Hebrew is an amazing language. It resembles hieroglyphics more than it does English, in the sense that each Hebrew letter is full of meaning and symbolism. In English an “a” is an “a” and nothing more. Yet in Hebrew each letter is assigned a number and a word picture based upon ancient scripts. A Hebrew word can be better understood by examining each letter used and comparing how these correspond and relate to each other. For example, there’s nothing special about the English word “dog.” But in Hebrew, a dog is “kelev.” This Hebrew term for dog communicates depth and definition as to what a “kelev” really is. Kelev is a compound word made from two basic Hebrew terms. “Ke” in Hebrew means “as or like.” While “lev” is the Hebrew word for “heart.” Kelev is a Hebrew word picture showing that a dog is “like the heart” of man. Or a dog is a man’s best friend. Wow! (Or is it bow wow?) Photo credit: hebrewworld/Hebrewdog.html
