INTRODUCTION

 

          It has been suggested by many Basque scholars, such as Abbé Dominique Lahetjuzan, Abade Erroa and Abbé Diharce de Bidassouet, that the words and names of the Hebrew language, and those used in the Bible, were related to Basque. I found that he linguists who develop Hebrew used the first letters of Saharan/Basque words starting with VCV in their manipulations (see VCV Formula) However, they also used words starting with CV, especially in the first syllable of the new word. Hebrew is a consonantal language, just like Old Egyptian and Arabic, which means that all vowels were removed from the word. To begin my research, I chose the central pillar of Judaism, The Talmud, for examples because this document had been passed on to posterity with extreme care:

 

Tal-mud
tala - mudapen
look out - alteration
"Look out for alteration" or "Pass on unaltered"

         

          This definition makes sense because the Talmud is the summary of the Oral Law of the Jews and the only way to preserve an oral law throughout the ages is to make sure that it is passed in unaltered condition. It has the important advantage that the vowels were preserved in the memorizing process. The Talmud has two main components: the Mishnah, a book of law (halakhah), and the Gemarah, which is the commentary on the Mishnah. The Torah is the Pentateuch or law contained in the Old Testament. As the many words associated with these books have been passed on quite faithfully in the original pronunciation, I decided to make an effort to work with them first:

 

Gemara (to expand the mind).ge-ema-ara
age-ema-ara
ageri - eman - aratz
revelation - to teach - pure
"Pure teachings of the Revelation"

 

Mishna (instruction)
mi-ix.-.na
umi-ixa-ana
umiltasun - ixartu - anaitegi
humbleness - to wake up - congregation
"In humbleness waking up the congregation"

 

Torah (teaching)
.to-ora-ah,
oto-ora-aha
otoitzegin - orain - Ahalguzti
to pray to - always - Almighty
"Always pray to the Almighty"

 

          The vowel-interlocking of the VCV syllables is clearly maintained in many of these words, proving that this linguistic trick was already in common use around 600 B.C.

Conclusion

 

          Almost every Hebrew word or name appears to have a built-in hidden sentence in Basque, usually having a bearing on the original meaning. Many words have been distorted over time and can no longer be decoded with confidence, but the majority can be translated, just as was done in the examples above. There is no doubt that the Hebrew language was constructed by skilled linguists applying formulaic manipulation to the Saharan/Basque vocabulary, which must have been the language of the Hebrews as they came from Egypt ca 1,100 bce.. It is written in Genesis 11:7 "Let us confuse their language so they can no longer understand one another's speech", this was taken as a biblical command and Hebrew was the product of this "confusion". Genesis 11:9 then tells us that this linguistic work was done in Babylon. Lahetjuzan and the other early Basque scholars were right after all;

Hebrew is basically manipulated Saharan/Basque.
