Mycenaean Hebrew

[semiopen]

ה מסות ה גדלת
τοὺς πειρασμοὺς τοὺς μεγάλους

Can anyone explain the double articles present in both Greek and Hebrew?

Regarding Hebrew, I think the trick is to learn the language, but maybe this will help. - https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%D7%94%D6%BE


Your verse

the great trials which thine eyes saw, the signs and those great wonders; (Deut. 29:3 JPS)

the wondrous feats that you saw with your own eyes, those prodigious signs and marvels. (Deut. 29:2 TNK)

‎הַמַּסּוֹת֙ הַגְּדֹלֹ֔ת אֲשֶׁ֥ר רָא֖וּ עֵינֶ֑יךָ הָאֹתֹ֧ת וְהַמֹּפְתִ֛ים הַגְּדֹלִ֖ים הָהֵֽם׃
(Deut. 29:2 WTT)

The last four words -

‎הָאֹתֹ֧ת - the sign(s)

‎וְהַמֹּפְתִ֛ים - and the wonders

‎הַגְּדֹלִ֖ים - the great (plural)

‎הָהֵֽם - the them/those

the initial vav (and) in "and the wonders" separates the last phrase from "the signs". Note how the 1917 JPS -

... the signs and those great wonders

is quite literal while the 1985 edition goes -

... those prodigious signs and marvels

where the last word (the them/those) now also applies to "the signs".

Similarly the noun and adjective combination which starts the sentence is tied together by the definite article appearing in both words.

Probably it's mostly a matter of taste, but it's best to closely look at two good translations in one's native language.

ה מסות ה גדלת
τοὺς πειρασμοὺς τοὺς μεγάλους

Can anyone explain the double articles present in both Greek and Hebrew?

You asked this same question before, and I answered that the adjective is in the attributive position; both in Hebrew and in Greek (and in other languages, including apparently Yiddish and some kinds of Romani) the adjective takes the article again when it comes after the noun in attributive position.

[Ethan]

the adjective takes the article again when it comes after the noun in attributive position.

In Greek and Hebrew

Deuteronomy 29:3
The great the temptations
ה מסות ה גדלת
τοὺς πειρασμοὺς τοὺς μεγάλους

Deuteronomy 29:33
Hebrew - המסות הגדלת (Double article)
Greek - τοὺς πειρασμοὺς τοὺς μεγάλους ( double article)
Spanish - las grandes pruebas (single article)
Latin - temptationes magnas (no articles)

2 Kings 18:19
Hebrew - המלך הגדול (double article)
Greek - ὁ βασιλεὺς ὁ μέγας (double article)
Spanish - el gran rey (single article)
Latin - rex magnus (no article)

ה גל הזה : ὁ κολωνός ὅδε (Gen 31:48)

[lpetrich]

I will now compare Hebrew and Greek adjective inflection. Both of them closely parallel noun inflection, and they have a lot of variations. Listed by noun case, here is a summary:

Hebrew:
Genders: masculine, feminine

• m sg, f sg, ... m pl, f pl
• Absolute ... - -ah ... -im -ot
• Construct ... - -at ... -ei -ot

The construct case of a noun means "<noun> of". Hebrew shares this feature with other Semitic languages, but it is rare outside of them. Otherwise, a noun goes into the absolute case.

Greek (Attic dialect):
Genders: masculine, feminine, neuter

• m sg, f sg, n sg ... m pl, f pl, n pl
• Nominative ... -os -ê -on ... -oi -ai -a
• Accusative ... -on -ên -on ... -ous -as -a
• Genitive ... -ou -ês -ou ... -ôn -ôn -ôn
• Dative ... -ôi -êi -ôi ... -ois -ais -ois

Greek also has a vocative case, but it is usually identical to the nominative case.

Nominative: subject, is-something case.
Accusative: direct object, with prepositions the goal of an action ("into" something)
Genitive: of-case
Dative: indirect object, to-case, with prepositions the location of an action("in" something)

Greek shares its cases and its preposition-case combinations with several other Indo-European languages.

בעלה πόση `a husband, spouse, mate'

These words are semantically identical but phonetically, slightly different, σ/ל and πόσις exist in Hebrew as בשת that interchanges with בעל e.g. איש בעל = איש בשת.

The word πόση seems to be the prefix of Ποσειδῶν (Poseidon ) and if that the case and πόση is בעלה, then Ποσειδῶν would align with בעלהים
that means "Lord of Water".

Πόσειδον
בόלειδον
בόלειδοם
בόלεיοם
בעלהים

IN Mycenaean, the deity as the title 'wa-na-ka' which is מלך (Ma-la-ka) and note that the archaic form 'wanaka' exists in Hebrew as אנא & אנה and Greek as ἄνα & ὦνα as a poetic address to god.

בעלהים מלך _ Poseidon-Wanax

He also as the title, E-ne-si-da-o-ne 'Earth Shaker' that is הגעש אדמה.

[lpetrich]

A mishmash of words that makes no sense at all. Ethan, a professional historical linguist would laugh at your sort of "research". Yes, laugh and laugh and laugh. Vague similarities are not enough, and one has to be careful about borrowings and sound correspondences and semantics -- one has to acknowledge differences.

Just to name one example, Latin "puer" means "boy", not "son".

[Ethan]

Puer - Boy
Filius - Son

A search for 'boy' in the King James and there is only ONE Result, Joel 3:3, a reading of 'ה ילד'.

Often, words beginning with י succeed an absentee ϝ , seen in the Greek word
for wine, that is οἰνός, but was ϝοἰνός, Latin retains ϝ in 'VIN' yet absent in Hebrew, 'יין

ילד
ΙΛΔ - ϜΙΛΔ - ϜΙΛΙΥΔ - ϜΙΛΙΥΣ - FILIUS

βλαστός - offspring (poetic)
