This landmark dictionary proves that English words can be traced back to the universal, original language, Biblical Hebrew. "Genesis II" supports a 'Mother Tongue' thesis, and the Bible also claims that Adam named the animals. This may seem difficult to accept, but then why do the translations of the following animals' names: Skunk, Gopher, Giraffe and Horse actually have corresponding meanings in Biblical Hebrew, such as: Stinker, Digger, Neck and Plower! The book features overwhelming data suggesting that the roots of all human words are universal, and that words have related synonyms and antonyms that must have been intelligently designed (perhaps by the designer of life himself!) The current hypothesis that language evolved from grunting ape-men may seem like the flat earth theory after reading this book. The 22,000 English-Hebrew links provide surprising evidence, and open new worlds of understanding, once we consider that all of these similar words could not be coincidences.

THE WORD is a unique reference text that traces most English words back to their ultimate origin in Biblical Hebrew. More than ten years of original research reveals a bold new vision of the superbly engineered dynamics of human language.
Isaac Elchanan Mozeson taught English at Yeshiva University, where he received his B.A., and attended N.Y.U. where he did his Doctoral studies. He has authored books on language, including a dictionary of English Slang (Putnam), Poetry, Biblical & Modern Jewish History, and is on the staff of Kirkus Review. He now lives in German Colony, Jerusalem.
With members of his global Edenics team, he finished an ebook in 8/2012 with over 1000 entries of German-from-Edenic (Pre-Hebrew, as documented in Earth's oldest literature, the Hebrew Bible). Germanic cognates provided in Yiddish, and soon, in Dutch and Swedish.The new project is Native American languages linked to their origin in Edenic: Old Words in the New World.
