Product Description
The basic message of the Bible can be understood in any language. At the same time, many biblical texts are hard to understand because they don’t quite make sense when translated into English. Something is missing. Quite frequently, what readers miss has been lost in translation. Maybe there is a pun or wordplay in the original. Sometimes names like Adam, Eve, Cain, Abel, and Eden just seem like names to us but have meanings that are essential to the story. Many Hebrew words have multiple meanings, but the English translators have to just pick one (for example, the same Hebrew word can mean both hear and obey). Even more common are Hebrew words that have much wider meanings than their English translations. A few examples are the Hebrew words rendered as remember, covenant, walk, gates, love, cleanliness, holiness, glory, wisdom, and fear. The original language allows various parts to click together like well-constructed puzzle pieces. With Hebrew in mind, interpreters see new details they didn’t realize were missing before. They make new connections. They immerse themselves in scripture more fully.

That’s where this book comes in. Learning a language is like learning a worldview. Those who learn biblical Hebrew can better understand not only what biblical authors wrote, but also how they thought. Unfortunately, those insights come only after years of study. This book is about getting right to the important, exciting insights. It’s an opportunity to be transformed by the renewing of our minds as we better understand how biblical authors used their language to express their experience of God and the world.

If you are just beginning to study Hebrew and want the insights and motivation to continue or if you have no intention of learning biblical Hebrew but want to better understand the Bible, this book is for you!

How enlightening it is when a pastor breaks down a piece of Scripture and gives us the Hebrew translation of key words and phrases so we can understand the deeper message. While many of us wish we could learn biblical Hebrew, most of us do well just to find time to read the Bible. We must understand clergy study for years and years to gain those insights. As the title indicates, 70 Hebrew Words Every Christian Should Know goes right to the most consequential words in the Scripture in their original language, explaining their sometimes multiple meanings in a way that makes the text easier to grasp. By providing new details about what the biblical authors wrote and thought, and puzzling together new connections, this book makes it easier for us to immerse ourselves in Scripture more fully. It is valuable for both those who are beginning a serious study of Hebrew and those who simply want to better understand the Bible.
