Sinopsis
Excerpt from The Hebrew Language: Viewed in the Light of Assyrian Research
The facts here brought forward are of such fundamental importance, that I shall be grateful for any well-founded objections which may be urged against them. They mate rially change our views of the different degrees of affinity between the Semitic languages, and assign chiefly to Ara bic a position quite different from that which it has hitherto occupied. If we take a single Arabic verb like M as compared with the North Semitic 15-1, and consider the loss sustained by Arabic of so many ancient Semitic words (see Dillmann, Ethiopic Grammar, p. 5, note), and the nu merous inflections of late origin, we are compelled to ad mit that Arabic cannot be the prototype of the other Se mitic languages, least of all of Hebrew. This opinion receives the fullest confirmation from Assyrian research. It is, therefore, time to abandon the ordinary practice of forcing the peculiar, often late, meanings of the Arabic words upon the much older Hebrew sister. The editors of the last editions of Gesenius's dictionary will perhaps now agree with me that in future it will no longer be sufficient to patch some new Assyrian pieces upon an old cloth, but that a thorough revision of every Hebrew stem and of every Hebrew word must be effected. This salutary refor mation of the Hebrew dictionary by means of Assyrian, so far from increasing the bulk of the lexiconl, will save much useful space by the removal 'of a mass of erroneous statements and worthless speculations.

Excerpt from The Hebrew Language: Viewed in the Light of Assyrian Research
When I commenced the study of Assyrian, Assyriology was in a state of slavish dependency on Arabic lerico graphy. People were happy to compare the Assyrian tel/3hr, to trust, now recognised to mean originally to be strong.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating realm of the Hebrew language, shedding light on its historical development and intricate connections to other Semitic languages. The author embarks on a captivating exploration of the profound impact of Assyrian and Babylonian discoveries on our understanding of Hebrew. The author challenges traditional interpretations of Hebrew, particularly those reliant on Arabic as the primary reference point. Instead, this book advocates for a fresh perspective, utilizing the insights gained from Assyrian research to illuminate the true meanings of Hebrew words and grammatical structures. This shift in approach promises to unlock new depths of understanding in the study of the Old Testament and its language. Drawing upon a wealth of examples, the author expertly demonstrates how the Babylonian and Assyrian languages provide invaluable keys to deciphering Hebrew vocabulary, proper names, and even the names of months adopted by the Jewish people during their exile. The book also delves into intriguing etymological discussions, dispelling misconceptions about the origins of certain Hebrew words and affirming their Semitic roots. By illuminating the close relationship between Hebrew and its Mesopotamian counterparts, this book offers a compelling and transformative lens through which to appreciate the richness and complexity of the Hebrew language. It underscores the significance of Assyrian research in reshaping our understanding of the historical and linguistic landscape of the ancient Near East.
