The Lord's Prayer in Hebrew אָבִינוּ שֶׁבַּשָּׁמַיִם — with transliteration and word-by-word meaning

Avinu Shebashamayim — Matthew 6:9–13

The Lord's Prayer in Hebrew, as it is said: the Hebrew with full vowel points, every word broken into syllables with the STRESSED syllable in capitals, the meaning of each word beneath it, and the English of every line. Hebrew reads right to left. Tap Listen to hear a line read slowly by a Hebrew voice.

The prayer Yeshua taught His disciples, in the Hebrew of Franz Delitzsch's New Testament.

How to read the Hebrew

Each card is one word. The Hebrew on top is fully pointed (with nikkud, the vowel marks). Under it the word is spelled out syllable by syllable in English letters, with a slash between syllables; the syllable in CAPITALS carries the stress — in Biblical Hebrew that is usually the last one. The third line is what the word means, with any attached prefix spelled out (and, the, in, to…). Read the cards from right to left, as the Hebrew goes.
