: One who glues/binds the family together<br />

Brother<br />

<br />

This word also begins with /al, meaning "strong". The<br />

second letter is the /hhets, a picture of a wall. These<br />

letters give us the meaning "strong wall" or "strong<br />

barrier". The English concept of a wall is descriptive of<br />

anything with a tall vertical appearance. The <strong>Hebrew</strong><br />

concept of a wall is any barrier, no matter the<br />

construction.<br />

: One who acts as a strong barrier to protect the<br />

family<br />

Son<br />

<br />

This word begins with the /bet, meaning "tent" or the<br />

"family" which resides in it. The second letter is the<br />

/nun, the picture of a seed. The seed is a new generation<br />

of life that will grow <strong>and</strong> produce a new generation.<br />

: One who continues the family line<br />
