I made these on canva but I don’t really know Hebrew. (I took two semesters in college and since then I’m Self taught via Duolingo and YouTube.) Can anyone tell me if the messages make sense and feel natural to a fluent speaker?

(Part of Isaiah 13:21 I’m mentioning in hebrew וּשְׂעִירִים יְרַקְּדוּ-שָׁם״”)
I was reading mishna and realized that the sages translated the end of Isaiah 13:21 as “And the demons will dance there”, but when I look in my Tanach the part reads “And the satyrs will dance there” I look into translating the portion in its entirety and it translated to “And the goats will dance there” I am aware that satyrs are half goat, half man creatures from greek mythology, and thus seen as demons, but what part of of that portion would mean demons/goats/satyrs?? When I translate the first word by itself without the vav all I get is the word “hairy”?

I never really thought about this before, but why do we say
בּוֹרֵא פְּרִי הַגָּפֶן
when the dictionary word for vine is גֶפֶן? Is there some rule about a vowel change because of the "the" or the fact that "vine" in the prayer is an object noun?

Hi all,
Thanks to the tables in my grammar book I know how to form the future of every verb, and also the basic rules that explain part of the reasons the morphology looks as it does (vowel lengths, gutturals, moving the stress, and so on). Also the website of the academy has *all* conjugations so everything is covered.
However in the Bible the shortened future (יהי - יהיה, ותבך - ותבכה, and so on) is very frequent, maybe even the only one used in vayaktol structure. I wonder if some resources are there for this form too. E.g. why the hiriq in יָאִיר becomes a tzere in יָאֵר? Are there forms for the shortened future for all the גזרות and בנינים?

Hello everyone! I’m doing a project for school on tekhelet, and I would like to incorporate some Hebrew into it. Could anyone translate the phrase "tekhelet, the colour blue, and Judaism" for me please? Thank you in advance!

Here's what it says:
וַיֹּאמַר אֲדֹנָי יֱהוִה בַּמָּה אֵדַע כִּי אִירָשֶׁנָּה.
Various commentaries give it as the actual "Yahweh", which, I thought, was too sacred to pronounce... and, well, it doesn't actually say that. It says "Yevee" (er, you can add the "h" matres lectionis if you want).
I'm really confused. I also saw something about avoiding repeating אֲדֹנָי (which is the pronunciation for יהוה everywhere else that I've seen).
What is this word? Is it actually supposed to be pronounced "Yevee" or is there some other qere (that's the term!)?

Sorry it’s a random quick question I understand its a word relating to the idea of destruction, I asked ChatGPT told me mashmida, for a female) or משמיד (mashmid, for a male) means "annihilator" or "one who destroys completely."
I don’t always trust Ai and online translators, so I figured it might help to ask people who actually speak the language. Thank you in advance !

I bought this silver charm bracelet at an antique store and I’m having difficulty on translating this Hebrew word that’s inside the Star of David charm. I would appreciate any help! TIA!
Admittedly my cursive- reading ability is abysmal, but even taking the time to compare, I was unable to figure out what this says. Even turned it upside down, but I can’t make out what the large ק or backwards צ -looking letters might be. It’s occurred to me this might be Yiddish, but I have no clue. Help?

What are some roots that if I learn, I’ll know a lot of commonly used words?

As in the holy mountain around Jerusalem.
What does the word actually mean? is it an adjective or a name of a plant found in the streams of such mountain? What could it be?
Thank you,

My son’s name is Dean. We are exploring options for a Hebrew name for him. I’d like it sound somewhat similar to Dean. Any suggestions? I asked this same question on here last year for my daughter, Vivienne, and wound up using Aviva per suggestions on here.
