PHB: zayin - Bride family טמםס
Pneumnemonic Hebrew for Beginners->PHB: Letter families->PHB: zayin - marriage טמםס
All of the members of the Bride Family are formed with a kof כ as the Son of God, and a zayin ז as the Bride of Christ. Since there is already A family for the kof כ, I have named this grouping after the bride. Observe two things: where the Son and bride are connected, and the shape of the corners.
Mem מ
The mem מ connects the kof כ and the zayin ז at the top. The Father arranged a marriage for the Son and chose his bride. [1] This was done in heaven before the foundation of the earth. [2] This is the promise of God, and the focus is on the promise and the Father. [3]
Mem מ means water as does the word mee מי, and the Father is represented as the 'waters above the firmament' (to the right of the yod). [4]
Mem מ or מם also means blemish. The bride, that the Father chose for the Son, was blemished, and it grieved him that it was so. [5] [v 1]
Tet ט
The tet ט connects the kof כ to the zayin ז at the bottom, signifying that the marriage was consummated on earth, with the focus on the marriage and the Son. [6] [q 1]
"Tet" טת means fasting. [v 2] [q 2] Christ took his bride on earth, but then left her. [7] As a result of the fast (no more teaching), and his resurrection, his revelation was completed in the spontaneous praise of his people ת. [q 3]
Final Mem ם and Samech ס
Both the final mem ם and the samech ס connect the kof כ and the zayin ז at the top and bottom. They both signify that the promise was fulfilled, with the focus on the fulfillment.
The final mem ם uses square corners signifying that the promise was fulfilled in the flesh. The samech ס uses rounded corners signifying that the promise was fulfilled in the spirit.
