The term acrostic, which means the beginning of a verse, comes from the Greek άκρος (akros), which means point, and from στίχος (stichos), which can be translated as line or verse .
An acrostic is an ancient writing game or poem in which the letters of a word are written vertically one below the other
T
H
A
N
K
S
Each of these letters then forms the beginning of a new word or sentence. The given word contains the theme of the poem, for which words or sentences must be written
That's all for today
Have a great week
And we'll see each other
Next week.
Keep writing poems,
Sing, draw, play and have fun!
Acrostics are widespread in Jewish literature, starting with the Hebrew Bible
Some doubt that the Book of Esther is inspired by G-d. Nowhere is the name of G-d mentioned. In doing so, they overlook one of the most fascinating mysteries, for the name of G-d can be found in it several times, forwards and backwards. It is there, but it is hidden. The writer has deliberately chosen this method to reveal that G-d is indeed present in the story of Esther. G-d Himself is present, for it is He who controls and guides the events that take place in it, and who inspires the G-d-pleasing dispositions of the main characters, Esther and Mordechai
And when the king's decree which he shall make shall be published throughout all his empire, (for it is great,) all the wives shall give to their husbands honour, both to great and small. Est 1:20
ונשמע פתגם המלך אשר־יעשה בכל־מלכותו כי רבה היא וכל־הנשים יתנו יקר לבעליהן למגדול ועד־קטן
And Esther answered, If it seem good unto the king, let the king and Haman come this day unto the banquet that I have prepared for him. Est 5:4
ותאמר אסתר אם־על־המלך טוב יבוא המלך והמן היום אל־המשתה אשר־ עשיתי לו
Yet all this availeth me nothing, so long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king's gate. Est 5:13
וכל־זה איננו שוה לי בכל־עת אשר אני ראה את־מרדכי היהודי יושב בשער המלך
And the king arising from the banquet of wine in his wrath went into the palace garden: and Haman stood up to make request for his life to Esther the queen; for he saw that there was evil determined against him by the king. Est 7:7
והמלך קם בחמתו ממשתה היין אל־גנת הביתן והמן עמד לבקש על־נפשו מאסתר המלכה כי ראה כי־כלתה אליו הרעה מאת המלך
YHVH (יהיה) , who met Moses, says His name Himself:
hayah,
Then the king Ahasuerus answered and said unto Esther the queen, Who is he, and where is he, that durst presume in his heart to do so? Est 7:5
ויאמר המלך אחשורוש ויאמר לאסתר המלכה מי הוא זה ואי־זה הוא אשר־ מלאו לבו לעשות כן
Although G-d's name is only present in a mysterious and hidden way, He is the main actor in the drama of Esther.
