Hebrew Words
Talmidim: A plural Hebrew noun meaning "disciples" in its truest sense: those who leave family to study and follow the ways of their teacher [rabbi]. They study not only to learn what their teacher knows but to become the type of man their teacher is. From the Hebrew root word "limmud" meaning "instructed". Pronounced tal mee DEEM. Singular talmid.
Beit Midrash: High school; literally, "house of study," or place where the students of the Law gather to listen to the Midrash, the discourse or exposition of the Law. It is used in contradistinction to the Beit-Sefer, the primary school which children under thirteen attended to learn the Scriptures.
Lech Acharai: Come, follow me
Here's a post from 2006 that you may find helpful too:
At the conclusion of the Adventures in Revelation study, someone asked if I could post the top ten Hebrew words Jeff uses in his teachings. This didn't seem too difficult a task, seeing as how I have the privilege of hearing Jeff's lectures over... and over... and over. What proved to be the most daunting aspect of this task was the request to limit it only to ten words. After reviewing the many times Jeff interjects Hebrew terms into his lectures, I realized it wasn't worth the added stress in my life to try and make a top ten list, so I didn't. Instead, I have put together a list of Jeff's top 39 most commonly referenced Hebrew words. So, without further ado, here's Jeff's Top 39 Hebrew Lexis List. (OK, so it doesn't have quite the ring of David Letterman's Top Ten List, but it certainly will be more helpful to you in your study of Scripture.)
