Nehemiah uses Hebrew word puns as evidence of a Hebrew original. I think I will highlight these puns in George Howards “Hebrew Gospel of Matthew”, and then start looking for some of my own. That should build quite a vocabulary list. The I think i’ll start back through the Hebrew Old Testament and do the same. If you want to do the same, you can build a vocabulary list quickly that will be easier to remember because they are word pun pairs. If you need any help with this project, and you are a member of this site, please leave a comment and let me know how I can help. I hope you have found this useful and a springboard to further and deeper study.<\/p>\n
There is just one more Hebrew word pun I want to leave with you which I got from Lew White’s book “Fossilized Customs” page 16 (header and footer)<\/p>\n
YahuDAH – Judah (praise YahuWAH)<\/p>\n
YahuWAH – Name of the Almighty (I always was, I always am, I always will be)<\/p>\n
