The Hebrew word Et : Yeshua in the first verse of the Bible.
Yeshua is the Aleph and the Tav.
The most common word in the Hebrew Bible is the word Et which is spelled Aleph , Tav. the first and last letters of the Hebrew alphabet. The word Et is used over 7,000 times in the Hebrew Bible.
Et is a grammatical marker and has no translation into the English. It is in the hebrew text but never seen in the English. It is a direct object marker. It is the root word for sign (marker).
In this verse , the word et is the root word for the word sign.
Exo 4:8 And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe thee, neither hearken to the voice of the first sign, that they will believe the voice of the latter sign.
Et means a marker which marks the direct object of the sentence. All of this might seem mundane. A simple lesson in Hebrew grammer.
But it's pictograhic meaning is interesting. The original Hebrew letters were all pictures. Aleph is the picture of an Ox signifying strength. A strong leader.

The Letter Aleph
The letter Aleph is the father of the Aleph-Bet, whose original pictograph represents an ox, strength, and leader. Its numerical value is one (and also 1,000) and it is a silent letter. Aleph therefore is preeminent in its order and alludes to the ineffable mysteries of the oneness of G-d. Indeed, the word aluph (derived from the very name of this letter) means Master or Lord.
Beit, the second letter of the alphabet , is a picture of the floor plan of a tent. Hence it's meaning house. Put together aleph and beit and you get the word for father. Where we get abba from. Pictographically father means strong leader of the house. ( as a side note here. It is difficult to get wrong doctrine when you know the original meaning of the word. Father's are supposed to be strong leaders of their house)
Another example. The hebrew word for son is ben. Take beit plus the hebrew letter Nuun. the hebrew letter nuun is the picture of a seed. So ben is seed of the house.
Another example. Aleph and lamed makes up the hebrew word El. It means G-d. Pictographically Aleph is strong leader and lamed is a shepherd's staff. Or strong leader shepherd. Which seems redundant. But it means leader of the shepherds, like king of kings. Shepherd of shepherds.
Which brings me back to et. Aleph , we know by now is strong leader or strength. But what is Tav ? The letter tav comes from a picture of a marker in the form of two sticks. In other words a cross. So strong marker. Et means strong marker. Strong marker of what ? Grammatically it marks the direct object of the verb. In other words, it answers the question of where the action is directed towards. I submit to you that the action of the Bible is all directed towards Jesus. The marker of that has the picture of a cross in it.
In this following verse , the word " token " is the same root word et. It is three letters , in this case. Aleph vav tav. The Hebrew word OHT. The meaning is marker or sign.
Gen 9:11 And I will establish My covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of the flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth.'
Gen 9:12 And G-d said: 'This is the token of the covenant which I make between Me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:
But look at it pictographically. The letter vav is a tent peg or a nail. it is also the Hebrew word for " and " because it connects two things together. It is strong leader nailed to a cross. The very Hebrew word for marker is a picture of G-d nailed to a cross.
It makes me marvel at the wisdom of G-d. Because somewhere in some yeshiva , there are rabbi's looking over the scriptures and doing word studies. they are wondering about this word et and it's root word oht. Trying to determine the hidden meaning. Because they know in everyday words , there are pictures which instruct us about the meaning. So there they are looking at the Hebrew letters which are a picture strong leader nailed to a cross. This is the word that G-d choose to use as a token or sign of his covenant of mercy after the flood.
This word Oht is used many more times. It is used when G-d spoke to Moses about a sign to show to Israel. It is used as the word for sign concerning the passover. It is used in the "shema" , the great commandment where Israel is told to bind the words of The Lord upon their hands , between their eyes and on their doorposts as a "sign" (oht).
It is also the word used for the marker that G-d placed upon Cain. A mark of mercy lest Cain be slain because of his sin.
Gen 4:15 And the LORD said unto him: 'Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold.' And the LORD set a sign for Cain, lest any finding him should smite him.
One last thing to say. Aleph and Tav is like saying the Alpha and the Omega. the first and the last. the beginning and the end. Jesus says that he is the Alpha and Omega.
Rev 22:13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the Ending, the First and the Last.
So here is a Hebrew word that is the first and the last letter of the alphabet. It means marker and it is the picture of a strong guide or leader pointing to the cross.
