Hebraic Tongue Restored: And the True Meaning of the Hebrew Words
Re-Established and Proved by Their Radical Analysis by Fabre D'Olivet

I searched the b-hebrew archives for posts on this and found only one post.
It was by David Peres referring an inquirer to this book for information on
mystical significance of Hebrew letters.

I also searched the RBL Reviews of Biblical Literature archive for reviews,
and found none.

The book has recently (July 2007) been re-issued by Hermetica.

I thought I remembered a discussion of the plausibility of the author's
analysis on this list, so I was surprised that nothing turned up in my
search. I don't want to ask that a topic that may have been thoroughly
hashed out be dredged up again; I'm happy to be directed to the archives.

But if it hasn't been discussed already, I would like to hear whether anyone
on the list has looked into this book and can say how fanciful his
derivations are.

The birth rate in the captivity was likely not much different than it
was previously...obviously, it could fluctuate one way or the other
slightly. The real fact that resolves this question is found in Genesis
15:12-16, which provides the prophetic timeline for Abram's seed (Isaac)
living in a land that is not his (Canaan first for 215 years) and then
in Egypt (another 215 years), which fulfills the 400 year prophecy of
Gen. 15 (which begins with the recognition of Isaac at his weaning as
the heir--Gen. 21:8). Isaac was five years old at that time, which was
the beginning of the 400 years of Gen. 15. While all the chronological
questions are complex, they do have answers. The statement of Paul that
there were 430 years between Abraham and the giving of the law also can
be fit into this chronology.

If you have any further questions, I have a fair amount of material that
is not germane to this list, but I can forward to you if you desire.

Ron Snider,
