Dalet Alphabetic Verses
DALETH. My soul cleaveth unto the dust: quicken thou me according to thy word.
AV Psalm 119:25
The Dust of Death
Immediately after the first sin, God declared that Adam and Eve would die,
saying "dust thou art,
and unto dust thou shalt return." This link between Death and Dust is seen in many
passages of Scripture,
most notably near the Spoke 4 KeyLink between
Isaiah 26 and Ezekiel where God
declares:
Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise.
Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbs,
and the earth shall cast out the dead.
Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee:
hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast.
Isaiah 26:19f
 The word translated
as "thy doors", דלתך (Deltikah),
is the plural of דלת (Delet, Door), the name of the Fourth Letter.
On the Inner Wheel of Isaiah, it first appears in Cell 26 in the verse above,
(26 = 42 = Spoke 4, Cycle 2).
This coheres with the distribution of the words Gate(s) and Door(s)
throughout on the Bible Wheel which is greatly maximized on Spoke 4 (cf.
The Door). The theme of Rest, Death, and the Number 4 also
manifest in the Fourth Commandment (Sabbath Rest), the Fourth Seal (Death) and in the
KeyWord דמם (Damam, Rest/Still) which God established in the Dalet
verse of the Alphabetic Psalm 37:
- AV Psalm 37.7 [Dalet]: Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him:
fret not thyself because of him who
prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.
God also used this root in Psalm 4, where we behold the
integration of a whole host of concepts based on the Number 4 and Dalet. And the whole theme
is first established in the Inner Cycle of Genesis where God records the first death in
Genesis 4.
The relation between Dalet, Door, Weakness, and Death originates in the root
דלל (dalal) meaning to hang down, to be pendulous, to swing.
It is closely related to the Tav KeyWord Talah, meaning to hang on a tree or crucify.
The idea is passivity and weakness, like the leaf of a door hanging on its hinges as revealed in
Proverbs 26.14: "As the door turneth upon his hinges, so doth the slothful
upon his bed" (cf. Four Weak and Beggarly Elements). This forms the
basis of the link between Spoek 4 and Spoke 22 based on the Death of Christ (crucifixion, hanging
on the Cross) and manifests in a near KeyLink between Psalms 22 & 44 and the first Dalet
verse of Psalm 119 based on the set (cleaveth, dust) [Verify].
The Number Four represents both an enclosure (four walls)
and expansion (four directions of the
compass) as seen in the image to the right. Both of ideas are deeply integrated with the
fourfold camp of the Book of Numbers (cf.
The Cross in the Wilderness). These dual (polar opposite) concepts are
really just different manifestations of the geometry of the Number 4
(cf. Borders). They are closely related to
the geometric concept of dual tessalations  of the plane.
Christ revealed their innate unity in John 12:24:
Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die [enclosure, grave],
it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit [expansion]. He that loveth his life shall
lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.
John 12:24
