Why is the word Aleph under the beginning of psalms 119 and the word Beth in between verses 8 and 9 etc?

The book of Psalms is actually the ancient Hebrew songbook, and Psalm 119 is an especially long song, with 176 verses. To make it easier for the temple singers to remember the lines, the psalmist designed it as an alphabetic psalm.
ALEPH is the first letter of the Hebrew Alphabet, BETH is the second....etc...
There are 22 stanzas in Ps 119, and EACH LINE of the first stanza, under the Hebrew letter Aleph, starts with the letter Aleph in Hebrew.
Each line of the second stanza starts with the second Hebrew letter Beth, and EACH LINE follows suit, and it goes on like this through the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet(8 Hebrew lines to a stanza).
The Hebrew Temple singers didn't have books to read from, they had to memorize these songs. This technique helped.

In Psalm 119, each section is labeled with a Hebrew letter to denote the beginning of that specific stanza. The Hebrew alphabet has 22 letters, with each section of the psalm corresponding to a letter. Aleph represents the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet, while Beth represents the second letter, and so on. This structure is used to create an acrostic poem in which each stanza starts with a consecutive letter of the Hebrew alphabet, serving as a mnemonic device for memorization.

What is the oldest Greek manuscript of the Gospel of Mark?
AnswerBefore 1881, translations of the New Testament were based on copies of Greek manuscripts known as the Textus Receptus (Latin for "Received Text"), or the Latin Vulgate. In the 19th and 20th centuries, older Greek manuscripts were discovered, causing Bible scholars to revise what they believe was the correct text of the New Testament. The latest revision of this Greek Text is the United Bible Societies' The Greek New Testament (published by United Bible Societies, 4th Edition abbreviated as UBS4). The UBS4 differs from the Received Text at thousands of points. Not all manuscripts contain all four gospels of the New Testament, and many are only partial or even fragmentary.One of the very earliest is Papyrus 45, which contains the gospels and Acts, is dated to around 225 CE. Slightly earlier manuscripts exist, but do not contain Mark.A very early manuscript known as 7Q5, found at Qumran among the "Dead Sea Scrolls" has been seen by some scholars as a copy of two verses from Mark 6:52-3. This would potentially be the earliest fragment of Mark's Gospel, as it would predate the destruction of the Temple in 70 CE. However other scholars have rejected the view that this fragment is from Mark, and it is no longer generally accepted. An extension of the "Dead Sea Scrolls" position is provided by Robert Eisenman, who believes that Christianity was really an evolution of the Qumran sect (The Dead Sea Scrolls and the First Christians), but once again, this is not a widely supported position. It is perhaps more likely that Mark based verses 6:52-3 on the document found at Qumran, without being a member of the community.Later, important manuscripts, that date from the mid-4th to the early 5th century, include Codex Vaticanus, Codex Aleph (Codex Sinaiticus), Codex Alexandrinus.AnswerIf you are referring to an almost entire manuscript of the Gospel of Mark, then you would go to Codex Vaticanus at around 300 AD, closely followed by Codex Sinaiticus (Aleph) dated at around 350 AD. These however, are not quite complete as they have space allocated for missing verses at the end of Mark and then continue into Luke. In fact, in the Vaticanus manuscript, the space left for the ending is the only such space left in the entire manuscript. Seven early church writers (all who pre-date the two manuscripts which omit the ending) have also directly quoted from the ending or else referred to it and so, since it is also in the great majority of manuscripts, it is rightly regarded as genuine. Further to this, both the two codices which omit the ending are notoriously unreliable manuscripts and have thousands of errors between them.It has been proposed that a fragment from Qmran, known as 7Q5 contains Mark 6:52-53. From what is known of Qmran, it would appear that this fragment pre-dates AD 70. However, the fragment is small and the identification has not been sufficient to convince most scholars.The next oldest fragment, known as the Chester Beatty Papyrus or P45 dates from the early to the middle of the third century or around 200- 250 AD. This contains parts of Mark 7, although it is considered that it originally contained all the Gospels and Acts.Codex Bezae, dated AD 450 plus would appear to be the earliest existing manuscript to contain the entire Gospel of Mark.
Is Lazarus the beggar the same one who was raised from the dead by Jesus?
No, Lazarus the beggar from the Bible is not the same person as Lazarus of Bethany who was raised from the dead by Jesus. Lazarus the beggar is a character in the parable of the rich man and Lazarus in the Gospel of Luke, while Lazarus of Bethany is the brother of Mary and Martha and was raised from the dead by Jesus in the Gospel of John.

How many psalms did aleph write?

However, scholars say that the psalms were a literary genre unknown at this time in history. They were actually written during and after the Babylonian Exile. All the psalms were written anonymously, so we do not know how many authors were involved. A:There were mainly four authors Aleph , Asap h, David and Solomon.
What verse in Hebrew bible contains entire Hebrew aleph bet?
There are no fewer than 26 verses which each contain the entire aleph-bet. Here are some examples: Exodus 16:16, Deuteronomy 4:34, Joshua 23:13, Isaiah 5:25. There are also some Psalms that are acrostics, where each line begins with a letter from the Hebrew alphabet, starting with א and ending with ת.

What does god have to do with the word?
It is a curious fact of the Book of Genesis that there is one word that literally cannot be translated. The word (in Hebrew) is spelled Aleph-Tav. In Genesis 1:1 it says "in the beginning God created (aleph-tav)the heavens and the earth." Aleph-Tav in the Hebrew is a very strange word. Translated literally, it is A-Z...the Beginning and The End. But in Hebrew, this is a different type of word, it is an active noun. Since there is no such part of grammar in the English, there is no accurate way to translate it with any "flow" such as is normally translated. But it actually could be translated as "In the beginning, God created The Beginning and The End (which) created the heavens and the earth." However, this sounds very strange, so generally the word is not translated. In my opinion, it is THE WORD. Note in the Revelation of John, in Revelation 1:11, the phrase "Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end" is used. From the Greek, Alpha-Omega translates to Aleph-Tav, or our own A-Z. Also note in St. John 1:1, "In the beginning was THE WORD..." This ONE word is Aleph-Tav; the word that is not translated in the English.
Who wrote psalms 146-150?
The psalms have traditionally been ascribed to Kings David and Solomon, and their contemporaries. In fact, some psalms have individually been ascribed to David, Solomon, Aleph or others. Psalms 146-150 do not carry a forenote in the King James Bible, ascribing them to any of these supposed authors. In fact, scholars say that the psalms are a literary genre unknown at the time attributed to David and Solomon. They say that the psalms were all written over a period of more than two hundred years, during and after the Babylonian Exile. We do not know who actually wrote any of the psalms, so we do not know who wrote Psalms 146 to 150.
When was Aleph Samach created?

What are the classifications of a set?
Sets are classified according to their cardinality: a measure of the number of elements that it contains. The cardinality of a set may be finite, aleph-null or aleph-one. Aleph-null is the number of integers (or rational numbers). Aleph-one
