The Misunderstanding Of Biblical Hebrew Words-The True Definitions

The Misunderstanding Of Biblical Hebrew Words-The True Definitions

Many of the Hebrew word meanings in the Bible are misunderstood. What we think we know about a word may not be it's true meaning.
The Hebrew words and sentences are written from right to left.
In the Greek translations of the Bible it is apparent that they did not understand some words or could not express them in that language.
Yahshua's teachings were written in the book of Matthew which was originally written in Hebrew and was called "The Gospel Of Hebrews"
The English definition of words can also cause confusion of Hebrew words.

The meaning of Hebrew words are always based on something tangible. Something you can understand through the five senses. For instance "In God's loving care" would be described as "In God's bosom". Whereas Greek words are based on intangible,vague, and abstract ideas. Many of the Hebrew words have been translated using abstract words to define Hebrew physical words/ meanings.

Hebrew words all spring from root words. To understand the meaning of a word in Hebrew, you gain insight by looking at the root words.

Atonement

Let's look at the Hebrew word כפרה , said kaphar and that was translated as "atonement"
In everyday English, atonement means reparation for a wrong or injury and in religious terms means, repairing or making amends or expiation for sin. But not in Hebrew. Kapar means "cover over"
If we offend someone they can pretend that what we did is covered or hidden.
It doesn't repair the offense because if you offend them again they can uncover the offense. Atonement does not mean to erase or do away with.

Vain

In the command "Thou shalt not take the Lord's name in "Vain". The Hebrew word translated as "vain" is שוא , said sheva and means, empty. Having no meaning, insincere. So, the word "false" is the true meaning of sheva. "Thou shalt not take the Lord's name falsely" or
"Thou shalt not speak or act in the name or character of Elohim falsely".
Don't describe or depict the nature of Elohim, falsely. It's like saying you live for God but you act in a character not of God.

Now you can see that the words take on a slightly different meaning than you were taught.

A List Of Other Words:

Image. The word for image is צלם, and said, tselem. As in,

Genesis 1:27
"So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them."
The word tselem does not mean we "look" like God because God is a spirit (Wind)
Tselem means "shadow'. Inside, we are a remnant or representation of Elohim.
We function like Elohim on a small scale. He placed within us a shadow of Himself
to act in the same manner.

Spirit. The Hebrew word רוח said ru'ahh, means wind. It is from the root word "rach"

which means "advised" or "recommended path". "Wind that follows a certain path". Spirit within a man describes his character. So he either follows the advised path or he doesn't. Elohim put into a man, the character or nature to follow the path given to him. It is the shadow of God.

The word for Holy Spirit is ru'ach.

Messiah ~ The Hebrew word Messiah meshi'ahh means to hold an office of authority, as a King or Priest.

{**Please note** I am explaining what is really being said in the English bible, and I am not declaring it as my beliefs. Some have accused me of being of the Messianic Jews religion, which I am not. I am simply explaining what it is suppose to mean.

If a person writes a murder-mystery book we certainly don't accuse that author of being a killer..so please don't accuse me of anything.}

Name. The Hebrew word, שם, said shem. does not mean "name" the way the English word means name. The word shem describes someone's character.

In English a name is just a word that lacks substance or reality.

In Hebrew titles and names both represent the character of a person.

The Hebrew name, יְשַׁעְיָהוּ, said, Yeshayahu, known to us as, Isaiah means
Yah is salvation. Isaiah was a prophet. So his title and name are both representations of his character. "He who declares or foretells, of Elohim's salvation".
If we ask the Father in Yahshua's name, we ask in the character of the name Yahshua.
Yahshua Ha Mashiach Nagid
Let's look at the name a little closer. Remember that the Hebrew language uses names and titles to describe someone's character or attributes.

Before Yahshua was born it was prophecied that he would be called Immanuel.
So Immanuel would become part of His character or it was known that He would be of this character.
Anytime you see El on the end of a title or name, it relays some kind of God attribute. Immanu-El. . The word אל is Hebrew for El=Eyl and means mighty one.
It also means the word "To".
Yahshua came in God's name, "Yah" and "Yahshua" means God is salvation.
The King (Messiah) lived his life as an example showing us that God's salvation is through the Kingdom of God in the flesh through the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit dwelled in Yahshua from the time He was baptised which sanctified his body.

God showed us this truth by resurrecting Yahshua's spirit along with his flesh. Because he lived a pure life by God's word, his spirit was holy. After he was ascended his Spirit was sent to us to help us stay on the correct path. John 16:7
"Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you".

Matthew 26:61

And said, This fellow said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.

John 2:

19. Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
21. But he spake of the temple of his body

The Holy Spirit enters/Lites to comfort and bring to remembrance the things of God.
Yahshua was the first to be filled with the Holy Spirit. Therefore, God with us indwelling in Emmanuel.

Isaiah 11
1.A shoot will come up from the stump of Jesse;
from his roots a Branch will bear fruit.
2 The Spirit of the LORD will rest on him-
the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding,
the Spirit of counsel and of power,
