Michael Brown — The Real Truth About the Paleo Hebrew Script

Hebrew scholar and Semitist, Dr. Michael Brown exposes the delusional claim that the meaning of Hebrew letters is to be found in their original pictographic (picture) representations. A myth thoroughly debunked by Semitology, here by Dr. Brown—and for good reason. Here’s why, it’s misleading and harmful to derive meanings from original letter shapes, by that standard you could literally compel any word you could imagine to say anything you want. It’s called divination—to take a sacred text and divine a hidden meaning from it. It’s a new form of Bible code and it’s just as flawed—good riddance to deluded claims.

Basic principles of exegesis is to study the original intended meaning of the original author. If the letters evolve it does not negate the original meaning. The original meaning does not evolve to the present time.

Anytime you hear someone say that somethings is 100 percent wrong and 100 percent without merit you know they are defending something else. Their own Theology....

The idea that you get more from the modern language then from the ancient....that is funny....study the scripture, study it’s origins (including the pictograms), and listen to the Holy Spirit who “will guide you into all truth”.

😂 some one ruffled this quackademic’s feathers! ‘Got him flapping about & squawking

[johnmichaeltabvuma]

It's shocking how a Dr in ancient near eastern languages would have such shallow, secular and misleading arguments.Jeff Benner is certainly not infallible, but he has helped preserve the ancient Hebrew pictographic script from extinction from secular 'Dr's like you.I pray that God opens your eyes someday to see His revealed truth.The modern Hebrew script is fast becoming devoid of its original revelation that lies in the pictographic alphabet, but it still is a window into the ancient Biblical truths preserved in the pictographic script.With all due respect sir, I implore YOU, rather than well-meaning author like Jeff to repent.

Then how do you explain the first verse in the bible showing a son taking up flesh and enduring the wrath of GOD at at a cross?

[skidaddler]

This teaching is complete idiocy. Guess he has never heard of the bi-consonantal root theory or why and how it works. Anybody can pull a “scholar” out of a hat to prove their point. 🙄

I wish I could talk to this man. He is so completely irreverent to the Glory of HaShem, my heart morns for him.
The Paleo Pictographic Hebrew consists of images that reflect aspects of our reality, as created by Yah. They are not random images, they are the DNA of our reality. I didn’t learn this from any other book except the Torah —everything else is a distraction.
The main point this man glossed over here (in the first 30 seconds), is the movement away from Biblical Hebrew toward a modern-Hebrew. It is tragic how utterly horrific how the World is removing HaShem from everything. So sad. Whoa to us all.

[tzaphkielmelekiyah]

Completely wrong here, even from the first two letters, aleph bet Av Father within the pictographs is the symbol for strong leader the buck and the house, the leader of the house ..

With mother it’s am strong and mem water glue which refers to the role of the mother, it seems like you learned this from a perspective of criticality observing the truly incorrect ways people applied it
and as a result you have assumed there was no authentic,
though it would disagree with most critical minded scholars who are trained to see the past through a primitive lense with the assumption that today we know it all.

Jeff Benner, much of his research is on point and makes learning Hebrew easy through the
not divination
but inherent mnemonic structure within the connection between the 2 and 3 letter root words and the meaning in the sentence within the letters of each dbar.

I don’t agree with everything, however if we each think outside of the box perhaps we could come up with a consensus and a better way of understanding the truth of The Word.

For example yesterday I was researching Netzach and I saw it was translated continue and victory and I wondered what they have in connection, through searching I found the farthest point in the horizon is it’s meaning, this connected the thoughts in the two ideas, and if the letters corresponded then I would have even more of a mnemonic for remembering the truth of the Word

If you want to really explore what Yahuah Yahushua, El the Word and Man, really said, why not use proper names and titles, explain where ba’al gawd comes from, where jhesus comes from, the nicolaitan overthrow of mainstream believers, if we can be called believers in such a state.

Teach how Sunday, x-mass, Easter and the like is part of the worship of the icon of the beast.

[YHUHderek]

This man is very emotional. Instead of being neutral and displaying his facts in a sober pragmatic manner, he is almost hysterical. This negates his presentation, besides not have resources to back up his viewpoint.

[christophernb]

seems to me thay changed the meaning of the Hebrew words to fit your narrative.
it's Bible prophecy, you're babbling.

Genesis 11:6-9
And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.
Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.
So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.
Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.

[frederickadams]

Gee thats funny, all the definitions I have heard applied to the Picto- Script, I have heard Rabbis say also applies to the Modern Hebrew script, Example Aleph (Power) Elohim (The Powers ) and a pictogram of a bull for aleph means strong or Power. the bet in picto is a house, bet in the modern script means the same . as evidenced by such words as based on that letter, like Beth (Temple) the mem looks like the waves of water in picto and water in hebrew is spelled with a mem (Mem yod Mem (MAYIM), like H2o , one could literally write M2y ... wow, how did the ancients know that water had 2 gases .hmmm This guy has gotten a relatively small viewing, that tells me something . YAHWEH reveals truth . The motivation I hear in this guys voice is FEAR of some kind of loss or fear of a threat . He is somehow threatened by Picto.. LOL I could make a brand new alphabet and somebody would be threatened by it .

Michael Brown & Bickle in a pickle

[lloydmcmullen]

Stop spreading lies! You have not studied the letters and you don’t know Hebrew! Study with an intelligent person. Shame on you for telling lies!!!

[mrsteve]

Mr Brown has really missed the point here, he has the wrong end of the God said he is the first and the last, according to palio hebrew pictograph aleph tav has a meaning of God on the cross !!!.... Bereshit means son of God desproyed by hand on the cross (if you allow the 1st 2 letters to be read a s bar and translated as son)....

Hebrew is from before creation, if it clearly an alphbetic language and not pictographic but as the language of God creates, the letters used corrispond to the thing in some way.... hebrew is unique and the palio meaning only apply to true original biblicle hebrew and not modern yidish, and you cany apply hebrew pictographic meaning of aleph to an english "A".

Isaiah 48:12 Hearken unto me, O Jacob and Israel, my called; I am he; I am the first (א), I also am the last (ת).

Genesis 3:8 And they heard את "the voice" of the LORD God "WALKING" in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden.

Isaiah 53:6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him את the iniquity of us all.

Zechariah 12:10 And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me את whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.

Revelation 1:7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.
8 I am Aleph (א) and Tav (ת) (את), the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.



Genesis 4:15 And the LORD said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the LORD set a mark (אות) upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him.

Exodus 3:12 And he said, Certainly I will be with thee; and this shall be a token (sign אות) unto thee, that I have sent thee: When thou hast brought forth the people out of Egypt, ye shall serve God upon this mountain.

the aleph tav 110% has meaning according to the palio hebrew meanings

[christophernb]

the most highest and his son name has no meaning according to you?

there's an Awakening going on, and you don't like it and many others.

[billmclean]

The phenomenon he describes has also ocurred with the Egyptian and Mayan glyphs. He is basically describing the typical evolution of writing from pictographic to alphabetic characters. I woild tend to agree with his assessment.

[larian]

Let me see if i get it straight:
He says that The Former Alphabet have no connection with the Original Meaning of the Pictographs ?
Makes sense.
Then the scripture (still today) in the Base of amount Sinai was pictograph, even a Menorah 🕎 was there before muslims destroyed in 2016-18 so so!
What’s says?

[xUncleAx]

This is the exact same kind of thing that Rabbis do in mystical Jewish literature Dr. Brown... The Rabbis split words up and give symbolic meanings to the letters as well. Why would you fault a believer for giving a mystical interpretation to Genesis and finding the Gospel and not fault the Rabbis for all the same exact kind of thing? Or do you not know that Rabbis do this exact same kind of thing?

[thekriskokid]

Thank you Dr. Brown for this teaching. I have "bought into" the pictographic understanding to a small degree, as have others I know. This brings so much clarity, where there was confusion before. I had a few discussion where we would sit around and try to understand the meaning of a verse or even a word, and we would mostly leave with no clear understanding. Thank you so much!
