Hebrew Alphabet in Pictures - - - - - - - Alef thru Dalet





1 ALEF the OX:  


known   for   being   DOCILE,  submissive, 
ready to accept control or instruction. The  
OX is known for 'submission to the YOKE'
able to bring 'a THOUSANDFOLD increase 
from a planted field.

YOKE, zeugos,  from  the  Greek zeugnumi 
(to join)  is  used  of  OXEN  but  also as  the
'balance bar'    -  the  ‘yoke’  -     holding  the
'scales  of  justice'.   When  'weighed  in  the
balances, the YOKE will reveal the weight of
'Christ' or the 'weight of bondage of  'sin and
death'.   The Hebrew word for yoke
  
l( from
the  root 
ll(  means  'to be made a fool of'.
Indeed the serpent  [Genesis 3] made a fool
of man (kind),  presenting  the  deception  to
eat from  the  'tree of knowledge',  telling the
woman,   'you  shall  be  as  gods,  knowing
good and evil'
 . 
                                                                                            
1 Timothy 5:18  
For the scripture saith, you shall not muzzle the OX that treads out the corn. 
And, the labourer is worthy of his reward.  

Education and money is not our answer, nor the world's.  Mashiach, Jesus Christ, is.  
  
1 Timothy 6:10  
For the love of money is the ROOT of all evil: 
which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, 
and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. 


Beasts - behemoth in general are known as 'mute'. As as the OX,  ALEF for us,  is also SILENCE not in 'not speaking' but 'not speaking as the world speaks, but taking thoughts captive to the Word f God -   LEARNING to be YOKED with and in SUBMISSION to God's Word.

ALEF from its root  aw-laf' means to 'learn, to teach, to utter' .  ALEF is known as MASTER of the universe, TEACHER, THOUSAND, WATERS and IMAGE and numerically JEHOVAH, ONE.  Numerically ALEF is ONE and a THOUSAND, the beginning and the last. 

Matthew 11:27-30
All things have been 
delivered to Me 
by My Father, 
and no one knows the Son except the Father.  
Nor does anyone know the Father except the Son,  
and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him. 
Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, 
and I will give you rest.  
Take My yoke upon you 
and learn from Me, 
for I am gentle 
and lowly in heart, 
and you will find rest 
for your souls.  
For My yoke is easy 
and My burden is light.”

                      Matthew 23:8                                              Revelation 1:8                   
                      But you, do not be called 'RABBI'              
I am Alpha and Omega,   
                      for One is your Teacher,                            the beginning and the ending, says the Lord,
                      THE CHRIST [MESSIAH]                           which is,  which was, and which is to come,   
                      and you are all brethren.                             the Almighty.                                                                                                           


  2 BEYT - means HOUSE

a DWELLING HABITATION, SHELTER, ABODE, a HOME containing a FAMILY.   From the root 'baw-naw' to build, establish, rebuild a 'family'.   FAMILY RELATIONSHIP is identified by 'NAME'.  JESUS is the NAME above all names.  

A man, in  'covenant RELATIONSHIP' with a woman, who produces 'offspring' is known as a FATHER. Offspring produced are known by HIS NAME.  God's 'only begotten SON JESUS', the NAME above ALL names [Philippians 2], came to take a WIFE, and to produce offspring to the 'family NAME' - the NAME of the FATHER.   
A man enters HIS WIFE to produce children.  A man enters HIS HOUSE to greet His family.  Christ, Messiah, entered 'His HOUSE' and greeted 'His FAMILY'.  He produces CHILDREN through His WIFE, the holy JERUSALEM [Revelation 21].

John 1:14  
And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us, 
(and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the 
ONLY BEGOTTEN of the FATHER) full of grace and truth.

John 3:5  
Jesus answered, 'Most asssuredly I say to you, 
unless one is born of water and the spirit, 
he can not enter the kingdom of God. 

               Matthew 6                                                         Galatians 4
               Our FATHER in heaven                                    Jerusalem above, MOTHER

               1 Peter 2:5                                                        Matthew 21
               You also, as living stones,                                It is written, MY HOUSE shall be
               are being built up                                             called a HOUSE of PRAYER
               a SPIRITUAL HOUSE,
               a holy priesthood,                                             Ephesians 2:19
               to offer up spiritual sacrifices,                           you are no longer strangers and foreigners
               acceptable to God,                                           but fellow citizens with the saints and   
               THROUGH JESUS CHRIST.                           members of the HOUSEHOLD of God, 


  
The numerical value of BEYT is 2

The churches of Revelation 2, according to BEYT  -   relationship
                                              Ephesus [to be sent]:      you have labored for MY NAME'S sake 
                                                                                      -  -but you 'left your first love.
                                  Smyrna: [martyrs / incense]:      be FAITHFUL until death
Pergamos: [Satan's throne / Balaam / immorality]:      and you hold fast to MY NAME
   Thyatira:  [great tribulation / Jezebel / adultery]:     you allow JEZEBEL - SEXUAL IMMORALITY


 3 GIMEL - the CAMEL


is called the ANGEL - MESSENGER -  of DEATH.  [2 Corinthians 3:7] The LAW is the MINISTRATION of DEATH which requires BLOOD PAYMENT.  A CAMEL, in Hebrew 'gamal' has red blood cells that release stored water when CROSSING a 'waterless' wilderness of death.  Jesus BLOOD, the WATER of His WORD[Ephesians 5:26] allows us to cross the wilderness of this world in the 'Spirit of Life in Christ'.  John the Baptist came wearing CAMEL HAIR garments - preaching REPENTANCE.  

A CAMEL LIFTS UP his rider and as the CAMEL'S sight is SET ON HIGH, so also the rider.  Our sight is to be set on GOD MOST HIGH.  GIMEL, as the 'messenger of death' - the 'law' lets us know there is  REWARD and PUNISHMENT indicating 'free will to choose'  to obey or 'pay the penalty'.    For those who recognize the penalty of the LAW, the requirement of DEATH -  BLOOD PAYMENT, IF we repent of our 'short-sightedness', Jesus Christ, Messiah, has made BLOOD PAYMENT in our behalf.    

Genesis 31:34 
Now Rachel [ewe lamb] had taken the household idols [730],
put them in the CAMEL'S  saddle, and sat on them. 


The word IDOL 'weighs out'  730 revealing 'truth or lie':

730 = Discerner  = Eyes = Sharp, Swift = The Sword = The Sickle 
= The Way of the Lord (Sof) = God Knows (Sof) = and knew the knowledge of the most High  
= which the LORD our God hath commanded = Image, Idol =  and he worshipped

                    John 12:32                                                  Romans 5:9
                     And I,                                                           Much more then            
                     if I be LIFTED UP from the earth,                having now been justified by His blood,   
                     will draw all peoples unto Myself.                we shall be saved from wrath 
                     This Jesus said ‘signifying what                  through Him.    
                     DEATH He would DIE.’

The word 'gamal' also refers to a WEANED child, weaned from the breast to solid food,
from milk to meat:

                  1Peter 2:2                                              Hebrews 5:12
                   as newborn babes,                                    For though by this time
                   desire the pure milk of the word,                 you ought to be teachers, 
                   that you may grow thereby                          you need someone to teach you again 
                                                                                       the first principles of the oracles of God;
                                                                                       and you have come  to     
                                                                                       need milk and not solid food. 

Revelation 3 churches from the point of GIMEL, REWARD and PUNISHMENT,  
whose numerical value is 3:

           Sardis:  [red ones / fleshly / carnal]:            the repentant 'clothed in white'
                                                                               the unrepentant:  name blotted out of Book
      Philadelphia [brotherly love / obedient]:           write on him the  Name of My God, 
                                                                               the New Jerusalem, 
                                                                               and my new name. 
         Laodicea: [blind / naked / lukewarm]:           overcome, 
                                                                               and I will grant to sit on my throne




 4 DALET - the  DOOR



John 10:3  To him the DOORKEEPER OPENS and
                  the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his
                  own sheep by name and leads them out.
John 10:7         Then JESUS 
said to them again,
                 'Most assuredly, I say to you,
                  I AM THE DOOR 
of the sheep...
John 10:9     I am the DOOR
by me if any man enter in,
                  he shall be saved, 
and shall go in and out,
                  and find pasture.

DALET means DOOR or GATE thru which the HUMBLE [low/ poor]  ENTER. The 'poor man' has been 'emptied out' needing to be LIFTED UP by the Gimel, the 'rich man'.  When a troop comes and empties a land, they take the spoil - the riches.  Messiah Christ came to LIFT UP the one who has been 'emptied out' - to 'lift from death to life'.

There are 'double DOORS in our lives - - LIFE and DEATH. 

          Proverbs 18:21
          DEATH and LIFE are in the power of the TONGUE:
          and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.
          Whoso finds a wife [BEYT / family relationship / Name] finds a good thing,
          and obtains favor of the LORD.

          Psalm 141:3                       James 4:10                          Philippians 2:11               
          Keep watch over the          HUMBLE yourselves in        Every TONGUE
          DOOR of my LIPS              the sight of the Lord,           should confess that
                                                     and He shall                        JESUS CHRIST is LORD.
                                                     LIFT YOU UP.

DALET is the number 4.

Revelation 4:1   Behold,  A DOOR standing OPEN in heaven ... come up here
                          and I will show you things which must take place after this.

Rabbi Y Ginsburgh:  The door to God's house allows for the humble of spirit to enter. The door itself, the dalet, is the property of humility and lowliness, as explained above. The dalet is also the initial letter of the word dirah, "dwelling place," as in the phrase "[God's] dwelling place below." Thus the full meaning of the dalet is the door through which the humble enter into the realization of God's dwelling place below.

Messiah Christ, humble, brought low, our dwelling place, the DOOR.  No one can come to the FATHER, except thru CHRIST.  [John 14:6]
