Happy New Year, one and all! And a great big THANK YOU, to all you readers who have been so supportive and encouraging! It means a lot to me!

You shall name Him… וַיִּקְרָ֨א שְׁמֹ֜ו
You shall Name Him… Have you ever named something? A child, or a pet? It's an important task. Yeshua's mother, Mary, didn't have to agonize over the right name to give her child. He already had a name assigned to Him: Luke 1:26-33 Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God… Continue reading You shall name Him… וַיִּקְרָ֨א שְׁמֹ֜ו
Ohr: Revisiting LIGHT
There are many Biblical super-themes (redemption, exile, covenant, water, sacrifice), but it's the theme of light that shines the most (see what I did there?!). Light was the first visual change in creation, brought about by the words of YHWH, “Let there be light [ohr א֑וֹר]”. The immediate response to YHWH's words was the creation of light...… Continue reading Ohr: Revisiting LIGHT
Revisiting Ra’ah: The SHEPHERD
This week I tidied up an old posting on the Hebrew word for shepherd. Check it out below: RA'AH Shepherd is a prominent theme in both the the Tanakh (Old Testament) and the B'rit Chadashah (New Testament). For something a little different, check out this video called, "The Shepherd". It is not a Biblical story, per… Continue reading Revisiting Ra’ah: The SHEPHERD
Owt: Revisiting a SIGN
Life is a little bit hectic right now and it's time for me to read and follow the signs. I won't be stopping but I am adhering to a caution (slow down) sign. Actually I'm not slowing down, I'm just redirecting my efforts, with caution. I have a book review to write and two papers… Continue reading Owt: Revisiting a SIGN
Tevah: The ARK (or the floating BASKET)
ARK: tevah, feminine noun (Strong’s 8392) Root: תֵּבָה Sounds like: tey'vah This week I was intending to write about ships/boats but, while researching, it became apparent that we have to first talk about the Ark. Ask the general public what come to mind when they think of a classic Bible story about a boat and… Continue reading Tevah: The ARK (or the floating BASKET)
Khomets: VINEGAR
VINEGAR- khomets (Strong's 2558). Root: חֹמֶץ Sounds like: khoe'mets Last week we looked at salt, so this week we’re looking at vinegar because, who doesn’t love that combo? My days living in England were filled with a trip to my favourite fish and chip shop. I’d douse my chips (fries) in malt vinegar with a… Continue reading Khomets: VINEGAR
Melakh: SALT of the Earth
SALT: melakh, masculine noun (Strong’s 4417); (in Aramaic 4415-4416). Root: מלח Sounds like: meh’lakh Salt. We take it for granted. We add it to our food, our water heaters, our pools. It's used in the making of soap and pottery. It's used as an abrasive cleaning agent. It's used in the production of clothing materials… Continue reading Melakh: SALT of the Earth
Midbar: INTO the WILDERNESS
Into the Wilderness: midbar, masculine noun (Strong's 4057), from root word dabar/davar (Strong's 1697), meaning “word”. Root: מִדְבָּר Sounds like: meed'bar Last week we looked into the single phrase, “out of the garden”, which in Hebrew is the single word migan. This word is strongly connected to the word midbar, meaning meaning into the wilderness.… Continue reading Midbar: INTO the WILDERNESS
