Hebrew, the Divine language, corresponds with objective reality in a way no other language does. Note also the descent of all languages from Hebrew.
Ping.
How does this square with the Biblical parable of the Workers in the Vineyard?
Jesus was obviously trying to deal with the fact that most contemporary Jews would have found it unfair that the workers who went to the vineyard late in the day would receive the same pay as those who started at dawn. Would they not have had to have some concept of “fairness” if Christ felt a need to try and overcome it?

Thanks for posting, and for the hit.
Here we go....
“Generally, English words for which there are no Hebrew equivalents are unreal concepts detached from reality.”
That statement needs some proving.
“Generally” is the weasel word here. What’s the Hebrew equivalent for “generally”? What’s the Hebrew equivalent for “weasel”?
Fascinating that “adolescent” isn’t in the lexicon. The entire concept of adolescence is pretty modern and I wonder if it isn’t one indication of cultural decadence. Probably more later on that in another thread - no hijacking today.
Cool. There are a ton of examples (of course I’m drawing a blank...) Explicit ones like “Cherubic” in English, an exact transliteration from the Hebrew. Or babbel...of course from the famous tower of confusion (B-A-V-E-L)
Yes. We knew that the Canaanites would arrive once again to dispute as to whether they or Hebrews invented the early, pictographic language (Canaanites, also known as the Phoenicians, who once, very long ago, skedaddled in their ships northward, clinging to the coast, to a big island to prostrate themselves throughout pre-World-to-Come history to emulating previous idolatrous empires).
But the recurring arguments from the Canaanites miss the point, you know. The much earlier Hebrew in various songs sung loyally and in true detail by the various tribes for so long was much more important. Thanks to Rabbi Lapin for a great article from great meditation (focus). It shines for we few in the nations who take an appropriately humble look.

My dad use to say "fair is either the opposite of brunette or a weather report"
You can be just, you can be even handed and you can back that up with objective proof. But you can not prove that you are "fair" because the concept depends on the interpretation and feelings of the other person(s) involved.
Zeh Loh Fair = Zeh Loh Hogen
Cotton comes from the Arabic "qutun" or mixed.
The only one that is correct is tunic, although the Romans got it from another Canaanite language, Phoenician.
Amen!
Thanks for the great post.
