How I think the word Hebrew came to existence?

 

I must be open right away and tell you I have not studied Hebrew at school. I do not know 100% paleo Hebrew and I do not claim to know or understand everything.

I am building my vocabulary from people who were comparing Hebrew and Bantu words. Also as I listened or read other Hebrew words, I could tell right away that I know the word. Quickly I discovered how to decode the Hebrew language. The answer is in the word Hebrew. I know right.

It is hard to believe that the word itself is the key to unlock this language. So as I was reading the first appearance of the word Hebrew in Genesis 14: 13a which reads as this: One who had escaped came and reported this to Abram the Hebrew.

Well, I tried getting the meaning of the word and it is as if someone is playing mind tricks with the meaning. Other bibles at the footnote will say the meaning is uncertain. How on earth can someone be called something uncertain? I found one bible online that said the word Hebrew means traveller. I sat and asked what is a traveller in Bantu and the word in Nguni is um’hambi/isi’hambi (apostrophe added on purpose). You will ask how is it similar to the word Hebrew then.

Let me unpack the word right in front of you. The two common letters H an B in both Hebrew word Hebrew and Bantu word Hambi are the key. That alone is like impossible in most languages that are not related to share any letters unless they belong to the same ‘’group’’ of languages. So Bantu language(s) and Hebrew language clearly belongs to the same group because a traveller in Hebrew is Hebrew and in Bantu is um/isi’hambi.

You will ask, what about the other letters. I am getting there just now.

The word umhambi/ isihambi comes from the word hamba which is to walk or travel.

Now lets us compare the root word hamba and Hebrew. Hamba vs Hebrew. Do you see the similarities?

No. Let me show you. If I were to turn the a’s upside down they become e’s. Do you agree? No. Yes

Hamba with a’s turned upside down will turn to Hembe. I hope you are following. Bantu languages differ in that some dialects have Rs some don’t. In this instance it seems the person used R in the wrong place and I bet it was intentional.  The second deception was taking m and put it right at the end. It would then be read as Hebem. If you feel the person can still pick up the language you turn the ‘’m’’ upside down again to make w. The word would then be HEBEW we are getting there now. The last thing to do is throw in the letter R where it does not belong between B and E and there you will have it – HEBREW.  From Hamba to Hebrew. And this method of deception is throughout the Hebrew written Bible.

1   Letters are turned into something they were not.
2. New letters are added here and there
3.  Some letters are taken out of the word completely

 Assuming the 3 things I mentioned above you still have letters to guide you whether the word is Bantu or not just like HB was common on both hamba and Hebrew. I always look at the meaning first, then common letters then see where Hebrew intentionally distorted the word so that it sounds foreign.

I will be unlocking peoples’ names in stages so that we see what the original names could have been.

If you know Bantu languages (Nguni or Sotho) or any other Bantu dialects across Africa I plead with you to get into the Hebrew written bible. It will be difficult because 1. Most Bantus know a few Bantu dialects and the Hebrew bible has most Bantu dialects 2. We have had this animosity toward each other for long which has in turn seen other dialects as something else. This animosity is the only stumbling block right now. If you know Nguni and Sotho at the same time count yourself in this project. If you are Nguni and think Sotho is difficult, how did you learn English? If you are Sotho and think Nguni is difficult, how did you learn English?

The war is not physical but psychological. I feel anger inside me when I realise our schools did not see it fit to make Sothos (Pedi, Tswana, Sotho) and Ngunis (Xhosa, Zulu, Swati, Ndebele) learn each other’s languages at school.

Hebrew is a made-up word and so are other words in the Hebrew bible. However, we can be rest assured that Hebrew language is coming from multiple Bantus dialects.
