Hebrew
Hebrew (; ; ) is a Northwest Semitic language of the Afroasiatic language family. Historically, it is one of the spoken languages of the Israelites and their longest-surviving descendants, the Jews and Samaritans. It was largely preserved throughout history as the main liturgical language of Judaism (since the Second Temple period) and Samaritanism. Hebrew is the only Canaanite language still spoken today, and serves as the only truly successful example of a dead language that has been revived. It is also one of only two Northwest Semitic languages still in use, with the other being Aramaic. The earliest examples of written Paleo-Hebrew date back to the 10th century BCE. Nearly all of the Hebrew Bible is written in Biblical Hebrew, with much of its present form in the dialect that scholars believe flourished around the 6th century BCE, during the time of the Babylonian captivity. For this reason, Hebrew has been referred to by Jews as '' Lashon Hakodesh'' (, ) since an ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Zohar
The ''Zohar'' ( he, , ''Zōhar'', lit. "Splendor" or "Radiance") is a foundational work in the literature of Jewish mystical thought known as Kabbalah. It is a group of books including commentary on the mystical aspects of the Torah (the five books of Moses) and scriptural interpretations as well as material on mysticism, mythical cosmogony, and mystical psychology. The ''Zohar'' contains discussions of the nature of God, the origin and structure of the universe, the nature of souls, redemption, the relationship of Ego to Darkness and "true self" to "The Light of God".

Haynes (surname)
Haynes is a surname. Etymology According to the ''Oxford Dictionary of Family Names in Britain and Ireland'', the modern names ''Haine'', ''Hayne'', ''Haines'', ''Hains'', ''Hanes'', and ''Haynes'' all originate in four different medieval names, which came to sound the same. # The Middle English name ''Hain''. This is thought to have originated as a pet form of Anglo-Norman names such as ''Reynald'', ''Reyner'' and ''Rainbert''. # The personal name Hagan, which is itself of diverse origins. # The Old English word ''haga'' ('enclosure', Middle English ''hay''), in the oblique case form ''hagan'' (Middle English ''hayne''), whose use could have arisen from a locative epithet such as ''æt hagan'' ('at the enclosure'). The forms ending in ''-s'' show the addition of the genitive case ending, implying that the name-bearer was the child of a father called ''Hain'', or addition of ''-s'' on the analogy of such named.
