A Taste of Hebrew #38 – Echad – One
I discuss in this program the Hebrew word “Echad” which is usually translated “one.” Like the previous words with regards to the Biblical Day this word helps us further understand the Biblical cycle of the day.
However, this word is somewhat problematic when it is used as a phrase “yom echad.” We discuss these probles and give lexical definitions for our words.
