It has the numeric value of 6, a number that denotes physical

completion.

Just as the physical world was completed in 6 days. A self

contained object has 6 directions.

Vav is the symbol for: Completion, redemption and transformation.

Genesis 2:7 And the LORD God formed man Mda of the dust of

the ground,

Zechariah 6:12 And speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh the

LORD of hosts, saying, Behold the man vya whose name is The

BRANCH;

Psalms 103:15 As for man, vwna his days are as grass:

Jeremiah 17:7 Blessed is the man rbg that trusteth in the

LORD,

Matthew 4:4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man

anyrwpov shall not live by bread alone,

Matthew 7:24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of

mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, aner which

built his house upon a rock:

The vav functions as our word “and” working as a conjunction

combining two words or sentences or paragraphs or chapters and

even connects books.

The absence of a vav at the beginning of a new chapter in the

torah indicates the beginning of a new era or a new subject.

The Letter VAV w w VAV

Exodus 1:1 Now these are the names of the children of Israel,

Exodus 1:1 And these are the names of the sons of Israel

The picture is that of a nail or a hook in the ancient Hebrew and

Vav literally means hook: w

Exodus 36:36 And he made thereunto four pillars of shittim wood,

and overlaid them with gold: their hooks ww were of gold; and he

cast for them four sockets of silver.

#2053 ww vav, a hook (the name of the sixth Heb. letter):--

hook.

Exodus 40:18 And Moses reared up the tabernacle, and fastened

his sockets, and set up the boards thereof, and put in the bars

thereof, and reared up his pillars. dwme

#5982 dwme `ammuwd, a column

Exodus 26:1 Moreover thou shalt make the tabernacle with ten

curtains heyry of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and

scarlet: with cherubims of cunning work shalt thou make them.

Exodus 26:3 The five curtains heyry shall be coupled together

one to another; and other five curtains heyry shall be coupled

one to another.

#3407 heyry yer-ee-aw' - sheet

The tabernacle was the habitation of God in the wilderness and

the Torah is the habitation of His Word so a Torah scroll is

patterned after the Tabernacle.

The Hebrew word for curtain, heyry, is the same word for

sheet of parchment. And the word for pillar or a post is dwme,

is the same word for a column in a Torah scroll. Each curtain of

the tabernacle was fastened by a hook and what do we find:

In every Torah scroll there are 304,805 letters in 248 columns

on roughly 50 “curtains” per scroll. There are 42 lines (6x7) in

every column of a torah scroll with the first word in every column

beginning with a word that begins with the letter vav hooking

each column of print to a sheet of parchment! There are only 5

exceptions to this out of all those columns. As you can also see

there is an odd number of letters, 304,805. The very middle

letter (152,403rd) marking the center of the Torah or the “belly”

of the Torah is in Leviticus 11:42 and it is an enlarged Vav

connecting the two halves together!

Leviticus 11:42 Whatsoever goeth upon the belly, Nwxg and

whatsoever goeth upon all four, or whatsoever hath more feet

among all creeping things that creep upon the earth, them ye

shall not eat; for they are an abomination.

The only place where an enlarged vav occurs is in the belly of the

Torah and the Hebrew word is the word for belly!

In Genesis 1:1 we find the first vav is used to connect heaven

and earth and it is found at the beginning of the 6th word:

The first vav w is at the beginning of the 6th word. The first use

of the letter vav w is used to connect heaven and earth.

Revelations 1:10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard

behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet, Saying, I am Alpha and

Omega, the first and the last:

#1. al'-fah: of Hebrew origin; the first letter of the alphabet;

figuratively, (from its use as a numeral) the first:

John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with

God, and the Word was God.

John is referring to Gen 1 here. Words are made up of letters.

The Hebrew alphabet is made up of 22 letters, from Aleph to

Tav. The term Aleph/Tav or ta is generally taken to represent

all the letters of the Hebrew alphabet so the sages interpret the

untranslated word ta in this verse to include all of that which

was created within heaven and earth.

Colossians 1:13 Who hath delivered us from the power of

darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:

In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the

forgiveness of sins: Who is the image of the invisible God, the

firstborn of every creature: For by him were all things created,

that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible,

whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers:

all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all

things, and by him all things consist.

Since the vav has also become the 22nd letter written in the Torah

and “attached” to the 6th word, ta it alludes to the creative

connection between all of the letters. Vav w , is therefore the

connecting force of God, the Divine “hook” that binds together

heaven and earth.

In Genesis 1 the 4th word is the aleph tav.

Revelations 1:12 And I turned to see the voice that spake with

me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks; And in the

midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man,

clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps

with a golden girdle.

Zechariah 12:10 And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon

the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of

supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced,

and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and

shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his

firstborn.

Numbers 25:7-13 And when Phinehas, oxnyp the son of

Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he rose up from among

the congregation, and took a javelin in his hand; And he went after

the man of Israel into the tent, and thrust both of them through,

the man of Israel, and the woman through her belly. So the plague

was stayed from the children of Israel. And those that died in the

plague were twenty and four thousand. And the LORD spake unto

Moses, saying, Phinehas, oxnyp the son of Eleazar, the son of

Aaron the priest, hath turned my wrath away from the children of

Israel, while he was zealous for my sake among them, that I

consumed not the children of Israel in my jealousy. Wherefore say,

Behold, I give unto him my covenant of peace: And he

shall have it, and his seed after him, even the covenant of an

everlasting priesthood; because he was zealous for his God, and

made an atonement for the children of Israel.

Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and

the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be

called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting

Father, The Prince of Peace.

Phineas is a type of Messiah who’s been given a covenant of Peace.

The broken vav is the brokenness of the Messiah to achieve our

deliverance! The Vav in Hebrew is the number 6 and represents

man and here is a man that is broken.

Number 25:13 And he shall have it, and his seed after him, even

the covenant of an everlasting priesthood; because he was

zealous for his God, and made an atonement for the children of

Israel.

The vav represents man and here we have a man who is broken to

bring atonement to Israel bringing in a covenant of peace and to

stop the plague of sin and death!

John 20:25 The other disciples therefore said unto him, We

have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in

his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print

of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe.

John 20:27 Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger,

and behold my hands;

hwa picture language would be Avah

Number 11:4 And the mixt multitude that was among them fell a

lusting: and the children of Israel also wept again, and said, Who

shall give us flesh to eat?

James 4:2 Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and

cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not,

6th commandment – thou shalt not kill

As far as redemption and the letter vav - Elijah’s name appears

approximately 70 times in the tanach. 5 times Elijah’s name is

spelled with the letter vav missing.

He is the missing man at the Passover Seder we are waiting for

to bring in the long awaited redemption. On the other hand

Jacob’s name is spelled 5 times with an added vav!

Elijah’s presence among the Jewish people in the time to come

will prove that God’s presence and glory will have been restored

to Israel and restores creation as it was intended to be.

Matthew 17:11 And Yeshua answered and said unto them, Elijah

truly shall first come, and restore all things.

Ezekiel 37:9 Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind,

prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord

GOD; Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon

these slain, that they may live.

5 is represented by the letter hey which speaks of the breath of

God which will reanimate the nation of Israel

Genesis 2:4 These are the generations twdlwt of the heavens

and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the

Ruth 4:18 Now these are the generations twdlwt of Pharez:

Ruth 4:21,22 And Salmon begat Boaz, and Boaz begat Obed,

And Obed begat Jesse, and Jesse begat David.

Matthew 1:1 The book of the generation of Yeshua haMashiach,

the son of David, the son of Abraham.

Leviticus 19:2 Speak unto all the congregation of the children of

Israel, and say unto them, Ye shall be holy: vdq for I the

LORD your God am holy. Vwdq

Genesis 1:22 And God blessed them, saying, rmal Be fruitful,

and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply

in the earth.

Genesis 48:19,20 And his father refused, and said, I know it,

my son, I know it: he also shall become a people, and he also shall

be great: but truly his younger brother shall be greater than he,

and his seed shall become a multitude of nations. Mywg And he

blessed them that day, saying, In thee shall Israel bless, saying,

rwmal God make thee as Ephraim and as Manasseh: and he set

Ephraim before Manasseh.

Genesis 28:12 And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on

the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the

angels of God ascending and descending on it.

John 1:51 And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you,

Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God

ascending and descending upon the Son of man.

Psalms 119:41-48 Let thy mercies come also unto me, O LORD,

even thy salvation, according to thy word. So shall I have

wherewith to answer him that reproacheth me: for I trust in

thy word. And take not the word of truth utterly out of my

mouth; for I have hoped in thy judgments. So shall I keep thy

law continually for ever and ever. And I will walk at liberty: for I

seek thy precepts. I will speak of thy testimonies also before

kings, and will not be ashamed. And I will delight myself in thy

commandments, which I have loved. My hands also will I lift up

unto thy commandments, which I have loved; and I will meditate

in thy statutes.
