Hebrew Language Phrase from Samuel

[ctjacobs]

The “little signs” are the vowel marking system, niqqud, for Hebrew. Guess what, pick up a copy of an Israeli newspaper and you won’t find use of niqqud.

Of course, Samuel wouldn’t have written either version because the form of the Hebrew letters was different than the form of the letters used now.

While classical hebrew is readable without niqqud for modern hebrew without niqqud it is advisable to throw some extra consonants in. ktiv male
