This is a segment of a much larger video production that I am working on and am looking for feedback (positive and negative) on the layout and content.
___________________
The Ancient Hebrews were nomadic agriculturalists who migrated from pasture to pasture, watering hole to watering hole. Their entire lives were spent in the wilderness and this lifestyle had a significant effect on their language.
Some Hebrew words are obviously related to this agricultural lifestyle. For example, The Hebrew word ohel is a tent. Ro'eh is a shepherd and qatsir is a harvest
Besides these obvious agricultural words, many other words, which we would not relate to agriculture, are in fact rooted in some aspect of the Nomadic culture.
For instance, the Hebrew word hhen, usually translated as grace, is related to an Oasis, a place of beauty, rest and comfort. From the word hhen come the words mahhaneh meaning "camp," often pitched at an oasis and Hhaniyt meaning "spear," which is a tent pole that doubles as a spear.
Some other words include Torah, often translated as law, but more literally means a journey. The word mitsvah, often translated as command, is the direction one is to take on the journey. Tsadiyq, often translated as righteous is the traveling on the path and Rasha, often translated as wicked means lost from the path.
