1) Aleph- The Ox/Servant- Behold my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my spirit upon him, and he shall show judgment   to the Gentiles. (Matt. 12:18)

And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant: Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many. (Matt. 20:27)

2) Beit- Tabernacle- Yahshua answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. (John 2:19)

3) Gimel- Camel- Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.  For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. (Matt. 11:29-30)

4) Daleth- Door- Yahshua saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. (John 14:6)

5) Heh- To Reveal- And after six days Yahshua taketh with him Kefa, and Yaakov, and Yochanan, and leadeth them up into an high mountain apart by themselves: and he was transfigured before them.   And his raiment became shining, exceeding white as snow; so as no fuller on earth can white them.  (Mark 9:2-3)

6) Vav- Nail- Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances (the certificate of debt owed to YHWH) that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of  the way, nailing it to his cross;  (Colossians 2:14)

7) Zayin- Sword- And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a  sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.  (Revelation 1:16)

8) Chet- Fence-  And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: (Matt. 25:32)

9) Teth- Snake-   And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:  (John 3:14)

10) Yod- Hand-  Whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.  (Matt. 3:12) 

11) Kaph- Palm (hand)- Him hath YHWH exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins. (Acts 5:31)

12) Lamed- Authority-    And they were all amazed, and spake among themselves, saying, What a word is this! for with authority and power he commandeth the unclean  spirits, and they come out.  (Luke 4:36)

Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases. (Luke 9:1)

For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself; And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man. (John 5:26-27)

13) Mem- Water-   He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.  (John 7:38)

14) Nun- Fish/Life-  And Yahshua said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.  (John 6:35)

15) Samekh- Support-  Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.  For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.   Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.  (Messianics 4:14-16)

16) Ayin- Eye/Sight-   Yahshua answered and said unto them, Go and show John again those things which ye do hear and see: The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them. And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me. (Matt. 11:4-6)

17) Peh- Mouth/Speak-            Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.  And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive:  (Matt. 13:13-14)

18) Tzaddi- Fishhook-   And Yahshua said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men.  (Mark. 1:17)

19) Qoph- The Least-    And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Yahuda, art not the least among the princes of Yahuda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel..  (Matt. 2:6)

20) Resh- A Man-   For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day.  (Matt. 12:8)

21) Shin- to Consume-   Then Yahshua said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. (John 6:53)

22) Tav- To seal/covenant-  The next day Yochanan seeth Yahshua coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of YHWH, which taketh away the sin of the world. (John 1:29)

It is not my intention to try to explain away anything in the Tanakh, simply my aim is to show the spirit of YHWH, alive in the Aleph-Beit, manifested in HaMashiach Yahshua.

May the Love of Abba YHWH follow you all the days of your life.
