Who spoke Hebrew before 1881?
There is something I do not understand. When a person (most likely a Christian) drops in here and asks help with a review of a planned tattoo, then "everyone" behaves as if they are century-long experts. Nobody else could possibly understand the connotations correct and so on.
Now I wonder how accurate this is given that Hebrew was essentially dormant until 1881. Most of your ancestors have not learned it until the 1950s/1960s and much (I do not say all, since there are Masoretes and medical grammar) of the "science" to reconstruct it was contributed by Christian hebraists (frequently located in Germany) or German Scholars.
So shouldn't people a bit more humble when interpreting a tattoo for a person whose great grandfather may have been a Christian Hebraist?
