Yes, very interesting…
I am studying more the Hebrew Root system and Pictograph nature of the letters more than the numbers assigned to the letters.
I like this verse:
Zec 12:10 "
I will pour out on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the Spirit of grace and of supplication, so that they will look on Me whom they have pierced; and they will mourn for Him, as one mourns for an only son, and they will weep bitterly over Him like the bitter weeping over a firstborn." NASB
The Hebrew word
ME in the verse is from the Hebrew letter Alef and Tav - The first letter and last letter of the Hebrew Alphabet.
AMG The Word Study Dictionary defines it use in the below quote:
Stongs 853
את
’ēṯ: This particle points out the definite direct object in a biblical Hebrew sentence. It is usually not translatable. It is normally employed in Hebrew prose but may often be missing in Hebrew poetry. It occurs as ’eṯ, ’eṯ-, or ’ēṯ-. It may take pronominal suffixes, ’ôtı̄y, me; ’ôtkÄ, you, etc. (1 Sam 8:7). Used before mı̄y, ’eṯ mı̄y, it indicates whom. In fact, it is able to point out any kind of accusative in a sentence (cf. 1 Kings 15:23). It is used thousands of times in the Old Testament.
In Zec 12:10, what YHWH is saying (See Zec12:4) in verse ten by the word translated ME is this:
Zec 12:10 "…they will look on (Alpha and Omega, Beginning and the End, First and the Last) whom they have pierced; and they will mourn for Him, as one mourns for an only son, and they will weep bitterly over Him like the bitter weeping over a firstborn." NASB composite
Note Rev 1:8, 17, 18 and how profound this is…
There is a way to indentify the pre-incarnate Christ Jesus speaking in the OT…
The numbered letters are interesting but the letters do have meanings as well...
Aleph - Ox, Strength, Leader and
Tav - Mark, sign: covenant, signature, ID of people, places or things.
Here what the
Ancient Hebrew Lexicon says about this word:
The pictograph a is a picture of an ox. The t is a picture of two crossed sticks used to make a sign or mark.
Combined these pictures represent "an ox moving toward a mark".
When plowing a field with oxen, the plowman drives the oxen toward a distant mark in order to keep the furrow straight. A traveler arrives at his destination by following a mark. The traveling toward a mark, destination or person.
The arrival of one to the mark. A "you" is an individual who has arrived to a "me". The coming toward a mark.
A standard, or flag, with the family mark hangs as a sign. An agreement or covenant by two where a sign or mark of the agreement is made as a reminder to both parties. (eng: at - a moving at something)
Now understand what Jesus said in Mat 13:39 and elsewhere about plowing as well as the New Covenant mentioned in - Jer 31:31, Mat 26:28, Heb 8:13
Look upon the Beginning and the End, the Alef and Tav, First and the last, and in Greek translated as Alpha and Omega…
That is why I find Hebrew pictograph so amazing – it helps connect the dots…
And how does the Greek define sin? Missing the Mark! What path are we to walk - straight and narrow! What's the purpose of the New Covenent? reconciled back to God...
