To understand Hebrew better, I realized I needed to move away from the usual methods. I decided to study the letters and their shapes to discover their meanings on my own; inductively. Hebrew had been a dead language; the ancient way of understanding Hebrew had been forgotten, I began reverse-engineering the language. | To understand Hebrew better, I realized I needed to move away from the usual methods.

I broke down about 8,000 Hebrew words (called lemmas) from Strong’s Concordance into their individual letters. Then, I studied the strokes and shapes of each letter, treating Hebrew like a huge, 3D crossword puzzle. (See [[ Appendix 3 Hebrew as a Multidimensional Crossword Puzzle ]] ) As I worked, patterns and connections began to appear. When I applied these ideas to the first verse of Genesis, it felt like a big breakthrough.

My work isn’t finished, and I’d love to hear thoughts and ideas from others. But so far, this journey has been exciting and rewarding. I believe I’m on the right path to uncovering the deeper meanings of Hebrew and, through it, the Bible itself. | My work isn’t finished, and I’d love to hear thoughts and ideas from others.
