Ancient Hebrew Language and Alphabet

Ancient Hebrew Language and Alphabet
The name Eber also comes from the same root rb[ / avar,
making it possible that Eber was also a "Hebrew". The
Bible is the story of God and his covenant relationship
(Hebraicly understood as "crossing over" from death to
life) with an ancestral line beginning with Adam through
his descendants Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Jacob's
descendants, who became the "nation of Israel" also
known as "the Hebrews". A Hebrew was one who had
"crossed over" into a covenant relationship with God,
beginning with Adam. Any references to the "Ancient
Hebrews" in this book, is referring to the ancestral line
from Adam to the Nation of Israel.
The Origin of the Hebrew Language and Alphabet
Prior to the incident of the Tower of Babel, which will be
discussed later, only one language existed;
"And the whole earth was of one
language, and of one speech." (Genesis
11.1)
From this we can conclude that God, Adam and Eve and
their descendants spoke Hebrew.
The first use of the Hebrew language is recorded in
Genesis 1.3 where God says, rwa yhy (yehiy or), meaning,
"light exist". In the creation account God gave Hebrew
names to the sky (shamayim), land (erets), sun (shemesh),
moon (yerey'ach), stars (kokhaviym) and man (adam).
When God formed Adam he gave him this spoken
language and communicated with him (Genesis 1.28).
