Actually, if the words of Genesis 1 are read closely we find that no creative process takes place in the first six days except the beasts and man. Ancient Hebrews believed that Elohim had to create this first because it is all the letters of the Hebrew alephbet that form the Torah, the word of YHVH - which, according to the word of YHVH, is YHVH Himself.

Symbol continues to be only in front of Jacob's name and NOT Esau's - because the covenant blessing of the birthright given for Messiah was removed from him. Even though Esau's name is used another 78 times in the Torah the On that day Isaac calls to Esau, asking him to hunt some savory meat so that he (Isaac) may bless Esau. Symbol used in front of Esau's name is in Symbols in front of their names in the beginning of their life together - but the LAST time we see the We find that both Jacob and Esau have aleph-tav ( ) Symbol literally means " Strength of the Covenant" when used in original Hebrew text and was placed to create emphasis as a direct object pointer to the workings of YHVHĬoncerning His covenant, wherever it was placed throughout the Tanakh (the Original Writings).įor instance, in the life of Jacob and Esau captured in Which had as its letter picture an X - a symbol or sign of " Covenant".
