Igbo Language was one of the original languages used in writing the Bible before it was translated to different other languages. Igbo Language which is the language of today Ibos in south eastern part of Nigeria was one of the ancient languages spoken in the biblical times.

"Hebrew" is a transliteration of "Ibo". That is why some scholars believe that Igbos are the lost tribe of Israel. If you know Ibo language very well and watch the movie titled "The Passion of Christ" directed by Mel Gibson and released in 2004, you will understand some parts of the film without the subtitles when you listen attentively to the Hebrew/Aramaic words spoken in the movie. Aramaic was the language of Hebrews until 132 AD to 135 AD and was believed to be the language Jesus and ancient prophets used.

I know you will be thinking in your mind "what is this guy saying". Okay, let me just mention few words or phrases you are very familiar with in the bible and their Ibo origin.

1. Genesis
This is the 1st chapter in the Hebrew and Christian Bible. It originated from The Igbo phrase "jee na isi isi" which when translated in English means "go to the very first"

There is really no big deal about Hebrew and Igbo similarities. Simply remove the consonants from some Hebrew words and what you will get is Igbo. Bethel=Be El = House of El in both languages. Use that formula for as many Hebrew words.

Lol, Genesis is Greek and not Hebrew. The Hebrew text uses the word" Bereshit" meaning "in the beginning"
