Joseph E. Yahuda's book presents the thesis that Hebrew, particularly Biblical Hebrew, is essentially Greek in disguise, supported by numerous etymological examples linking Hebrew words to Greek roots.

The 680-page work includes a preface by Professor Saul Levin, who notes overwhelming evidence of Greek loanwords in Hebrew, though the theory remains fringe and disputed by linguists who classify Hebrew as Semitic.

It explores phonetic transformations and shared vocabulary to claim Hebrews were Asiatic Greeks.
