INTRODUCTION TO BIBLICAL LANGUAGES

Each language that God ordained to transmit divine revelation had a personality that made it suitable for such a purpose.

 

Christians believe that God has revealed himself through a book. Hence, those who read the Bible can profit from learning as much as possible about the languages in which it was written. The two major languages of Scripture, Greek and Hebrew (a few passages are written in Aramaic), represent two major language families, Indo-European and Semitic. Their contrasting linguistic traits combine to produce a thorough, progressive, propositional reve­lation of God. That revelation is characterized by simplicity, variety, and power.

 

The connection between language and thought is not a loose one; lan­guage is a product and reflection of the human soul. Language is not just a dress for thought to put on or off at pleasure, but the body, of which thought is the soul. Each language that God ordained to transmit divine revelation had a personality that made it suitable for such a purpose.

 

No translation can replace the original languages of the Bible in primary importance for conveying and perpetuating divine revelation. Those languages should he learned not merely from the outside, with grammar and lexicon, but also from the inside, with proper appreciation for the uniqueness of each one.    STUDY OF HEBREW AND GREEK
