To the editor:
In this letter, I will continue with what I have found by research concerning the ancient Hebrew pictorial alphabet. I would like to remind everyone that the Hebrew alphabet is the “Aleph to the Tau,” or the ox head to the cross.
The Aleph in pictorial Hebrew is the picture of an ox head, meaning strength and power. the Bet is the picture of a house, meaning family, house, tent and floor plan. The third letter is the Gimmel, which is the picture of the leg and foot, meaning foot, walk, gather, carry, camel, cause and movement.
The Dalet is next and is the picture of a tent door meaning door, pathway, move, hang and entry. The fifth letter is the Hey, which is the picture of a man, meaning look, behold, the, reveal, breath and man.
The sixth letter is the Vav, the picture of a nail, meaning nail, tent peg, add, hook, to secure, connect and Messiah. The seventh letter is the Zayin, which is the picture of an ancient wooden plow, meaning plow, weapon, cut off, sickle, harvest, food, feed and crown.
The eighth letter in picture Hebrew is the Chet, which is the picture of a tent wall, meaning tent wall, fence, separation, outside, inside, half and divide. The ninth letter is the Tet, which is the picture of a basket, meaning basket, snake, surround, store, contain, clay, below and womb.
The 10th letter is the Yod, which is the picture of an arm and hand, meaning arm, hand, work, thrust, deed, make, throw and worship. The Yod is the name Yah in Hebrew (Psalm 68:4). The ancient Hebrew alphabet will be continued in the next letter.
