Ancient Hebrew Language and Alphabet

Ancient Hebrew Language and Alphabet
The man also used this same language to give names 4 to
all of the birds (oph), animals (behemah), beasts (hayah
sadeh) and woman 5 (iyshah).
The first indication of writing is found in Genesis 4.15
where God puts a "mark" on Cain. The Hebrew word for
"mark" is twa / owt and is also the Hebrew word for a
"letter" indicating that it may have been a "letter" that
God placed on him.
As will be demonstrated later, the Ancient Hebrew
language (speech) and alphabet (script) are dependent
upon each other, supporting a simultaneous appearance of
the language and alphabet. Since God is the originator of
the Hebrew language, he is also the originator of the
alphabet.
Pre-flood writings have been discovered in the city of
Kish 6 (fig. 1). Several of the letters in this tablet are
identical to the original Hebrew letters 7 (See Appendix
D).

Over time all alphabets evolve. Therefore, it is possible for the
writing system of Noah's day to differ from the alephbet given to
Adam.
