The full study is now on line covering
the Alef - Beyt in detail @hebrew on Steemit.com
. The vowels are marked in this bible and are designed to help avoid confusion on what a word is and how it is pronounced, as if there is not already enough of that in the interpretations globally. In modern spoken Hebrew, only children need the niqqud until they have the pronunciation memorized.
This is a very late start to my Shabbat reading because I still have a sore throat and congestion. The King has been gracious to me today, and I was able to record a reading in only two takes.
Some update caused DTube to fail to transition from video upload to IPFS - video plays after drag-n-drop and the snap gets there. Do all the work and find that the video never uploaded. Trying via Andriod. Second and third tries from phone. Invalid permalink? I just want to teach my Hebrew class :/
Last reading we left off with creation, the end of day one.
Today's video covers day two. Note that we see the word Aleph-Shin-Resh (asher) a couple of times. It can means "that" and "which" as we read. It can also have other interpretations, that which, it that, he who, she who, etc. we will see them as we read on but these only help us to understand how we would say the phrase in English. The best path to understanding is to move from interpreting to understanding each word in Hebrew.
As we saw when we studied Tav, I had mentioned the word Alef Tav et in Hebrew. There is no interpretation for it in English. There is in Spanish. It is part of the language letting us know what is coming next. When you see et note that the next word will be the person, place or thing that was impacted by the previous action.

Another note:
In this reading the Almighty took the first ha'shamayim, the one he created just before ha'erets, in the first sentence of the book. He separated them the waters above from those below and gave each massive body of water a name.
