<strong>Ancient</strong> <strong>Hebrew</strong> <strong>Language</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Alphabet</strong><br />

The <strong>Ancient</strong> Hebraic underst<strong>and</strong>ing of this verse is that<br />

God is the shepherd who will teach <strong>and</strong> protect his sheep<br />

<strong>and</strong> when he calls them they come to him as his flock.<br />

<strong>Ancient</strong> <strong>Hebrew</strong> Words<br />

By examining the titles of family members through the<br />

pictographic letters that form the words, we can better<br />

underst<strong>and</strong> the Hebraic definition of these words.<br />

Father<br />

The first letter is the /al, a picture of an ox. As the ox is<br />

strong, the letter also has the meaning of strong. The<br />

second letter, /bet, is the picture of the tent or house<br />

where the family resides.<br />

: One who gives strength to the house<br />

Mother<br />

<br />

This word also begins with the letter /al, meaning<br />

"strong". The second letter is the /mah, meaning water.<br />

The two letters give us the meaning of "strong water".<br />

The <strong>Hebrew</strong>s made glue by boiling animal skins in water.<br />

As the skin broke down a sticky thick liquid formed at the<br />

surface of the water. This thick liquid was removed <strong>and</strong><br />

used as a binding agent - "strong water".<br />
