Really? Did Moses use Ashkenazic or Sephardic pronunciation?
Come on, surely you realize that today's Hebrew is the end product (so far)
of several thousand years of change, due to both internal factors and
external influences. One of the problems that speakers of modern Hebrew have
understanding the biblical text is when they assume that phrases have the
same meaning there as they do today (although I don't think that this
permanently handicaps them, like some folks on this list do).

There is no "modern" Hebrew. We still speak the same biblical Hebrew,
only slightly adapted for everyday use.
