Reviewing the First Four Letters of the Hebrew Alphabet
The Hebrew Alphabet' s very first letter is the letter Aleph.
A picture of an Ox head is what its Ancient Paleo Hebrew pictograph resembles.
Strength, power, leader or the strength of the leader is what Aleph really means.
In my previous articles, you have leaned that every letter has a corresponding meaning.
The second letter of the alphabet is Beit.
Beit means house or tent because its ancient pictograph is o the form of a house.
It also means a floor plan or a place where a family can dwell in.
All things that have to do with a house, home, or family is connected to the letter Beit.
It may surprise you that the letter Beit is the first letter of the bible even if it is the second letter of the Hebrew Alphabet.
Beit starts in the book of Genesis.
Naturally, you would wonder why Aleph, the first letter of the Hebre Alphabet is no not the first letter of the bible.
The reason behind this is because Aleph is a silent letter.
It is like a breath or a spirit.
So when you combine the silent letter which is Aleph before Genesis 1:1 together with the very first letter of your alphabet which is Beit, what you would have is the strength of the leader of the house.
Amazingly enough, Aleph and Beit make up the Hebrew word father.
So we have the picture of our heavenly Father in only the first two letters of His language's alphabet.
The third letter of the alphabet is Gimmel.
You learned that Gimmel means camel.
It can also mean to lift up, pride, or a generous rich man.
Then the fourth letter is the letter Dalet.
Its pictograph form looks like a door.
Now, to us it would not look like a door but in Ancient Israel, it's the curtain of the tabernacle which hangs down with a pole which was the most common door that was found in Ancient Israel if you were poor.
It's an open door.
As a matter of fact when people go to a sukkoth, the first thing all the men do is get together and build a sukka.
It's lot of camaraderie, and its fun.
What we learn through the picture of the sukka is there are no sides, there are no doors, it's an open community, you are welcome in and the top is open as well because we are welcoming the Ruach, the spirit of the living God.
We want a vertical relationship and we want a horizontal relationship to fulfill the top two commandments of the Torah.
