    The document discusses how ancient Hebrew was originally pictographic in nature and provides some examples of early Hebrew letters and their meanings.

    Some early Hebrew letters represented objects like an ox (alef) or hand (yod), while others represented ideas like leader (alef) or shepherd's staff (lamed).

    The Hebrew word for 'religion', 'dat', translates literally to 'the door to the cross'.

    Hebrew Word

    Pictures.

    What are they?


    Ancient Hebrew, like Egyptian
    hieroglyphs, was originally a
    pictographic language. Pictures
    symbolized words, and later sounds.
    Yod = Chet = Vav = Dalet = Bet = Alef =
    Hand Fence Nail Door Home Ox

    Tav = Shin = Resh= Ayin = Mem = Lamed =


    Cross Teeth Head of Eye, See Water Tongue
    a Man
    Let’s learn some of the secrets God has
    placed in the Hebrew language for us.
    EL – As in Elohim, EL Shaddai
    “God” written in stone.
    EL = Alef + Lamed

    Alef = Ox, Leader, First, Strong

    Lamed = Shepherd Staff, Tongue,


    Controller

    EL – God is the Strong Leader, the


    First Leader, the First Tongue

    In Hebrew, we read from right to left.


    In English, we read from left to right.
    Important Reminder

    • Hebrew word pictures


    do not replace, define
    or limit scripture.
    • They illustrate scripture.
    • The word pictures are
    valid only when they
    agree with Scripture.
    Father: Strength of the ____?
    Ab (Abba) – Father, “Daddy”
    “And because you are sons, God has sent forth
    the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying
    out, ‘Abba, Father!’” Galatians 4:6

    Ab= Alef + Bet

    Alef = Ox, Leader, First, Strong

    Bet = House

    Father is the Strength of the House, the


    Leader of the House.
    What is “religion” in Hebrew?
    Dat – Religion Before Christ , Tav
    looked like a CROSS.
    Dat = Dalet + Tav

    Dalet = Door, Entrance FROM:

    Tav = The Cross, Sign (of Covenant) TO:


    IN HEBREW:
    Religion is the Door to the Cross! After the Resurrection, the
    shape of Tav was changed.

    Why do you think the shape of the


    letter Tav was changed after the
    Resurrection of Jesus Christ?
    In Hebrew, the word picture for “Religion”
    means “the Door to the Cross.”
    YHVH = Yahweh • Yahweh or YHVH = Jehovah,
    = Jehovah the Redemptive name of God

    • YHVH = Yod + Hey + Vav + Hey


    • Yod = hand
    • Hey = behold!
    • Vav = nail
    • Hey = behold!
    • The word picture tells us that the
    REDEMPTIVE name of God (Jehovah) is:
    Yod – Hey – Vav – Hey
    The Hand - BEHOLD! The Nail - BEHOLD!
    Yahweh, Jehovah,
    The Name of God
    the Redeemer is:

    The Hand.
    Behold!!!

    The Nail.
    Behold!!!
    He is
    ALTOGETHER WONDERFUL!

    Glory to God!
