I am fascinated by the Bible languages: Greek and Hebrew, but I have no natural talent for learning them. For example, for years, off and on, I have tried to at least learn the aleph-bet of the Hebrew grammar, and it just doesn’t stick in my mind! So at age 82 1/2, I am trying again.
For example, I am trying to follow the acrostic psalm, Ps. 37, of which each of some 21-22 verses start with a new letter of the Hebrew “alphabet”. Here is a kid’s song to help learn the alphabet: (there are several different songs – found with a google search): https://www.youtube.com/@animatedhebrew
And here is a link to the interlinear Hebrew-English bible: https://biblehub.com/interlinear/psalms/37.htm
The Aleph start is not clear until you notice it starts after the first word which is translated “A Psalm of David”. And Aleph is the first letter of “Not”.
Verse 3 starts with the 2nd letter; Bet, “Trust”.
“Gimmel”, the 3rd Hebrew letter, starts verse 5: “Commit”, and so on.
Please comment if you have other links that help.
Thanks. Boyd
