Traditional Hebrew Song(with instructions):
Kadosh
Many traditional Hebrewpraise and worship songs
base their lyrics on Scripture.
The song ‘Kadosh’ is basedon Revelation 4:8,
although the traditional Orthodox Siddur
has a similar tune.
Most major English translations render the word
‘kadosh’ as ‘holy’.
Hitgalut (Revelation) 4:8
8 "Holy, holy, holy,(kadosh, kadosh, kadosh) is YHWH Elohim Almighty,
Who was, and who is,and who is to come!"
However, since phonicsare so important
in Hebraic thought,
and since the term ‘holy’appears to have pagan origins, we normally prefer the original
Hebrew terms.
The translation of the word‘Kadosh’ actually means
something more like ‘set-apart’, ‘untainted’, or ‘undefiled by the world’.
Let’s learn the wordsto this song in Hebrew,
so we can sing it together in the
original pure language.
