Aleph - teach

Aleph - teach

The name of the aleph א contains a lamed ל, which has the meaning of 'teaching'. This gets reflected several ways as the use of notarikon divides the word:

• א-ל-ף God created א and taught ל the fulfillment of all prophecies/mysteries ף

∞ א-ל-ף His name Elohim means 'God אל separated from his people ים by ignorance ה. It should be no surprise that he immediately began teaching them. But since he cannot be seen nor heard, he placed his teaching in 'the mystery hidden from the beginning'.

• א-לף - The holy א teaching mouth לפ

∞ א-לף Aaron is portrayed as the mouth of Moses as a shadow of Christ being the mouthpiece of God.

• א(ל)ף - a face, anger, nostril אף for teaching ל

∞ א(ל)ף God is often portrayed as an angry God who capriciously takes offense at every misstep people take. The name of the aleph sheds a softer light on him. The purpose of his anger is to teach us.

Eph 3:9 And to make all [men] see what [is] the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:

Ex 4:16 And he shall be thy spokesman unto the people: and he shall be, [even] he shall be to thee instead of a mouth, and thou shalt be to him instead of God.

Joh 8:26 I have many things to say and to judge of you: but he that sent me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I have heard of him.
