Hebrew WordPlay in the Bible
Playing with Words This week I had the lovely experience of being interviewed by Rick Welch of the Burros of Berea podcast. We had a great chat about Hebrew words, idioms, chiasms and all sorts of fun Bible-based musings! Once it’s posted I’ll share the link. Part of the conversation included why word studies alone aren’t… Continue reading Hebrew WordPlay in the Bible

A-Z: A Tidy-up of the Word Lists
Hello folks! This week I thought I'd tidy up the word lists, linking the latest word studies and ensuring everything is in order. We have words from Accuser to Young... but no Z words. There weren't zoos, or zippers, or zambonis in Biblical times. There would have been zebras, but they didn't make the Bible's… Continue reading A-Z: A Tidy-up of the Word Lists
Nasha/Yashi: Being DECEIVED
Deceived: nasha, verb (Strong’s 5377) Root: יַשִּׁ֥א Deception is a tricky thing. I'm particularly frustrated with AI and their manipulation of photographs. I'm not entirely anti-AI, it has its helpful uses, but I am faced, daily, with images on social media that make me question their validity. Am I really looking at an authentic photo… Continue reading Nasha/Yashi: Being DECEIVED
El Elyon: The God Most High
Most High: Elyon, adjective (Strong’s 5945). Hebrew lettering: עֶלְיוֹן Sounds like: Elyone (rhymes with phone) God the “Most High”... this is one of the many descriptor names representing YHWH. It’s all through the Bible, in the Torah, the prophetic writings, the poetry, the historical accounts, including the Gospels. And we tend to just carry on… Continue reading El Elyon: The God Most High
Paul: The Final Trek to Jerusalem
Hello folks! I had every intention of providing a new word posting today. I just had a bit of editing to finish, but I've been struck wtih a headache and sinus cold that is taking me out of the game. I have just enough energy left to crawl into bed. I did, however, manage to… Continue reading Paul: The Final Trek to Jerusalem
A Quick Hello!
Just a short stop-by to say, "Hi!" I've had a bustling week. My hand healing is coming along with some simple, yet challenging for me, physio exercises. I can still only type one-handed which, I must say, drives me crazy! However, I'm using this time to catch up on my reading. This week I dived… Continue reading A Quick Hello!

One of the lovely things has been finding out that at least a dozen books have referenced HebrewWordLessons, six of… Continue reading HebrewWordLessons is Quoted in Books?!
Revisiting LAUGHTER and PLAY
I'm still healing from my trapeziectomy which means I'm typing with one hand (or rather one finger). I could use voice to text but I write better than I speak. Tomorrow my cast comes off (briefly) to view the stitches. I'm looking forward to airing out my arm and the bottom of my hand, even… Continue reading Revisiting LAUGHTER and PLAY
