TMYK - Yod
Yod
The first stroke is conceptually an infinitesimally small dot. That is difficult to draw and even harder to see, so the yod is used to represent it. It is the same as the tenth letter of the alphabet. To the Greeks it is the iota. In English we call it a jot. Jesus said that the tiniest part of the law would not disappear before it was all fulfilled.[1]
As a metaphor, the yod represents: the first idea that God had to create, the first void in himself that he made in which to put his creation, the creation itself, the creator, or if two yods are used, as two parts of the whole. As a prefix, it is pronounced yah and is one of the names of God.
The meaning of the name of the letter yod יד is hand. Just as the metaphor of the letter yod can represent the works of God (all of his creation), so the meaning of the name hand also represents the works of God.
The formation of every letter starts by drawing a yod. We say that everything God intended to create, comes from the yod, since it forms the letters which form the words of creation.
The ideas here are still held by rabbis, even though they cannot solve the puzzle. Cabalists[2] will assign meaning to them, but their meanings very quickly prove to be unreliable.
The beginning and the end
"The days of me" is the Hebrew word imi ימי where God, represented by the yod, is the beginning and the end of days.
"Possession' is Yishay ושו where God, represented by the yod, is the beginning and the end of possession. [3]
"He shall live" is Yichi' יחי where God, represented by the yod, is the beginning and the end of his life. [4]
"Beauty" is yophiy יפי where God, represented by the yod, is the beginning and the end of beauty. [5] [6]
