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!
