Hebrew Words: Semantic Houses Built With Symbolic Stones 

Pronomial Suffixes

Hebrew words are coherently built up from the meaning of the individual letters, like semantic houses built with symbolic stones. The name of the letter Yod (dwy) signifies a hand, as displayed by God in the first verse of the Yod portion of the great alphabetic Psalm 119, which says, "Thy hands have made me and fashioned me: give me understanding, that I may learn thy commandments." Appending this hieroglyph of the hand to the root ezer (help), transforms it to ezri (yrzu), indicating the first person possessive, my help. Thus, the symbol of the hand, that part of us that holds, grips, and possesses, is also that which signifies the first person possessive, so that the meaning of the word emerges from the meaning of its letters. Form and function are united. This is utterly distinct from languages like English in which the letters do not even have an established meaning. This same logic applies to the formation of the second person possessive, which is accomplished by appending the letter Kaph (i, final form) to the end of the word as in the verse, "Happy art thou, O Israel: who is like unto thee, O people saved by the LORD, the shield of thy help (irzu, ezreka)." The letter Kaph ([k) is used because it denotes the palm of the hand, an apt symbol to convey that which is yours, as when I extend the palm of my hand to offer you a chair. God used this word in the alphabetic portion of Proverbs, in the verse corresponding to Kaph, saying, "She stretcheth out her hand ([k) to the poor; yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy." This is the genius of the Hebrew language; the grammatical function of the letters coincides with their symbolic meaning. skillfully designed and well integrated semantic system embedded in the foundation of the universe, uniquely able to bear the weight of God's creative impulse.

This connective property of Vav conveys the essential power of this letter, which ultimately manifests in the idea Man, created on the Sixth Day, as the mediator between Heaven and Earth. On a higher plain, this manifests as the Priesthood, originating in Levi, at whose birth it was said "Now this time will my husband be joined unto me, (h\w*L!y) because I have born him three sons: therefore was his name called Levi (y!w@l)." The significance of this name emerges from the meaning of each of its letters. Lamed (l), when prefixed to a word, signifies the preposition to or for, as in ??. Its name literally means a goad, or pointer. The letter Yod, as noted above, signifies the first person possessive. Thus, the name Levi (ywl) is easily analyzed as meaning l (To) - w (Connect) - y (Me), precisely as stated in the text. This then explains the purpose of the Priesthood, as it is written After the Pentecost, the Priesthood of all believers, so that Adams name transformed from the Hebrew value (45) to the Greek (46) yielding the identity: Levi (ywl) = 46 = Adam (Adam)

Grammatical Function of Aleph in the Hebrew Language

Aleph also is one of ten letters that play a special role in the grammar of the Hebrew language. Herein the true genius of the sacred tongue is displayed: the grammatical function of the letter coincides with the symbolic meaning of its name. When Aleph – symbolizing the First, the Guide, the Leader – is prefixed to a triliteral root, it transforms the verb into the first person future tense indicating the speaker’s intent to accomplish the act. Aleph encodes the essence of the phrase I will. We see this in the first verse of the alphabetic Psalm 34: “I will the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.” The word written is hkrba (ebarakah), from the root irb (barakh, to bless) prefixed with Aleph (a). This special role of Aleph, coupled with the fact that it represents the Number One, encodes God’s teaching that the effective Will must be singular, undivided. Thus we read, “a double minded man is unstable in all his ways,” and again, in the words of Jesus, “every city or house divided against itself shall not stand.” And thus we pray, “Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name.” This also yields another example of Aleph’s role; the word translated as I will walk being ilha (ehallak), from the root ilh, (halakh, to walk). Ultimately, the grammatical function of Aleph was designed to incessantly prompt the believer to submit every act of will to the sovereign Will of God, since it is impossible to even express the idea of I will in Hebrew without reference to Aleph. Every statement of I will, by its very nature, returns the sanctified mind to contemplation of Almighty God and His Will. This coheres, of course, with the explicit teaching of Scripture:
Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain: Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.
This is the everlasting wonder of God’s Word; every fundamental doctrine of the Christian Faith was embedded by God within the intrinsic structure of the Greek and Hebrew languages through Grammar, Syntax, Number, and Symbol.
The union of all these ideas reveals the character and symbolic meaning of Aleph as the natural leader of the Divine Alphabet and governor of the First Spoke of God’s Wheel. Aleph introduces us to the things of God, teaches us the His ways, conducts us along His paths, and always reminds us of the eternal nature of God our Father. Aleph represents the Will of God and symbolizes His Unity. It is He alone who is First, and in Him all things find their beginning as He Himself declared saying, “I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the LORD, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.”
