Quiet here today

A child that learns the Aleph Beth can read texts in the Tanach =Bible that are over 2000 years old and understand them since they have words he uses NOW everyday ,,,, that is facinating indeed , U have asked around Everybody here reacted with "Biblical Greek ???? " what`s that ???? and i mean people who are teaching history etc,,, Hebrew has absorbed some Greek from the Greek merchants who came here , from the Greek who ruled here , And did you know that the Phlishtiem were also Greek tribes ? who came here first to robe the shores , than invaded the shores , hence the word plishtiem =invaders .. mirjam

Alison, Classical Greek is also different from Biblical Greek. I do not know enough to explain the difference, but I know that they are totally different courses here. One of the differences is the stresson accents in Classical Greek. For the most part, they are unimportant in Biblical Greek. There are a few exceptions, but generally, we don't need to worry about the accents. Biblical Greek is also called "Koine Greek", and is a simpler language in many ways. HTH
