Hebrew to English

We assume the question refers to the Hebrew word pronounced "shah-BAHT" in the

Sephardic dialect of Hispanic and north African Jews, and pronounced "SHAH-boss" in

the Ashkenazic dialect of Eastern European Jews.

The word originates in the Torah, as the name of the seventh day set aside for spiritual

reflection, in commemoration of the seventh day of Creation.

The Hebrew word entered English, by Way of King James' translation commission, as "Sabbath" .

The term "ʿEberite" is an unused English synonym of "Hebrew." No one says "ʿEberite" in English. If you're going to split hairs, you should just use the Hebrew word:

The Hebrew word for Hebrew/ʿEberite is:

• Ivrí (עברי) = masculine adjective or noun
  
• Ivrít (עברית) = feminine adjective (or a noun referring to the language)
  
• Ivriyá (עבריה) feminine noun referring to an ancient Hebrew woman
  

Note: the word עברי begins with the letter Ayin, which is no longer pronounced by most Jews. If you want to pronounce it, it's a voiced pharyngeal fricative similar to the Arabic letter ع. In English, this sound is sometimes represented with an inverted apostrophe (‘) or a c-shaped inverted apostrophe (ʿ) or (c). The IPA symbol is [ʕ]. Modern Arabic dialects often use the number 3 to indicate an Ayn.

It has a sound similar to a gulp.

Rachele is the Italian equivalent of 'Rachel'. It's a feminine gender proper noun. It traces its origins back to the word 'rahel', which means 'sheep' in Hebrew.

Believe it or not, 'Eve' is one of those names that came to English from Hebrew, by way of

King James and his translation committee.

The original Hebrew pronunciation is "KHA-vah".

Ayin (עין) means "eye" in Hebrew. It is also the 16th Letter of the Hebrew alphabet (ע).

More information about the letter Ayin

Ayin is the sixteenth letter of the various Semitic alphabets, including:

• Phoenician ʿayin = ?
  
• Hebrew ʿayin = ע
  
• Aramaic ʿē = ?
  
• Ugaritic 'Ain = ?
  
• Syriac ʿē = ܥ
  
• Arabic ʿayn = ع (where it is sixteenth in abjadi order only). ﻉ comes twenty‐first in the Persian alphabet and eighteenth in the hijaʾi order of Arabic.
  

The ʿayin glyph in these various languages represents or used to represent a voiced pharyngeal fricative (/ʕ/) or a similarly articulated consonant, of which there is not even an approximate substitute sound in English. There are many possible transliterations. It sounds to English speakers like a gulp or a swallow. In Modern Hebrew, most Israelis treat it as a silent letter. In Iran it is also silent or pronounced like a glottal stop.

שִׁילֹה (pronounced SHEE-lo) is the name of an ancient Samaritan city. The meaning is lost, but possibly means "tranquil".
