The prophet describes how in the future, all the nations of the world will have a 'safah b'rurah' (שפה ברורה), a pure language. The Ibn Ezra, among other commentators, maintains that the pure language that Tzefaniah promises is the language of Hebrew and that in future times the world will begin to learn Hebrew, the language of Creation. Biblical Hebrew is known as Lashon Hakodesh, the holy language, and indeed it is the very dialect spoken by the Jewish nation for thousands of years, since the time of Adam and Eve. With their unique methods and approach towards revealing the secrets of the Bible, the Israel Institute of Biblical Studies will astound and amaze you with a new world of Hebrew education.
