※Significant names, an exceptional letter
The Letter yod is the smallest of the letters in the Hebrew alphabet, something like a lower case “i”. Yod has the honor of being the first letter of hundreds of significant names in the Bible: Israel ישראל, Judah יהודה, Jerusalem ירושלים, Jesus ישוע and more. Since it is the first letter of the Lord’s name YHWH (יהוה), yod represents the divine core within each of us.
“yod”是希伯來字母表中最小的字母,類似於小寫字母”i”。Yod有幸成為聖經中數百個重要名字的第一個字母:以色列(ישראל),猶大Judahיהודה)),耶路撒冷ירושלים )),耶穌Jesus(ישוע)等等。 因為它是耶和華名字YHWH(יהוה)的第一個字母,所以yod代表了我們每個人的神聖核心。
※The Power of Ten
Yod also comes from the word “hand”, yad (יד). Why is this important? The secret lies in the number ten. Yod is the tenth letter in the Hebrew alphabet. In Genesis 5, there were ten generations from Adam to Noah, then God moved his hand to spare Noah from annihilation. Next, there were ten generations from Noah to Abraham, then God moved his hand to bring Abraham to Canaan.
Yod也來自“hand”,yad(יד)。為什麼這很重要? 秘密在於數字10。 Yod是希伯來字母表中的第十個字母。在創世紀5章中,從亞當到諾亞有十代,然後上帝移動他的手,使諾亞免於毀滅。接下來,從諾亞到亞伯拉罕有十代,然後上帝移動他的手將亞伯拉罕帶到迦南。

※Magnify your reading of the Bible
We see the hand of God at work in the number ten: ten plagues, ten commandments, ten “I am” statements in the Gospel of John. The glory of God is made visible in tens. The foundation for all of this is the meekest of the Hebrew letters: yod.
我們看到上帝的手在數字十中工作:十瘟,十誡,在約翰福音中有十個「我是」的陳述。上帝的榮耀在數個十中顯現。所有這一切的基礎是希伯來語最謙和的字母:yod。
