It's also almost identical to what we know of Tyrian Phoenician and Punic

not quite. just like jewish hebrew evolved over time, so has the samaritan dialect with their loss of guterals that took place far earlier than it did partially for jews in certain diaspora communities.

@@meenawerda7521it’s not lol. You’re just an Arab supremacist. Hebrew no matter what form always comes before Arabic. Arabic is a uniquely colonial language

​@@blake4013 they're both descended from the same proto Semitic language. They're basically cousins.

It's not omitted, it's not made into a fricative as it currently is in modern Hebrew but it's a velarized stop. So he said shārek (eliding the pharyngeal fricative ע altogether into a long vowel rather than simply reducing it to a glottal stop as in a number of Hebrew pronunciation traditions) instead of sha'arekhā/šaʿareḵā as it's vocalized in the Masoretic text.

As a note, this pronunciation isn't actually very foreign to Judaism, the second person masculine singular possessive suffix of kāf sōfit had that morphology in Rabbinic/Mishnaic Hebrew and it's likely dialects not represented in the reading of the Masoretic text could have pronounced it like that (-ak/āk) especially as you approached Aramaic speaking areas where that was the pronunciation.

@@avtaras you really do hate samaritians don't you?

@@avtaras judaism became more hellenized over the centuries after the destruction of the temple in 70 ad so of course the samaritians reading of the torah in terms of pronunciation is going to be better in fact they haven't switched to the modern aramaic script

They don't have rabbis they are actual kohanim. Of course in a community of 850 people you easily have enough for every synagogue. Edit: apparently they have four synagogues.

samaritans classically never adopted "adonai" (The Lord or my Lord) as a placeholder for the tetragrammaton - YHWH (yemenite, masoretic and babylonian hebrew as well as some other sephardi dialects)/ YHBH (samaritan dialect)/YHVH (modern hebrew, ashkenazi and some sephardi and italian dialects). They were the first adopters of using HaShem as a placeholder for the sacred name instead. the tetragrammaton is written the same in both the aramaic block/square hebrew as well as in the samaritan variant of the paleo-hebrew script. it's only some of the letter sounds/names that are different

Ancient vav was both "vav" and "waw". Please don't judge Hebrew by Arabic, two different languages.

He is reciting Deuteronomy 6:5:" ...And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be upon thy heart; ... and they shall be for frontlets between thine eyes." Which is why Jews wear prayer boxes on their forheads during services!

@@MonkeyKillU the samaritan version has "memory" instead of "frontlet". That's why they don't use them.

@@Tsukuyomi28 though it could also be the same reason why the qaraites don't wear tefilin/phylacteries either as they interpret that part of deuteronomy as a metaphor as opposed to needing to literally wearing tefilin in that way

@@tzvi7989 they consider the hand part to be metaphorical and the head part they read as "memory"

Shem is name. Shema is hear.

What the priest was saying here is, he recited "Shema Ishrael, Shema Eloeenu..." That first Shema is the word שמע, which is the Hebrew verb meaning hear or obey. That second Shema is the word שמא, which is the Aramaic word meaning "the name" that the Samaritans use as a substitute for the 4-Letter Name of God (just like how modern Jewish people use "Hashem" for the same purpose)

@@Ant42Lee this is also because the samaritans lost their gutteral sounds in their hebrew dialect far earlier than the partial loss in some jewish dialects and modern hebrew so do not pronounce their heys at all - so the aramaic version was more convenient for them

@andre אני מושלימון your awsome. Do you have the whole thing anywhere or know a source?

@andre אני מושלימון you are heaven sent. Thank you so much

sound like the yementie shma chant

+Alon Alian well on my point of view the yemen way has a strong arabic influence, and this one sounds different

You forgot that 'Aleph in Ysr'l there, mate, and also it doesn't have the word 'Adonai in the Shema', but rather YahwehYHWH. And why do you replace so many vowels with 'a'? Did you find an ancient Hebrew text with different vowel indicators from 2000 years ago? You need to share this with the world!!! OR You need to consider verrrry carefully how bilingual Jews from long ago chose to write Hebrew names in Greek such as Elijah, Moses, Jehovah, Jesus, Joseph, Judas, etc. as Elias, Mouses, Iaio, Iesous, Ioseph, Ioudas as opposed to something like Alaias, Masas, Iaua, Iasawas, Iasaph, Iauadas. Because according to this weird 'Let's just reinvent the Hebrew language without having the slightest knowledge of ancient Near Eastern Semitic languages and their grammar, conjugation, use of consonants to denote certain vowels ie 'Mater Lectiones', and transliteration into other writing systems' ideology I see among a certain group of people on the internet and elsewhere, those latter 6 spellings of those Hebrew names SHOULD HAVE BEEN how these names were spelled in Greek by Hebrews 2000 years go. Now, I KNOW English distorts foreign names, dude. But the way people who spoke ancient Hebrew 2000 years ago does indeed reflect in how they spelled Hebrew names in Greek. Greek doesn't have an 'H' so Yehudah becomes Ioudas, as 'S' tends to show up when rendering Semitic names into Greek that otherwise end in a vowel. There's a Greek inscription from Zoar, I believe, (where Lot and his daughters ran off to initially) from about 2000 years ago in which the Hebrew Shema is written in Greek, and brother it shows clearly that the current pronunciation in the Hebrew Bible hasn't really changed as much as you'd think. -And that's a fact borne out by hard evidence from the time of Christ when Biblical Hebrew was still known and spoken. If Ancient Hebrew really was the way all these 'Black Israelite' folks are trying to reconstruct it, then why do the Ancient Hebrews themselves when using Greek write their names in such a way that supports the Masoretic pronunciation??

lets debunk quran

Our Torah language is from the ancient Hebrew

NZYR yes,but a lot of words in the Torah sound like and mean the same in today’s hebrew

No. Samaritan Hebrew has lost a LOT of sounds. ה is a glottal stop (like א). ו is a /b/ like ב (sometimes a /w/). ח can be a glottal stop or a pharyngeal fricative (like ע). ע is glottal stop like in Israeli Hebrew or sometimes a pharyngeal fricative. פ is a /f/ like in Arabic and sometimes a /b/. ק can sometimes be a glottal stop. ש has merged into a singular /ʃ/ like in Phoenician. Proper Israeli Hebrew has maintained א and ע. All Israelis pronounce ה as /h/ (although it is frequently elided in fluent speech), ח can be pronounced as /χ/ or (more properly) /ħ/, פ is retained as /p/ and /f/, and a distinction between /ʃ/ and /ś/ (now /s/) in the letter ש is still retained. Yemenite Hebrew, though, is by FAR the closest to the Hebrew the Ancient Israelites spoke.

@@Dr_Enoch_Metatron oh shut up please

@@Dr_Enoch_Metatron how is modern Hebrew "a disgusting desecration" but samaritan Hebrew not? I mean yes, in modern Hebrew phonology most speakers (though not all) realize ע and ח as /ʔ/ and /χ/ (and not as /ʕ/ and /ħ/, though to be fair historically ח was both /χ/ and /ħ/). But in Samaritan Hebrew א, ה, ח, ע, ק are all pronounced /ʔ/ eventhough historically only א was pronounced /ʔ/. How is that not "a desecration of the holy tongue"? Or let`s take Sin and Shin: historically there was a difference between Sin and Shin, but in Samaritan Hebrew Sin became Shin. How is that not a desecration of Hebrew?

mtblp - why do i care about Samaritan accent or anything ? i just watched the video. i just stated about hebrew eevree sound. Samaritan, i couldn't care anything about it. means zero to me. just researched the video for educational purpose. Samaritan this or that means zero to me.

Well actually written it is almost the same with normal biblical hebrew, just in another script (the samaritan abjad developed from the paleo-hebrew script which was the script used in pre-babylonic exile and thereafter occasionally was still in use untlil the bar kochba revolt ). The pronounication is different which can be split in two parts 1. mainaining some features of pre-babylonian-exilie phonology (such as ב always /b/, כ always /k/ . The fricative souds /v/, /χ/ came for the letters without dagesh came into Hebrew phonology in the babylonic exile under the influence of aramaic) and 2. differences from pre-exilic hebrew for example פ in pre-exilic phonology was always /p/, in post-exilic Hebrew (after 6th century BC) it is /p/ if theres a dagesh and /f/ without dagesh, while in samaritan Hebrew it is always /f/ (possibly under the influence of arabic). Other instances where samaritan Hebrew differentiates from pre-exilic Hebrew is the pronounciation of א, ה, ח, ע, ק as a glottal stop, while historically only א was a glottal stop. Also Sin became shin in samaritan Hebrew which also is different from all other varieties of hebrew.

Wrong.

No my man it just developed from a different dialect than Judahite Hebrew did because there were different dialects of Biblical Hebrew (see Gary Rendsburg et al. for Hebrew dialectology, see Ben Hayim for a description of Samaritan Hebrew).
