As I was watching some sermons that mentioned a few Hebrews words in it, I started to want to learn more about this language and study the Bible deeper in other languages.
Today, I’m putting together a list of Hebrew Christian words that starts with A-Z so you can study it out with me too! It’s SO fascinating.
I can’t get enough of God’s Word 🔥 and studying it out in different ways and going DEEPER, has been so amazing and satisfying to my soul. I hope your soul is comforted and uplifted by the amount of words in this list and it helps you to see God’s Word from a different angle than you’re used to. 🥰
Hebrew Christian Words That Starts with A – Z
The cool thing is, is that once you start learning the Hebrew words, you can begin to put them together!
For example, Adonai means “the Lord” and Nissi means “my banner”. If you put them together:
Adonai Nissi – the Lord is my banner
That’s one of my favorite Hebrew phrases.
It’s well known that castles and kingdoms have flags they fly for different things.
For example in England, the Royal Standard (an orange flag bearing the coat of arms of the kingdom, surmounted by a crown and surrounded by the insignia of the grand cross of the military order of William. The flag is divided into four quarters by a cross of Nassau blue) is flown only when the Sovereign is present. If the Union Jack is flying above Buckingham Palace instead of the standard, the king is not in residence. When the king goes to Parliament, the Royal Standard flies from Victoria Tower.)
Even with pirate boats, they have flags that designate what they are, who they are, and so on.
Flags are very important. They represent what you believe in and who you are as a people.
The same was true in Bible times.
Flags (banners) would be flown for different castles, kingdoms, and peoples.
The idea of The Lord is our banner is a great illustration of who we are as believers and what we stand for.
In fact, it is said that when Moses raised his staff while defeating the Amalekites, he was in essence saying, “The Lord is my banner” to the people and after the victory, Moses built an altar and named it “Jehovah Nissi,” which translates to “The Lord is my Banner” (Exodus 17:15), Jehovah being another word meaning, “the Lord”.
This altar he built commemorated God’s victory over the Amalekites and symbolized God alone as the source of their strength and protection in battle.
Hebrew is a fun language to dive into and learn, even if you learn just a few words! You can really understand the Bible more from the root of things, how the people in that time era would have understood it, which helps us in rightly interpreting the Scriptures. 🥰
