ALEF is the first letter with an ordinal position of ONE and assigned a numerical value of ONE. The 'form value' of ALEF reveals the intrinsic values of 2 YUD's (10 + 10) and a VAV (6) = 26. For this reason ALEF is associated with the numerical value of JEHOVAH - Y(10) H(5) V(6) H(5). In Deuteronomy God declares to Israel (his firstborn) that 'He is One' and follows this declaration in Deuteronomy 6:5 with the first commandment.Matthew, the first book of the New Testament, on spoke 18 of the Biblewheel, introduces Jesus, the One prophesied to come 'preach deliverance to the captives'. He comes speaking and teaching the wisdom of God that will deliver His people from bondage.Deuteronomy 6:4 Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD:
6:5 And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.Jesus was called Rabbi, Master - as one who taught them. The term 'Rabbi' which means 'my great one' is introduced in the first book of the New Testament and the first gospel - Matthew and then appears next starting in John, chapter 1. The root of Rabbi is found first in Genesis, book one.Mathew 23:10 …for one is your Master , even Christ .
The first time the word ALEF אלף appears in the context of 'teaching, speaking and learning' is in Job, book 18, confirming the need for ALEF, Jehovah teaching to speak.Genesis (1) 6:5 [1 11]
And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
The first chapter of the book of Job, spoke 18, also refers back to the root or Rabbi, as a type and picture of Jesus Christ:Job 15:5 For thy mouth uttereth thine iniquity, and thou choosest the tongue of the crafty.
Job 33:33 If not, hearken unto me: hold thy peace, and I shall teach thee wisdom.
Job 35: 11 Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and maketh us wiser than the fowls of heaven?
Jesus was Master, His disciples - students - learning the wisdom of God. Master derives from an ALEF Hebrew word spoken as "aw-done'" and known as the familiar term Adonai/Lord. The major usage of this term is on spoke 1/Genesis and the first usage is in Genesis 18 when Sarah receives the news that she will conceive her first child.Job 1 :3 His substance also was seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she asses, and a very great household; so that this man was the greatest of all the men of the east.The 18th Hebrew letter, TZADI, symbolizing 'the Righteous One', has an assigned value of 90. Sarah was 90 when Isaac was born.Genesis (1 ) 18:12 (30) = 13th prime = ALEF key words echad/ahava (one & love - the totality of Jehovah).
Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?Since my Master Jesus, through the Holy Spirit, is teaching me to speak, He has taught me to come to God in the act of praise. I have found it helpful to 'pray the alef-beyt'.Re: Ginsburgh: The "mate" of the alef, the Master of the Universe, is the tzadik, "the righteous one," upon whom the world stands, as is said: "The tzadik is the foundation of the world."
1 John 2:1 [65] And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:This has been a great faith enricher and has enabled me to call Scriptures to mind. ALEF's full gematria is 111:
Because the form of the letter ALEF has within it - two YUD's (as 'two hands' in the bond of covenent - even 'thanksgiving') grasping the VAV/the upright man, the light I begin to pray, Father God, I come to you in the spirit of thanksgiving, that I can walk in the light as you are in the light. I bow to the name of Jesus, the Name above all names. You are the ALPHA and omega, the beginning and the end. I endeavor to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit, one hope of your calling, one faith, one baptism, One God and Father of us all, who is above all, and through all, and in all and you have promised to keep mercy for a thousand generations. [BEYT and you have called me to Your house of prayer.… …Revelation 1:11 Saying, I am the Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia: unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea
