The Fascinating Secret Behind Hebrew Letters

here I have cebra soil chloride I'll pour that in first this is the other one the hexamethylene diamine which I'll pour on the top of this first layer so in the 1940s the DuPont Chemical Corporation developed the first synthetic fiber to be used for clothing and they decided to call it nylon and you can probably also see some goo has been formed there we go thread of nylon where did that name come from well the corporate Legend is that the labs at the time had one branch in New York and another in London nylon nylon and that's exactly how naming things works in the English language names are random they're just arbitrary labels that are applied to objects the word nylon doesn't tell us anything meaningful about what this substance actually is but in the Hebrew language each letter of the alphabet has its own meaning and we can come up with the names for things by stacking together the right set of ideas the major premise we have as Jews is that Hashem created the world by first creating the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet and by combining letters together he created the reality of everything that we know the first letter is Olive meat audience audience meet Olive and Olive always has a connection to God that might be why it's the only letter in the alphabet that has no pronunciation it's not a vowel it's not a consonant it's completely silent and you can find that connection to God in the words that begin with olive aleph means the leader of an army ahav that's a good one that means love most of the names for God obviously are going to start with olive right Elohim arunai as well as the name for our species Adam the second letter is bet that's where the Greeks got the word for Alpha bet and it means a tent or a house you can even picture a little guy standing in there somewhere so the word for household is beyet the word for womb is Baton and really interesting if we put a bet at the beginning of any word it just becomes a preposition that means inside that thing like a house for that word so in the womb is Bay Betten and in the house is Bay bayet really cool the word for the first city in the Bible is Babel and that word also starts with two of these bad boys bet bet lamed that La Med where's my lammed I have a lot Med somewhere I promise La Med and it means royalty or something special it's the tallest letter of the alphabet Rising a head and shoulders above all the rest so it makes sense that the second letter of words like eluth and Elohim which is the word for God that means Majesty would be a lamid because there's a sense of royalty in those things so the word for Babel or Babel carries within the name itself the idea of what it is it's a royal not just a royal house but a royal set of houses fun fact that word that would just be royal house one La Med in one bet is the word Lev which means your heart special just language sometimes Man actually I'm gonna need that bet back if we have Olive and bet we have the word of which means father a connection to God in the home you know there actually is another language that works like Hebrew that tries to name things in a similar way and it's the chemical language the chemical name for nylon is C6 h11 no brackets lowercase n nice name huh it's pretty bulky but it's actually a pretty useful name because it tells us something about what the substance is and how we could recreate it the chemical language like Hebrew tries to describe reality from the inside that's why in Hebrew by the way what's the word for thing what's the word for word why is it the exact same word in the Holy tongue because when God spoke it it became the thing [Music] foreign [Music] did you know that there's a word in the very first verse of the Bible that hasn't been translated into English I'm serious Genesis 1 1 Beret sheet in the beginning bura created Elohim God but wait a minute what is that word and why hasn't it been translated at what is at well if we take a closer look at this word it's two letters we have an olive which is the first letter of the alphabet and a Tav which is the last in the beginning God created act he created the aleph that was the first creation the creation of the artifact of the alphabet so now this is a very interesting premise because it means that if we know the meaning of the out of date we can know reality if even if I didn't know the alphabet but I knew reality I knew what something meant I knew what a chair is I know what a table is I would come up with the language myself that's how specific it is that's how exact it is we already saw how those letters for gift and seeds spell the word for garden gone now if we add an olive to the beginning of this word this changes the word from garden to pelvis one more if we change the last letter to a MIM which signifies water we get God's Gift of Water a gum what do you think this work means you might have guessed it it's the word for Lake I won't say this is an exact rule for every Hebrew word but it does exist at least as a poetic ideal of the language that you should be able to look at the letters of a word and tell what it means here's a list of all 22 letters and the ideas that they represent and the ideal is that with these 22 blocks you should be able to create the right name for any concept now there's a lot more to the story of the word at because it doesn't just exist in Genesis 1 1 it actually appears over 11 000 times throughout the Bible and it's never ever translated but many Torah Scholars say that the first time that it appears in the Bible it means literally God created the alphabet and this seems like a pretty compelling Theory given that the very next thing God proceeds to do is form Reality by speaking the names of things and then he gives our species a name and then our first job is to name the other creatures I had always wondered why the Bible seems to be so obsessed with names and it may be because in the very first verse we completely ignored the meaning of a word is [Music] amazing [Music]
