Dalet~Bet~Resh spells " dabar" (verb) to arrange,declare,subdue, lead away,put to flight Dalet~Bet~Resh spells "deber" murrian, pestilence Dalet~Bet~Resh spells " "dober "fold, pasture The meanings of these "words" are in Mem~Bet~Dalet~Resh. "midbar " means desert, pasture,mouth,speech wilderness Bet~Resh~Dalet verb spells "barad" to hail ( of God's judgment) Bet~Resh~Dalet also spells "barod"spotted Resh~Bet~Dalet verb spells rabad to spread,scatter Resh~Dalet~Mem verb spells radam be asleep, cast dead, unconscious sleep Mem~Resh~Dalet verb spells marad to rebel,against G-d, against light, human king.I surmise that when in the "wilderness" of life, oftentimes deber "pestilence" barad "hail" storms come. These awful events can cause marad "rebellion" against G-d, Our thoughts are rabad "scattered" and we doubt G-d. Those devoid of "torah" radam "sleep" grope,stumble in the daytime as if it were night. However,we must dabar speak,command, declare decree,put to flight with the "divine" utterances of G-d. Psalm 5:9 Their is no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part is very wickedness;their throat is an open sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue. Words create or annihilate. Rabbi do you agree?

I am curious about the three Yud's in Ydiydyah 2 Samuel 12:25: Yud~Dalet~Yud~Dalet~Yud~Hei. It is rare to see a triple letter Yud in Hebrew words. Does this occurrence reveal something more?

Ayin~Shin~Yud~Resh - "a'shir" means "rich, wealthy" Shin~Ayin~Yud ~Resh " - "sa'ar" means hairy, shaggy, buck, he-goat Shin~Ayin~Yud~Resh - "Se'ir" means the "hairy"or "shaggy" patriarch of "Chorites," the inhabitants of Edom before the descendants of Esav The words: "a'shir" as rich, and "sa'ir"as he-goat, and" Se'ir" as hairy Choriy Edom Esav all share the same " letters of light." Are the "wealthy"as Esav "greedy" goats? Do riches sever the soul from sacredness? These words seem to imply that silver and gold "ensnare" one's soul. So, is having enough sufficient enough?

Please answer for me the meaning of the word Sabbath (Shabbat) in Hebrew. I have read that "Sha" means "The Eternal One," "Ab" is the root word for "Abba" or Father, and "bath" or "beth" means "house of" or "sign of," which would give the meaning of the word Sabbath as = "Sign of the Eternal Father." Is this right? And if not, please correct where it is wrong. For instance, could it be "bat" or "bet" instead of "bath"/"beth"? Thank you!

Hello, I hope you are well. I have been searching for an answer to a literary question. It's one that has various answers across the internet and I cannot find a consensus. It's regarding Steinbeck's East of Eden. In the book, he threads the idea of a word he claims has been mistranslated in Christian bibles, Timshel. He says that some scholars translate it as, "thou shalt," and others as, "do thou," but the true translation is "thou mayest." The word appears in Genesis 4:16 according to Steinbeck. Here is a link to the passage in the book, http://timshel.org/timshel.php In my research, I've had scholars tell me that he's correct, or that "thou shalt" is the correct translation, and even that the word Timshel is not a real word in Hebrew. I love the passage and the sentiment in the book and would like to know if I should love it from a historical/faith perspective or only a literary perspective. Thank you for your time
