This section will be devoted to Scriptural words and their meaning. We will not only establish the etymological roots of these words, but we will reveal how many English words are actually Hebrew words. Everything and anything you might want to know about the Hebrew language will be discussed and presented in this section.E-mail us if you want to know what a particular word is and we will be happy to post it here for all to read. If you are interested in it, maybe many others are, too.
ENOCHThe son of Jared in the KJV is called Enoch. This is a very interesting transliteration. I would suggest a very poor transliteration. The Hebrew name here is Chanok This word is from the root chanak, and means to train, teach or dedicate to establish a habit. This same word is where we get the festival of Chanukkah. It is also found in the oft quoted Mishlei 22:6: "Train up (chanak) a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it."
Shalom Alecheim!
