More Desirable Than Great Riches: : A Book of Hebrew Personal Names - Paperback

by Zebulon Ben Lewi Hedeqyah (Author)

A compendium of (nearly) all Hebraic names contained in the Tanakh/Bible, complete with Paleo and Classical Hebrew rendering and definitions. "In this dispensation that we currently reside in, it is quite easy to take the position that a "name" is nothing more than that: a name. The modern Euro-Gentile practice of naming one's children based on auditory value has become somewhat ubiquitous and has permeated the so-called African American community. As a people who come from cultures that placed vital importance on naming children for reasons beyond "how nice it sounds", it is critical that we return to this older model." (Excerpt, page 3)
