For thou art an holy people unto the Lord thy God: the Lord thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth (Deut. 4:27)


The House of Israel, in the time of Deuteronomy being the Jews, received many transcendent promises of the Lord. Though they would be scattered among many nations because of their unbelief, a remnant would remain and gather to Zion. While the Latter-day Saints believe the House of Israel includes any who come unto Christ through baptism, the Jews more narrowly interpret the House of Israel to include only themselves. In this paper, however, I will not liken the scriptures about the House of Israel to any specific people, but to a language--the Hebrew language of the Jews. Indeed, the stages in history of the language--Biblical Hebrew, Mishnaic Hebrew, Medieval Hebrew, and Modern Hebrew--follow the pattern of prophecy regarding the House of Israel: the language would enjoy a period of greatness, then be scattered and taken into captivity, and left as a remnant to come forth and blossom as the rose.

Biblical Hebrew
And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing (Gen. 12:2)
And I will scatter you among the heathen, and will draw a sword after you: and your land shall be desolate, and your cities waste (Lev. 26:33)

Mishnaic Hebrew
For I am with thee, saith the Lord. to save thee: though I make a full end of all nations whither I have scattered thee, yet I will not make a full end of thee: but I will correct thee in measure, and will not leave thee altogether unpunished (Jer. 30:11)
And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled (Luke 21:24)
Yet I will leave a remnant that ye may have some that shall escape the sword among the nations, when ye shall be scattered through the countries (Ezek. 6:8)

Medieval Hebrew
Yet behold, therein shall be left a remnant that shall be brought forth . . .(Ezek. 14:22)
And it shall come to pass, that as ye were a curse among the heathen, O house of Judah, and house of Israel; so will I save you, and ye shall be a blessing: fear not, but let your hands be strong (Zech. 8:13)

Modern Hebrew
The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose (Isa. 35:1)
