The language of ivrit ( עברית ) Genesis 3, DTube Video #7
Welcome to my DTube Hebrew reading & language series.
The full study is now on line covering the Alef-Beyt here in my blog. This is a beginners program to teach letters, vowels, and reading. The vowels are marked in this bible and are designed to help avoid confusion on what a word is and how it is pronounced. The confusion is obvious in the hundreds of interpretations globally.
We are reading Genesis 3:17-20
Anyone who has done a bit of gardening knows what stepping on a thorn feels like. They had not been a part of daily life until disobedience because a reality. In a way, every day disobedience can still cause painful things to sprout on our path. Food for thought. In an earlier lesson we saw the famous wedding verse and today we have seen the famous funeral verse.
Here we see that the earth is now cursed because "the Adam" had listened to his wife and eaten from the tree against the instructions from God.
Last week the woman was promised pain in childbearing. Now the man is told that he will be in pain all the days of his life. Thorns and thistles sprouting, he will eat vegetation of the field (vegetarian?) and with sweat on his face he will eat bread until he returns to the ground.
Then the all too famous funeral verse...
"Because from the dust you were taken and to dust you will return."
The man then named his wife Havah. He said it was because she will be the mother of all of the alive one.
I wonder if the singular is of significance. The alive one.
It is interesting that "the Adam" had just been promised a painful, hard life and decomposition at the end of it, but he chose to look at the bright side and looked forward to his wife having children.

@hebrew,
Actually it's a good reading of "Genesis 3:17-20" today! Moreover, the video lesson of the reading obviously help entire community to get a clear picture! Valuable article and the reading! Moreover, I like the your teaching style! It's story type and very interesting!
Cheers~
As one who would disobey from time to time in my youth, I learned there were consequences, often painful ones, for disobeying. It took time, but I tended to learn that pain would occur when I disobeyed and through that I figured out that I could avoid pain by doing what I was told. Even if obeying wasn't what I wanted to do, I could avoid pain by doing so, so I obeyed. At some point I even got to the point where I wanted to obey because it made my parents happy. Not just following the letter, but the spirit of their rules.
I admire God's patience with me over the years as I think I've done more to be disobedient then I ever did to my parents. Maybe not disobedient, but not necessarily obedient. Through that I know I've experienced more pain than I needed to, often because of consequences of not following in God's footsteps. One of the most difficult things can be following even when you can't see where it's going. What's the reason for the trials and pain? I don't get it, so I'm going my own way!
Surprise, surprise, there's just more pain that way, but sometimes we need to take it to remember that even if we don't agree with God's methods, He's still a much gentler teacher than the world can be. The School of Hard Knocks can leave you in a pigpen with no inheritance. However, God is good and will always hug us, clean us off, and throw us a feast when we come back. How much simpler and more joyous would things be if we could just "trust and obey" without having to go through the pigpen?
Well put! There is a fork in that one way street. When you choose left, there is no throwing it in reverse after you see what is around the bend. It is permanent. God had a plan A and a plan B for the manor Adam.
He has a plan A, B, C, D, E, ....CD, CE, CF, CG, ... ZZF, ZZG, ZZH, ZZI, etc. for your life and has the outcome planned for each of your choices. Every plan made with love. Consequences? Yes.
How many times can you get busted when your Daddy is the Police Commissioner?
What fine is too expensive when your best friend is the King?
It is not what you do but who you know.
And if you know him, love him, you don't go dragging him out of bed to pay your fine yet again, though he will.
Good evening @hebrew as always, present to his teachings, and very grateful to have them. Now I understand why society educates man, work to be the provider of the family. I've never seen him. In that way, I always think it was just a human behavior, not a punishment from creation, an excellent contribution and a thousand thanks for sharing. Only something not clear mequedo and is that it says only vegetables and we eat meat too
Shabbat Shalom ... another important lesson. So much is revealed in the Hebrew of Beresheet. בְּרֵאשִׁית

@hebrew it's always a pleasure to acquire some knowledge from your weekly blog. This incident (similar to it ) I have read in my course-book ( Sociology of Religion) and after reading the details you shared here actually enhanced my knowledge in a very generous way.
I do personally feel that this #dtube methodology has improved my vocabulary in an effective way and this an awesome way to correct my basic grammar of this wonderful language #Hebrew.
Your post is very knowledgeable, learning lot's of things also wonderful your d tube video. This language is quite different from other language that i'm looking three to four words in a one word such as 'from fruit of him' with in a word that great.
I really enjoy your post, thanks.
Thank you too! Spanish is similar in some aspects that build things into one word.
Example: If someone were telling me (in Spanish) about a certain video game that Billy wants for his birthday, I could respond:
Iba a comprarselo.
Iba = I was going to
a = (grammatical pointer) this is like "et" in Hebrew
comprarselo = buy that for him
(comprar = buy)
(se = for him)
(lo = that, referring to the video game)
A wonderful lesson, my friend and your interpretation of Being in ancient and sacred language like Hebrew, shows me all the subtleties of God's actions to create peace and how to understand the actions of men and women! Thank you @hebrew
Very good job @hebrew. I had not seen another Steemian who was dedicated to studying and sharing the Hebrew language with the community... Keep it up!
Since I was little I love reading the Bible, I come from a religious family, that's why I love this educational publication, where I can learn from the original language of the Bible. In this opportunity of genesis I see the importance in the separation of masculine and feminine, I will go further in their publications to follow more closely their studies ... Thank you for teaching us ... I gave him resteem so that others also follow this important study
Dtube is very cool related to very cooperative teaching media. Thanks sir!
