Hebrew alphabet

If you are learning foreign language, you first need to know the alphabet, otherwise you will not be able to work with a dictionary. And working with a dictionary takes the longest time in learning a language.

There are no capital letters in Hebrew,
but some letters have variant
spellings at the end of a word (final):
ך ם ן ף ץ

This verse has all the letters of Hebrew, including all the final

לָכֵן חַכּוּ ־ לִי נְאֻם ־ יְהוָה לְיוֹם קוּמִי לְעַד כִּי מִשְׁפָּטִי לֶאֱסֹף גּוֹיִם לְקָבְצִי מַמְלָכוֹת לִשְׁפֹּךְ עֲלֵיהֶם זַעְמִי כֹּל חֲרוֹן אַפִּי כִּי בְּאֵשׁ קִנְאָתִי תֵּאָכֵל כָּל ־ הָאָֽרֶץ ׃

Therefore wait for me,”
declares the Lord,
“for the day I will stand up to testify.[a]
I have decided to assemble the nations,
to gather the kingdoms
and to pour out my wrath on them—
all my fierce anger.
The whole world will be consumed
by the fire of my jealous anger.

Zephaniah 3:8
