Your Word ( דְבָרֶךָ )


Studies and devotional thoughts drawn from the original languages of Scripture


I am an aspiring student of the Biblical languages. Here, I seek to share insights drawn from the wealth of Scripture, gleaned from those studies. For now, posts will focus mainly on the Old Testament scriptures, as I am focused on learning Biblical Hebrew. May the Word of God today be a lamp to your feet, and a light on your path.

Displaying Hebrew in Gemini Clients


All Hebrew text in this gemlog should be UTF-8 encoded, which is supported by all Gemini clients according to the protocol standard. However, various clients do a better or worse job of displaying Hebrew, depending mainly on what font is being used, and the system used for displaying the font. Some fonts do not display the Hebrew characters at all, or sometimes the program will display them from left to right rather than the correct right to left.


If this proves to be an issue for you, one solution might be to choose a client which allows you to choose any font, and then install and select the Noto font system.

Hebrew Pronunciation


By popular request, I have been trying to include English transliterations of the Hebrew words, at least for single-word references in the main body of the post. In some of my earlier posts, I used a modified version of Mansoor's transliteration system. Starting in August 2023, I have begun using the transliterations given in BHRG §4.1 and §5.1.
