I want to know how to do Hebrew. I quote from John Gill's commentary now and then, and he's always quoting Hebrew.

The Greek and Hebrew should come right over when you copy/paste your text. But it's a bit dodgy. :thumbsdown: Sometimes it works; sometimes it doesn't. :whistle:

On March the 22nd, Jaltus provided the following advice:

By the way, you can post Greek by doing this:

[ font=symbol ] [ /font ] without the spaces.

V = final sigma. I have not figured out how to do accents or breathing marks.

Hope this helps.

Alethia - I was actually suggesting that you should put the codes around any piece of copy/pasted Greek or Hebrew text.

Like this:

And the elements shall melt with fervent heat -
Greek: “the elements being burned, or burning, (kausoumena,) shall be dissolved.” The idea is, that the cause of their being “dissolved” shall be fire; or that there will be a conflagration extending to what are here called the “elements,” that shall produce the effects here described by the word “dissolved.”

There has been much difference of opinion in regard to the meaning of the word here rendered “elements,” (stoicheia.)

Just make sure that you have the Greek words typed out in English letters first (in this case, "kausoumena" and "stoicheia"), then add the "font" codes, and you'll find that everything works perfectly. :nerd:

Yep, that's right. :nerd:

Thus:

• sumboulion (without tags)
  
  
• sumboulion (with tags)

Unfortunately, it doesn't work for Hebrew.

Clearly, we still need some help with this!

:cool: in a :nerd: way!!

[Fortigurn]

Bah, Hebrew is still dodgy. :angry:

[Evangelion]

OK lads, check this out:

Gen 1:26 - And God said, Let us make man -
It is evident that God intends to impress the mind of man with a sense of something extraordinary in the formation of his body and soul, when he introduces the account of his creation thus; Let Us make man.

The word Adam Adam, which we translate man, is intended to designate the species of animal, as chaitho chaitho, marks the wild beasts that live in general a solitary life; behemah behemah, domestic or gregarious animals; and remes remes, all kinds of reptiles, from the largest snake to the microscopic eel.

Though the same kind of organization may be found in man as appears in the lower animals, yet there is a variety and complication in the parts, a delicacy of structure, a nice arrangement, a judicious adaptation of the different members to their great offices and functions, a dignity of mien, and a perfection of the whole, which are sought for in vain in all other creatures. See Gen_3:22.

Here you can see that I have simply used the English transliteration with font tags (resulting in Hebrew characters), followed by the English transliteration without font tags (resulting in plain Roman text.)

This is achieved by replacing [font = symbol] with [font = hebrew ] (no spaces, of course.)

Works every time.

sorry Ev that last post makes no sense to me - which bits are Hebrew? - i can't tell the difference apart from the italics....

[Evangelion]

Kesaph - this is the Hebrew by itself, without the accompanying English text:

Adam[i]

chaitho

behemah

remes

[Evangelion]

Of course, you need to ensure that your computer actually has a Hebrew font to begin with, otherwise it won't show up...

[Fortigurn]

I think that's the key - I can't see it at all.

[Kesaph]

so how do I check if I have a hebrew font??

[Evangelion]

You need the Hebrew.ttf file. Check your windows/fonts folder and see if it's there.

If not, go here:

Scroll down until you see the following words:

to get the Hebrew .ttf, click here

Click there.

Install the font.

Now you're cruising. :whistle:

[Fortigurn]

It's pretty small.

Guess that's what you get for running your monitor at 1600 x 1200 resolution.

[Evangelion]

I'm running 1600x1200 myself.

I found that the Hebrew is easier to read when you tweak the display settings to "large fonts" from "small fonts."

Actually, it makes everything easier to read...

[Fortigurn]

I prefer the fonts the size they are - everything else is fine except for that Hebrew font.

It's all geek to me :nerd:
