“And He said, Let there be light, and there was light.” — Genesis 1 : 3
The creative speech of Elohim came through the letters of His own language a pure frequency of life, order, and holiness.
The Torah and the Prophets were written in Hebrew, and the New Testament (Brit hadasha) in Aramaic, the sister language of Hebrew. Though Greek copies exist today, they are translations, often incomplete or distorted. We use what we have, but we pursue what is true and original.
“Every word of Elohim is pure.” — Proverbs 30 : 5
The goal of studying Hebrew and Aramaic is not pride or debate, but to return to the purity of revelation that YHWH gave to our forefathers.
Over generations, the Hebrew writing system evolved, though the essence of the tongue never changed.
A basic understanding of Hebrew words and culture reveals the deeper meaning and intention behind the Scriptures. Each letter holds pictorial and numerical meaning, connecting heaven’s wisdom with earthly understanding.
“Open my eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of Your Torah.” — Psalm 119 : 18
Learning even a few Hebrew roots brings new life to Scripture not just reading it, but hearing YHWH’s voice behind the words.
The Aramaic language is intertwined with Hebrew both sharing the same Semitic roots.
It was the primary language spoken by Yeshua and His disciples in the land of Israel.
• The Book of Daniel contains long Aramaic sections (Daniel 2:4–7:28).
• Ezra and Esther also include Aramaic portions.
• Many phrases in the New Testament — such as “Talitha qumi,” “Eli Eli lamana shabaqthani,” and “Raqa” — remain untranslated proof of the Aramaic originals.
The Greek texts contain Aramaic and Hebrew words left untranslated or misspelt, something confirmed by Kohen OlamYAH-EL through years of textual comparison. These errors expose the Greek manuscripts as copies, not originals.
Language is not only written, it is spoken, and how it is spoken reveals identity and lineage.
Many modern debates about “correct Hebrew” ignore that in Scripture there were dialects among the tribes of Israel.
• The Ephraimites could not pronounce the “sh” sound (Judges 12 : 6) — they said “sibboleth” instead of “shibboleth.”
• Kepha (Peter) was recognized by his Galilean dialect (Matthew 26 : 73).
These examples show that regional differences existed and were accepted within the ancient community.
Furthermore, Hebrew and Yiddish are not the same language. Modern Jewish converts in Europe took Aramaic letters and combined them with Germanic vocabulary to create Yiddish a European hybrid, not the original Hebrew tongue. This confusion has led many to mistake revived modern Hebrew for the ancient sacred language of the patriarchs.It is therefore a time for wisdom, not argument. At Beth Elohim, we are grateful to understand this truth and to preserve the ancient pronunciation and rhythm handed down through the Order of Melchizedek, the sound of the original tongue of heaven.
You do not need to become a master of Hebrew or Aramaic, but even a basic foundation unlocks deeper revelation. Knowing the original language removes confusion from translations and brings you closer to the voice of the Most High.
“For then will I restore to the peoples a pure language, that they may all call upon the Name of YHWH, to serve Him with one accord.” — Zephaniah 3 : 9
This prophecy is being fulfilled as believers worldwide awaken to the sacred tongue once again.
Some say, “It’s not important.” But if the Scriptures were inspired in Hebrew and Aramaic, then these languages carry the divine breath of inspiration itself. To know them is to draw closer to the heart of Elohim and the original expression of His truth.
Learning the sacred tongue brings clarity, humility, and alignment with heaven’s pattern. It opens the door to understanding the Living Word, Yeshua in His own language.
Conclusion
Hebrew is the language of creation, and Aramaic the language of revelation. Together, they preserve the foundation of divine truth and carry the melody of the Kingdom. To study them is not pride, it is reverence. At Beth Elohim, we honour these languages as sacred gifts that restore unity among Israel and deepen our connection to YHWH. May all who seek truth receive the pure tongue promised by the prophets and rediscover the living power of the words spoken by the Most High.
