A people's language is very related to their culture,<br />

cannot fully underst<strong>and</strong> their language. To cross this<br />
cultural bridge, we need to underst<strong>and</strong> the <strong>Ancient</strong><br />

How do we study the <strong>Ancient</strong> <strong>Hebrew</strong> language <strong>and</strong><br />
culture?<br />
Archeologists who uncover <strong>Ancient</strong> artifacts study the<br />
<strong>Ancient</strong> cultures. Anthropologists interpret these artifacts<br />
to determine the <strong>Ancient</strong> culture's way of life. Throughout<br />
the world there remains primitive cultures whose<br />
lifestyles have remained the same for thous<strong>and</strong>s of years,<br />
providing us with a close up view of how these <strong>Ancient</strong><br />
cultures lived. One of these groups is the desert nomad of<br />
the Middle East who still live much the way Abraham did<br />
over 3,000 years ago. Linguists <strong>and</strong> etymologists study<br />
the ancient languages, opening the door to their manner of<br />
speech <strong>and</strong> alphabets. Many <strong>Ancient</strong> cultures have left<br />
ancient texts recording their thoughts <strong>and</strong> lifestyle. The<br />
most notable text of the <strong>Ancient</strong> <strong>Hebrew</strong>s is of course the<br />

these fields of study, we open the door to the culture <strong>and</strong><br />
lifestyle of <strong>Ancient</strong> cultures. By studying these resources<br />
we can better underst<strong>and</strong> their words, which they have<br />
recorded in the Bible. The purpose of this book is to teach<br />
