Bible Question:
I am wondering about the prounciation of some words in the Bible? For instance words like: Zabbai,Sanhedrin etc. Some of these I could divide into syllables but they are not the same as general English are they? |
Bible Answer: Anglo38-LL, Some words are tough; it takes practice. Even with a lexicon and pronunciation guide, most of us Westerners will mess up. I look at http://bible.crosswalk.com/Lexicons/Hebrew/ Before I moved, I had a Arabic friend who helped me with some words. I don't think I ever got it right. One other problem is we spell words wrong. The don't have a th, so Bethlehem is not correct. Steve |
