hey1.gif This is Hey. It is the fifth letter in the Hebrew Alpha-bet. According to the Jewish understanding, Hey represents the divine breath, revelation, and light (the word “light” is mentioned five times on the first day of creation (Gen. 1:3-4), which is said to correspond to the letter Hey). Since the numerical value of Hey is five, this corresponds on a physical level to the five fingers, the five senses, and the five dimensions.

The meaning of Hey is ‘look, behold’ It is said to represent God’s creative power because by God’s breath was the world created. You may remember the scripture:Psa 33:6 By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.

Anyway, this is my fifth letter to learn and it is drawn this way:

  2. Hi V!
    Ed here. Looks like I’ll be switching to wordpress permenantly.
    I’m going to fix my link to your blog here, if that’s OK?
    Miss your “One Thought”!

  3. Maria… Yes I think I have taken on a massive task in trying to learn Hebrew. But the way I think about it, even if I learn 10% more than not knowing anything about it I have gained some knowledge that I didn’t have before.

    How’s that for being optomistic.

    Not like me at all really ;)
