Hebrew Word Meanings TsphanYah -Zephaniah 3:9 For then will I turn to the people a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of YHWH, to serve him with one consent. Bless ~ barak Every word in the Ancient Hebrew language was related to an image of action, something that could be sensed (as observed by the five senses - seen, heard, smelled, touched or felt) and in motion. The word bless, found numerous times in English translations of the Bible, is a purely abstract word that cannot be sensed, nor is it in motion. In order to interpret this word correctly we must find its original concrete meaning. In Genesis 24:11 we read, And he made the camels “kneel down” outside the city. The phrase kneel down is the Hebrew verb ברך (B.R.K), the very same word translated as “bless.” The concrete meaning of ברך is to kneel down. The extended meaning of this word is to do or give something of value to another. YaHuWaH barak us by providing for our needs and we in turn barak YaHuWaH by giving him of ourselves as his servants.
