Recent find in Palestine

A recent archaeological find in Jerusalem has revealed the top of a jar that has Hebrew writing on it. This jar fragment came from the area of the Temple Mount and is dated from the time of David and Solomon around 1000 B.C.

Although some may think that finding this jar fragment is not a great deal, the most important part of this find is in the fact that it is written in ancient Hebrew and not the phoney modern Block Hebrew that is really only Yiddish. Yiddish is the language that is currently spoken in Palestine.

All the letters on this fragment are consonants m,q,p,h,n, and l with no vowels. This is because ancient Hebrews did not have vowels in their written language. So this fragment can never be read without knowing the correct context it was written in. For example, one word I happen to know of off the top of my head in Hebrew for the word covenant is “Berith.” With the vowels being absent, the word covenant as in covenant people would be represented with the consonants of B-R-T. Any colonies that the Hebrews found used these letters often. For example BRiTain (Briton or Brittania) founded by BruTus the survivor of Troy in 1103 B.C., which had the Hebrew B-R-T in his name. Even coins from Carthage in Northern Africa have the letters B-R-T stamped on them. These three letters were used in all the colonies that were found by Phoenician Hebrews.

Anyway continuing on...

The differences between ancient Hebrew and Yiddish are many, just to name a few:

Hebrew was the language of the ancient Israelites, Yiddish is the language of the Khazar's (which are not Hebrews). Khazar's adopted the religion of Talmudic Judaism in the 8^th century A.D and are not originally from Palestine.

Hebrew is read left to right, Yiddish is read right to left.

Hebrew is more picturesque than Yiddish similar to the hieroglyphics of Egypt, Yiddish characters are shaped like blocks, this is where the word Block Hebrew comes from.

None of the above examples are even remotely close to block Hebrew.

Hebrew is the language that English came from, Yiddish is the language that came from ancient German.

One fact I should mention is to find the place of the original origin for a language in relationship with Palestine one easy way to know is to draw an invisible line through Palestine from North to South. Then any language that reads left to right came from the West of Palestine, any language that reads right to left originated from the East of Palestine.

Praise the Lord for the ongoing archaeological witness to his word!
