Great video thanks. One question: was Torah written with Paleo Ebrew?

@@alessandroberia3417 that's a good question. It's discussed and debated even in the Talmud. It seems more likely, historically, that it was originally in Paleo Hebrew

@@alessandroberia3417 that's a tricky question. It really depends who you ask. The traditional Jewish view is that the Torah, meaning the Pentateuch, was composed around 1200 BCE. There are some Jewish scholars who could argue about pushing it 200 years forward, at least parts of it. There is no consensus amongst the academic community, but it's generally seen as being much later, some opinions list parts of it as being as late as the hellenistic era. Though there are many problems with each approach. But it's ancient

Seems a bit far-fetched, the connection between the image and the letter is very stretched out

This is an ancient video, I don't remember it offhand so can you tell me what letter you're referring to?

Clear explanation. You didn't enter in semantic value of each letter, not the ridiculous numbering, but pur semantic. Why a Nun in Nefesh or Nehesh ? Why a K in Kul ? Why a Lam in Eloh ? This is etymology, and thank to Torah and believers, and Qur'an and believers, the trace of anciant language of human beeing had been preserved. The PIE has cradle in proto-afro-semitic language.

What you call "Hebrew" alphabet is actually "Aramaic ".

@TheMuseumGuyIsrael 8 ай бұрын

That really depends. The modern square alphabet is indeed an adaptation of Aramaic. Paleo Hebrew is not Aramaic. It's from the same family
