520 1 _a"In In the Beginning, Joel M. Hoffman follows and decodes the adventure that is the history of Hebrew, illuminating how the written record has survived, explaining the significance of the Dead Sea Scrolls and ancient translations, and trying to determine how the ancient language actually sounded. He places 3,000 years of developments into historical context, and shows their continuing impact on the modern world." "This history traces Hebrew's development as one of the first languages to make use of vowels. Hoffman also covers the dramatic story of the rebirth of Hebrew as a modern, spoken language." "Packed with information about language, linguistics, and history, In the Beginning is essential reading for both newcomers and scholars interested in learning more about Hebrew and about languages in general."--Jacket.
