Michael Brown - The Real Truth About the Paleo Hebrew Script
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 бер 2018
- Hebrew scholar and Semitist, Dr. Michael Brown exposes the delusional claim that the meaning of Hebrew letters is to be found in their original pictographic (picture) representations. A myth thoroughly debunked by Semitology, here by Dr. Brown-and for good reason. Here’s why, it’s misleading and harmful to derive meanings from original letter shapes, by that standard you could literally compel any word you could imagine to say anything you want. It’s called divination-to take a sacred text and divine a hidden meaning from it. It’s a new form of Bible code and it’s just as flawed-good riddance to deluded claims.

Basic principles of exegesis is to study the original intended meaning of the original author. If the letters evolve it does not negate the original meaning. The original meaning does not evolve to the present time.
Anytime you hear someone say that somethings is 100 percent wrong and 100 percent without merit you know they are defending something else. Their own Theology....
The idea that you get more from the modern language then from the ancient....that is funny....study the scripture, study it’s origins (including the pictograms), and listen to the Holy Spirit who “will guide you into all truth”.
Absolutely! Couldn't agree more
No one said you get more from the modern language than from the ancient... he’s simply stating that these ancient Hebrew pictographs were never used then in the same misleading way many are using them today... like Jeff Benner and like minded individuals.
Studying the origin of Scripture and original language is one thing.... finding hidden esoteric meanings by combining pictographs together is pure fantasy...
@@Mr_A1-37 the hebrew alphabet is not all pictographic, vav is curtain hook, tet is a vessel, lamed is a shepherds goad, shin is suppose to be teeth I’m talking about ktav ashuri Hebrew script not the fake Hebrew alphabet called paleo Hebrew which is actually Phoenician
Then how do you explain the first verse in the bible showing a son taking up flesh and enduring the wrath of GOD at at a cross?
My point exactly :) What you mention is just one of many many examples. They're probably just going to write it all down to coincidence....
The suppress the truth in unrighteousness.
It's shocking how a Dr in ancient near eastern languages would have such shallow,secular and misleading arguments.Jeff Benner is certainly not infallible,but he has helped preserve the ancient Hebrew pictographic script from extinction from secular 'Dr's like you.I pray that God opens your eyes someday to see His revealed truth.The modern Hebrew script is fast becoming devoid of its original revelation that lies in the pictographic alphabet,but it still is a window into the ancient Biblical truths preserved in the pictographic script.With all due respect sir,I implore YOU,rather than well-meaning author like Jeff to repent.
You’re delusional lol.
Thank you Dr. Brown for this teaching. I have "bought into" the pictographic understanding to a small degree, as have others I know. This brings so much clarity, where there was confusion before. I had a few discussion where we would sit around and try to understand the meaning of a verse or even a word, and we would mostly leave with no clear understanding. Thank you so much!
The phenomenon he describes has also ocurred with the Egyptian and Mayan glyphs. He is basically describing the typical evolution of writing from pictographic to alphabetic characters. I woild tend to agree with his assessment.
I'm watching this because my Bible College textbook is ripping on numerology.
Completely wrong here , even from the first two letters, aleph bet Av Father within the pictographs is the symbol for strong leader the buck and the house, the leader of the house ..
With mother it’s am strong and mem water glue which refers to the role of the mother, it seems like you learned this from a perspective of criticality observing the truly incorrect ways people applied it
and as a result you have assumed there was no authentic,
though it would disagree with most critical minded scholars who are trained to see the past through a primitive lense with the assumption that today we know it all.
Jeff Benner, much of his research is on point and makes learning Hebrew easy through the
not divination
but inherent mnemonic structure within the connection between the 2 and 3 letter root words and the meaning in the sentence within the letters of each dbar.
I don’t agree with everything, however if we each think outside of the box perhaps we could come up with a consensus and a better way of understanding the truth of The Word.
For example yesterday I was researching Netzach and I saw it was translated continue and victory and I wondered what they have in connection, through searching I found the farthest point in the horizon is it’s meaning, this connected the thoughts in the two ideas, and if the letters corresponded then I would have even more of a mnemonic for remembering the truth of the Word
Way to dismiss historical facts on the evolution of the alphabet/languages... seems like you rather keep your fantasy alive then to deal with facts...Jeff Benner’s stuff is not even peer reviewed by scholars because he knows it’s baseless material...
Gee thats funny , all the definitions I have heard applied to the Picto- Script , I have heard Rabbis say also applies to the Modern Hebrew script , Example Aleph (Power) Elohim (The Powers ) and a pictogram of a bull for aleph means strong or Power. the bet in picto is a house , bet in the modern script means the same . as evidenced by such words as based on that letter , like Beth (Temple) the mem looks like the waves of water in picto and water in hebrew is spelled with a mem (Mem yod Mem (MAYIM) , like H2o , one could literally write M2y ... wow , how did the ancients know that water had 2 gases .hmmm This guy has gotten a relatively small viewing , that tells me something . YAHWEH reveals truth . The motivation I hear in this guys voice is FEAR of some kind of loss or fear of a threat . He is somehow threatened by Picto.. LOL I could make a brand new alphabet and somebody would be threatened by it .
Love your discernment. Spot on!
Um he knows Chinese still has thousands of characters right 🤣
We’re so dumb. You’re so smart. 😂
If you want to really explore what Yahuah Yahushua, El the Word and Man, really said, why not use proper names and titles, explain where ba’al gawd comes from, where jhesus comes from, the nicolaitan overthrow of mainstream believers, if we can be called believers in such a state.
Teach how Sunday, x-mass, Easter and the like is part of the worship of the icon of the beast.
I wish I could talk to this man. He is so completely irreverent to the Glory of HaShem, my heart morns for him.
The Paleo Pictographic Hebrew consists of images that reflect aspects of our reality, as created by Yah. They are not random images, they are the DNA of our reality. I didn’t learn this from any other book except the Torah -everything else is a distraction.
The main point this man glossed over here (in the first 30 seconds), is the movement away from Biblical Hebrew toward a modern-Hebrew. It is tragic how utterly horrific how the World is removing HaShem from everything. So sad. Whoa to us all.
Hebrew is not paleo pictographic, Hebrew is ktav as huri, Chabad Torah scroll facts say todays Torah is written exactly the same as the first Torah written by Moses not paleo Hebrew which is not Hebrew but Phoenician
@@SaintSergey The archeological record proves that Modern Hebrew script was derived from the Paleo Pictographic script around the 5th Century BC, while the Israelites were in captivity. The claim, according to you, that Chabad makes is easily proven to be erroneous.
This teaching is complete idiocy. Guess he has never heard of the bi-consonantal root theory or why and how it works. Anybody can pull a “scholar” out of a hat to prove their point. 🙄
The pictographic script theory just makes no sense when it comes to linguistics let alone basic understanding of how alphabets and how scripts in general work
So please give us a scholar that would disagree with Brown’s position here... I’ll wait. And good luck. LOL
This is the exact same kind of thing that Rabbis do in mystical Jewish literature Dr. Brown... The Rabbis split words up and give symbolic meanings to the letters as well. Why would you fault a believer for giving a mystical interpretation to Genesis and finding the Gospel and not fault the Rabbis for all the same exact kind of thing? Or do you not know that Rabbis do this exact same kind of thing?
Trust me... he knows. And he often points out their errors too. Try being less emotional.
@@Mr_A1-37 To point out something that is hypocritical is not being emotional. Please go away with your worthless straw man personal attacks.
And if you are so sure that he knows, then do share where he made a video specifically complaining about the way Rabbis mystically interpret Hebrew letters.
Excellent presentation very accurate,love his work
Matthew 5:18
“For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.” - kjv....jots and tittles....
Daniel 12/4
4¶“But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book until the time of the end; many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.”
Worth watching and understanding that phonetic sound language and pictographic language are not the same thing. Even if one was related to the other at some point in history it's not the same tool of language. A screwdriver and a hammer are two different tools.
seems to me thay changed the meaning of the Hebrew words to fit your narrative.
it's Bible prophecy, you're babbling.
Genesis 11:6-9
And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.
Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.
So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.
Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.
Thank you Dr. Brown for bringing in logic and truth to this crazy esoteric idea. Scholars don't even agree on what these pictographs even represent. For instance, Douglas Petrovich (Ph.D). believes the 6th letter, the waw, to represent a hook that hung the curtain in the temple rather than a nail. His book The World's Oldest Alphabet is an interesting read.
The problem is that most mainstream teachers have stopped being students of the Word. According to their doctrines (and I'm talking in general here) they have been "educated" and can teach, yet... These are exactly the kind of people Messiah warned about. In vain do you worship Me, teaching as doctrines the commands of men. I'll stick to the original Scriptures, thank you Dr Brown.
The real danger is what the church has done to the correct way of Bible teaching. We are in the age of knowledge. The church should up their game if they think they will outwit us. Sorry man, go do a lot of homework and then post again. Gone are the days of putting on fancy clothing, nice music (to get us in the right hypnotic state) to keep us hanging on to the lips of the "knowledgeable" preachers. Hilarious.
You lost me when you memtion scholars, Pharisees where scholars....
Praise YAH firmly Worship YAH humbley Give thanks for the Messiah Halalu-YAH !
To me this theory that each letter is a glyph which has a meaning (that sometimes relates to the shape of the glyph) is the same way Runes were developed as a system of divination. Except instead of casting Runes onto a surface or picking them from a bag these people are picking random words from the Bible to see what “hidden meaning” they can derive. It would hold more merit if they could show that this system works for complete sentences found in the Bible instead of random words because the Bible was given to us in complete sentences in narrative form. Like any other divination system the meanings/proclamations are open ended enough that you can usually find a way to massage it into something that seems plausible.
For example, you may not believe in astrology but you may read your Zodiac sign’s description and feel like it kind of fits your personality. But if you take the time to read all the possible signs you’ll see aspects of your personality are also found in most of the signs. It’s just luck at best or intentionally misleading at worst that you can find enough of your own confirmation bias to make this system seem correct or true.
Systems of divination are something we are told to denounce and avoid as Christians, not because they are inaccurate but because they are spiritually dangerous. It’s too easy to be manipulated, exploited, lied to, and lead astray by the creators and practitioners of these systems. And while some people may feel that this method has merit, and may even strengthen their relationship or trust in God or in the Bible, there are many others at risk of being harmed by this mystical system which opens the door to so many other mystical/magical/“hidden”/“special”/occult knowledge systems or even investing large amounts of time and energy studying this system which would be better spent studying the actual Bible, in prayer, or in service to their church body or local community.
Our God is a living God, ready to communicate with us this very minute. Jesus taught seek, ask, knock, pray now about your current needs… not hunt, research, dig, postulate about the hidden ancient past to see what people maybe missed. This is why we should also avoid Gematria, casting lots, consulting oracles, the Urim and Thummim, idols and worshipping other gods, even though those are found in the Bible and ancient Hebrews also did them. Through our relationship/connections with Jesus and the Holy Spirit as Christians we have direct lines of communication with God now that they didn’t have. Go to the living source of knowledge, trust He will give you the information you need instead of pretending to be as smart as God that you can learn your own way of discerning truth without His actual presence and active participation.
the most highest and his son name has no meaning according to you?
there's an Awakening going on, and you don't like it and many others.
this leaves me speachless... God says he declairs the end from the begining... but when someone decodes the very first word of the Torah as secretly declairing the end from the begining, then mr brown scoffs at it?.. i really dont understand his complaint. so bereshit means the son of God with be destroyed by hand on the cross, great, thats fantastic, God declaired the end from the begining, thats amazing, God is above us by a long way... but mr brown scoffs !!! WHY?
Please listen again. He is not scoffing at any of the meaning of scripture, or even God declaring the end from the beginning. Simply a bogus methodology of interpretation. Do you honestly believe that someone, who has no prior knowledge of the gospel, could come to understand the gospel by understanding a pictograph from an ancient document (the Bible in this case.)? Not a chance. The reason these "teachers" come up with this, is because they already understand the truth of the gospel before they learned one word in Biblical Hebrew. Then they go back and learn a little Hebrew and "reverse engineer" the pictographic meaning into the text. Take Dr. Brown's challenge and disprove his facts at the end of the video. Better yet, take this Hebrew word from the Bible, put it back into Paleo Hebrew, and tell me the hidden message: צהר Ready? Go!
@@thekriskokid i think you need to listen again.... he is clearly saying that he does not agree with the way people are translating Bereshit with the inhanced palio letter meanings !!!
@@mrsteve555 you missed my point entirely. Forget about it, you are stubborn and will believe what you want to regardless if it is false.
@@thekriskokid you miss the point because you are ignorant !!! Hosea 4:6..... go and get an education and stop being so foolish, leave foolishness to the fools..... you better understand that hebrew letters have meanings.....Adam = strength in the blood, we know God is our strenth and God is life, weknow life is in the blood,you think Adam being called Adam is a coincidence, o please dont be so stupid.
I caught a lot of this in college, and it's a really great video and I generally agree with the conclusion that we shouldn't publicize things like this as proof of Christianity, there is much better proof in so many other ways. While I see that this video defeats much of the argument, intellectually speaking it does not defeat the Crux of the argument however: that God who is sovereign who made everything who numbers our hairs and does know when every Sparrow falls to the ground could have made the Divine name with the message presented, even though it would be indistinguishable from coincidence. and the argument could be made that while your name and my name maybe insignificant in the spelling that God's name is special as holy.
While I think this method of interpretation is idiotic and shouldn't be applied to Hebrew, it still makes me wonder if the sola example of the holy name is ONLY coincidence. I believe any other examples are fictitious. But we will never know until heaven, as again it is indistinguishable from coiencidence.
A false teacher that will tell you the Moedim are "jewish" when scripture tells us they are Elohim's.
I'm not impressed by His boasting in His knowledge of man where he derived his "title of man" called "Dr".
“Speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, and say to them, ‘The appointed times of יהוה, which you are to proclaim as set-apart gatherings, My appointed times, are these:
Wayyiqra (Leviticus) 23:2 TS2009
Using Egyptian writings to prove his theology. Come out of her my people!
BJ, you miss the point. Even if he taught against the moedim (which he doesn't - you misunderstand his point of view, whether you agree or not) it doesn't change the truth of this teaching. It is plain and indisputable. Your logic here would be the same as saying, "well, that murderer over there told us who robbed the bank, but we can't believe him, he's a murderer." One has no bearing on the other if the evidence proves who robbed the bank. The character of a person has no bearing on actual truth. Truth is truth no matter who says it. It is either true or it is not. Your argument is nothing but emotional. All you have to do is find scholars to refute the facts Dr. Brown stated at the end of the video, if you can't do that, then you'd best hold your tongue. Sorry brother, but that's the plain truth.
This man is very emotional. Instead of being neutral and displaying his facts in a sober pragmatic manner, he is almost hysterical. This negates his presentation, besides not have resources to back up his viewpoint.
typical Paulinist..
*YA'OH = GOD*
That’s not god
@@SaintSergey U might be right depending on your perspective....YA'OH IS THE CREATOR...WHICH means their is no other GOD Besides him.
Mr Brown has really missed the point here, he has the wrong end of the stick..... God said he is the first and the last, according to palio hebrew pictograph aleph tav has a meaning of God on the cross !!!.... Bereshit means son of God desproyed by hand on the cross (if you allow the 1st 2 letters to be read a s bar and translated as son)....
Hebrew is from before creation, if it clearly an alphbetic language and not pictographic but as the language of God creates, the letters used corrispond to the thing in some way.... hebrew is unique and the palio meaning only apply to true original biblicle hebrew and not modern yidish, and you cany apply hebrew pictographic meaning of aleph to an english "A".
