Primary metaphor
The hei ה represents the spoken work of God which is heard but not understood. It is the same as 'the blind' since 'seeing' is a metaphor for understanding. The sheep hear but do not understand. [1]
The first hei is in Elohim אלהים
Elohim is translated as 'God'. One of the embedded meanings is 'God el אל separated from his people im ים [2] by their blindness ה'. His people do not understand him. His sheep hear his voice but don't understand the words which are taught.
Hei as the
- Ge 1:1 ¶ In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
Hei is used as a prefix meaning 'the' but it still retains it's meaning as hearing but notunderstanding or blind.
' The heavens את השמים and the earth ' את הארץ can be read as ' all that is את blind ה in heaven and all that is את blind ה in earth .
The primary teaching of the Bible is so that we can know God.
