The language connection
The language of the early Hebrews bears an
amazing correspondence to a number of European languages, including English. Can all
of this be just a coincidence, or is there a connection? Here is the evidence.
"LORD"
ADONIS is from the Hebrew Adon meaning Lord or Ruler. Exodus 23:17 says:
Exo 23:17 Three times in the year all thy males shall appear before the LORD GOD.
Adon with the Hebrew suffix AI (meaning 'MY') added is ADONAI, ("MY LORD")
which is the most common name of God in the Hebrew text of the Bible.
The Norse God Odin is derived from the Hebrew word, Adon, as is the Tuetonic God, WODEN,
from which we get our day of the week, Wednesday.
Odin was the Norse leader to led the Caucasian tribes out of Asia and into Scandinavia
in ancient times. In ancient Egypt, Biblical Joseph, father of Ephraim and Manasseh,
was the ADON, or ruler, olver all the land of Egypt. Genesis 45:9 says,
Gen 45:8 So now it was not you that sent me hither, but God: and he hath made me a father
to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and a ruler throughout all the land of Egypt.
Gen 45:9 Haste ye, and go up to my father, and say unto him, Thus saith thy son Joseph,
God hath made me LORD of all Egypt: come down unto me, tarry not:
Another variation of this is the word, ADAM, meaning man or ruddy, was the earth's lord
and master, and was to take dominion over all the earth.
How about another related word: MADONNA, from the Latin mea (my) and donna (lady); or "MY
LADY." The title, lady is the feminine of Lord (as in Lords and Ladies). The pagan
Romans worshipped a female goddess called Mea Domina, or the Mother Ruler, which became
corrupted into the mother of Jesus after Christianity came to Rome.
MARKET
The Hebrew-Phoenicians were great traders throughout the known world, and we see that
in our word market even today. Market comes from the Latin word MERCARI, meaning to
trade, which in turn came from the Hebrew-Phoenician word,. MIKHER, meaning to pay a
price, as seen in II Samuel 24:24:
2 Sam 24:24 And the king said unto Araunah, Nay; but I will surely buy it of thee at
a PRICE: neither will I offer burnt offerings unto the LORD my God of that which doth
cost me nothing. So David bought the threshingfloor and the oxen for fifty shekels of
silver.
MOCHAR (MAH-KHAR means a merchant in Genesis 37:36, speaking of Joseph in Egypt:
Gen 37:36 And the Midianites SOLD him into Egypt unto Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh's,
and captain of the guard.
From this original Hebrew word we have our modern words Commerce, market, mart, mercantile,
mercenary, merchandise, mercer, merchant, mercury, and mercy.
AMEN
The Hebrew word, AMEN, (meaning so be it, it is true and certain) is the root of our
word, Amenable, (meaning willing to believe and submit, agreable).
MONEY
The word Money comes from the Hebrew word, Mone (Moan-Eh), meaning a weight or coin.
Ezekiel 45:12 says:
Ezek 45:12 And the shekel shall be twenty gerahs: twenty shekels, five and twenty shekels,
fifteen shekels, shall be your MANEH.
Related words, Mana, means to count or number in II Kings 12:11,
2 Ki 12:11 And they gave the money, being told, into the hands of them that did the
work, that had the oversight of the house of the LORD: and they laid it out to the carpenters
and builders, that wrought upon the house of the LORD,
MINA means to number as in:
Dan 5:25 And this is the writing that was written, MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.
Dan 5:26 This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE; God hath numbered thy kingdom,
and finished it.
MAMON is money, from a related Aramaic word, mamona meaning riches.
Etymologist Ernest Klein says that the latin word moneta meaning mint and money is conjectured
to be from Phoenician Hebrew origin.
MYSTERY
The word mystery is "the secret worship of a deity or a secret thing." The
Hebrew word, MESTAR is a secret place:
Jer 13:17 But if ye will not hear it, my soul shall weep in secret places for your pride;
and mine eye shall weep sore, and run down with tears, because the Lord's flock is carried
away captive.
Related Hebrew words are bimestar meaning secretly in Psalm 10:9, and misootar is secret
in Proverbs 27:5. Yet another related word is Nistaros:
Deu 29:29 The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are
revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of
this law.
In pre-Christian Greece and Italy, they worshipped Astarte, which is linked to the pagan
Phoenician and Syrian Ashtoreth, which in turn was adopted from ancient Babylon and
Assyrian Ishtar; all were a magical mystery religion. The word mystic is also related.
BOTANY
Botany comes from the Greek word botane, meaning a plant or herb, but possibly even
earlier from the Hebrew Nabhat, meaning a sprout; the Hebrew boten are nuts in
Genesis 43:11, and Nebh(eg) is a fungus. The Semitic Arabic word batatis is the
root of potato.
EUROPE
The dictionaries aren't sure what Europe means, but in ancient Greek mythology, Europa
was a Phoenician princess who was carried off to the West. In Hebrew, the word, West,
is (Ma)Urobh, as in Psalm 103:12. The root of this Hebrew word is EREV, meaning EVENING,
and west is the direction of the setting sun of the evening-time. This word appears
in Genesis 1:5. In fact, ancient Assyrian monuments speak of the land of EREB, meaning "Setting
Sun Land." Likewise, ASU (ASHU) was Assyrian lingo for "land of the rising
sun," and of course, the sun rises in the EAST. So we see where we got the modern
terms.
EAST AND WEST
Speaking of evening, the Hebrew word for that is (HEY)-EVE, meaning to darken or grow
cloudy. (YA)EV in Lamentations 2:1 means "covered with a cloud."
Hebrew language scholar, Dr. Isaac Mozeson, wrote an entire dictionary of words which in English are derived from Hebrew. It is entitled, "“The Word, The Dictionary That Reveals the Hebrew Source of English,” and includes over 5,000 words with a Hebrew origin. Most modern dictionaries ignore this connection even for words with a very obvious Hebrew connection, such as "jubilee" and "jubiliate," etc. The aforementioned words are usually only ascribed to Latin or Greek! Thus, the truth has been obscured on the Hebew-English connection.
