If you are like me, you are anxious to get on with this treasure hunt.  Today we will wrap up our dig by looking at the first pictures or pictographs of the Hebrew letters, the Hebrew letters today, and their meanings.

First let’s see the pictographs:

Now, if you are up for it, let’s look up a word.  I am going to pull one from my files complete with pictures.  We are going to look at the word WAIT — Keep in mind, there are more than one Strong’s numbered definitions for this word, so I had to look it up in connection to the scripture I see it in.

WAIT

That particular morning when I went to Abba and asked Him what He wanted me to see, He led me to Habakkuk 2:2-3

“Write the vision
And make it plain on tablets,
That he may run who reads it.
3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time;
But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie.
Though it tarries, wait for it;
Because it will surely come,
It will not tarry.” NKJV

The word that stood out like a road sign was, “WAIT.”

I knew He wanted me to dig into it and discover the treasure.  Here is what I found.

 

I prayerfully searched out the definition and the letter meanings.  I submitted my findings to the Holy Spirit and listened for Him to lead me on how to put it together. Here is what I wrote in my notebook and then went on to illustrate it.

This is our final lesson on finding treasure in Hebrew. I hope you have discovered, as I have, that the letters that were chosen to write a word–in most cases–define the word.  While men have claimed that the Bible was written by men without any divine influence, the odds of that being true are beyond comprehension.  The Bible is God’s word and from beginning to end. Though there were 40 writers, His truth is woven through every word and it never changes.  There is no other language like it and I hope you will use these tools to discover rich treasure in His Word.
