Black and white photograph from a book with the heading 'The Hebrew Inscriptions fron Sardis'. The inscription reads אני שמריה בן ﭏיהו כתבתי.

🪬🧿 Rosslyn Chapel hides many secrets! And i wrote a novel about it :) order here: www.epochofaodhan.com #rosslynchapel #scotland #book #epochofaodhan #secrets #stones #sun #moon #hebrew #travel #alttext

Rosslyn Chapel in Scotland provides the backdrop for a copy of the book, "Epoch of Aodhan, The One". The book is propped up on a metal sign, part of which reads, "Secrets of the Stones". The cover of the book has an illustration of the sun, moon, stars, mountains, and a person sitting under a tree. A hebrew letter appears in the center of the illustration.
