Hebrew Words in the Gospels (4/7)
49m
If Jesus and his disciples were Jewish is it any surprise the Gospels are full of Jewish words? Many of these are lost in translation which is why the DHE transliterates them instead - so you get the original term with the full meaning. Of course if you don't know any Hebrew this can be a learning curve, but this version makes it easy with notes in the margins and a glossary in the back with pronunciations and historical backgrounds. Let's have some fun going through the Glossary of Transliterated Hebrew Terms in the back and learn how to say all these words right!
