1. Moses was a כבד פה וכבד לשון (stutterer?), but he wrote superb Hebrew that survived to this day.***
2. Plus ça change plus c'est la même chose. Of course Hebrew "changed", yet it is still, methinks (Gilad Zuckerman notwithstanding), the same Hebrew. To wit:
בראשית ברא אלהים את השמים ואת הארץ
is still "modern" Hebrew, except that the modern speaker would have used the less lofty BA-HATXALAH for בראשית and ASAH for ברא (I am not sure how it is stated in the recently published "translation" of the Hebrew bible into mundane Hebrew.) Yet, we still don't understand what really took place at the first nanosecond of "creation".
