Why are so many people speaking in broken Heblish these days?
It's time to UNLEARN the lies.
UNLEARN
Hey, welcome to UNLEARN.
My name is Lex, and I'd like to invite you to join us each week as we UNLEARN the lies
and dig deeper into the truth of God's Word.
Now, let's get started.
I was listening to an interview recently and the man was speaking so much broken Heblish
that I had a really hard time trying to figure out what he was even saying.
Here is an example of what I call broken Heblish:
"The Barit ha'dashay was spoken about by Yirame-yahoo when he said, "Hinineh the days come said
Yah-wah, that I will make with beit Yashar-al and with beit Yahoodo, a barit ha'dashay.
Not according to the barit that I made with a'bow-tam in the day I took them by the hand
to bring them out of Mitzra-am, that they broke my barit although I was ba-ali to them
says Yah-wah.
For this ha'barit that I will make with Yashar-al after those ha-yah-mim says Yah-wah, I will
put my tow-rati in their inward parts and write it in their hearts, and will be to them
alahim and they will be to me le-am."
Broken Heblish is a mixture of Hebrew or sort-of-Hebrew and English.
If you're pretty familiar with those verses in Jeremiah 31, then you might have been able
to figure out what I was saying, but most people probably felt a bit lost and confused
just then, and I would venture to say it was actually pretty difficult to even listen to.
In fact, if you know how to speak Hebrew, you were probable cringing at the way I was
pronouncing those words.
I did that on purpose because most people who speak Heblish don't actually know Hebrew.
I'm not sure why so many people in the Hebrew Roots and Messianic movement are speaking
this way.
Do they think that saying certain words in Hebrew (or Hebrew-ish) makes them sound more
intelligent?
Our desire should be to communicate the message of the Bible clearly so that others can understand
what's being said.
But, those who speak Heblish are adding confusion by using words that their audience does not
understand.
Consider what Paul said about speaking in unknown languages and the need for proper
interpretation.
"Even things without life, whether flute or harp, when they make a sound, unless they
make a distinction in the sounds, how will it be known what is piped or played?
For if the trumpet makes an uncertain sound, who will prepare himself for battle?
So likewise you, unless you utter by the tongue words easy to understand, how will it be known
what is spoken?
For you will be speaking into the air.
There are, it may be, so many kinds of languages in the world, and none of them is without
significance.
Therefore, if I do not know the meaning of the language, I shall be a foreigner to him
who speaks, and he who speaks will be a foreigner to me...
I would rather speak five words with understanding, that I may teach others also, than ten thousand
words in a tongue...
Therefore if the whole church comes together in one place, and all speak with tongues,
and there come in those who are uninformed or unbelievers, will they not say that you
are out of your mind?...
For God is not the author of confusion but of peace..."
- 1 Corinthians 14:7-11,19,23,33
Paul was talking about the need for interpretation when speaking in tongues.
We need to realize that this principle can be applied to both supernatural languages
as well as natural languages.
If I started speaking to you in German, but you didn't understand German, then my words
would be wasted and useless to you.
But, if I speak to you in a language that you do understand, then my words actually
have the potential to benefit you in some way.
I would rather speak five intelligible words, that I may teach others, than ten thousand
words in another language.
If you want to teach others, then learn how to communicate in a way that they can understand
you.
Otherwise, you're just speaking to the air.
