Determined to learn Hebrew more accurately, I turned to the teachings of the Rabbis. However, this was a double-edged sword. While their understanding of Hebrew was deeper in some ways, the Rabbis, unfortunately, reject Christ, which means their interpretations are often skewed and lead one away from Him. While it’s possible that some of their insights are inadvertently correct, the majority of their teachings are not. | Determined to learn Hebrew more accurately, I turned to the teachings of the Rabbis.

A clear example of this is their false claim made to Jerome that there were only 22 letters in the Hebrew alphabet. In reality, the Rabbis teach that Hebrew has 28 letters, each carrying its own unique meaning. Six of these are called "final forms," which are used only when certain letters appear at the end of words. One of these final forms is even used in the priest's garment but is never found in any word. Interestingly, 28 is a much more appealing number than 22, and the Rabbis' explanation of this idea seemed to further obscure the truth. | A clear example of this is their false claim made to Jerome that there were only 22 letters in the Hebrew alphabet.

Additionally, the Rabbis misled Jerome by telling him that Hebrew was like Greek, with three-letter roots for every word. This claim overlooks a crucial aspect of the language: the meaning of Hebrew letters comes from the strokes and shapes within them. The Rabbis failed to account for the profound significance of these individual strokes in the letters, which is key to understanding Hebrew words more deeply. | Additionally, the Rabbis misled Jerome by telling him that Hebrew was like Greek, with three-letter roots for every word.
