(Remember me - Alison Shepherd as was, back in 1981, Hebrew BA at Oxford like you?!) I was interested to read your comments on OHB and Prof. Williamson, since I'm writing an article on the modern use of the later Jewish Greek versions of the Tanakh - and these appear to be passed over in OHB, though Williamson uses them skilfully in his recent ICC commentary on Isaiah 1-5. Anyway, it's good to know that you are still engaged in Hebrew scholarship! All the best Alison Hi, Simon! (Remember me – Alison Shepherd as was, back in 1981, Hebrew BA at Oxford like you?!)

Aharoni Sun, 20 Sep 2009 22:39:10 +0000 http://www.smontagu.org/blog/?p=330#comment-29649 Преступление и наказание! Sometimes i try to think what makes people make certain spelling mistakes in Hebrew. This time i am rather lost, although not really surprised. After all, although now my eyes hurt when i see a vocalization like רָחֶם, only a year ago i myself would notice only one actual mistake (on ך) and the weirdly placed segol. I would probably also think that segol cannot come before י, although in this word it is actually correct. That's because before the university i only studied niqqud in the semi-legal ulpan on Lenin prospect in Moscow in 5750. At the first lesson the teacher, in his early twenties, taught us, a small group of 10 year olds, the alephbet and nequddot, but he only mentioned full tsere, not full segol. Quite unfortunately, that same teacher said that it really doesn't matter which diacritic to use, as long as the sound is correct. In Israel i studied in three different schools - one of them a Yeshiva Tikhonit -, and niqqud was mentioned only once, when the teacher in the 10th grade said that teaching it was canceled a few years earlier and that all we need to know for Bagrut is to identify the tense, the person and the binyan. A few months ago i decided to dedicate my life to changing that. And no, i don't see more than 4 errors, not counting the segol. Преступление и наказание!

In case you have, it might be good idea to cut that part from the video and to upload it to youtube.
