Meaning of Hebrew Word

What is the context?

that is beautiful please do this more

Except that the word "to touch" in Hebrew is not a number. It is לגעת laga'at, with the root NUN GIMEL AYIN. You need to invest in a serious Hebrew study and give up this weird pursuit you've undertaken. If you don't know Hebrew, you're completely ill-equipped to do what you're attempting.

SHIN MEM YOD means "my name" שמי shmi.

Read in the other direction, it doesn't have a meaning, unless you take it as a pi'el yishem (in which case, we would normally write it with two yods), meaning "he has implimented".

TAV SHIN MEM YOD read in either direction doesn't have a meaning, unless we stayed with that pi'el form -- in which case it would read yishamta, "you have implemented."

In my opinion, it's completely random.

I would agree with Jason that time would be better spent in serious study of Hebrew rather than this "weird pursuit". I too believe that the results are random.

Now back to the original question. For what it's worth, a case can be made for yod-mem-shin being the Biblical Hebrew word "yameish". It is a 3rd masculine singular imperfect hifil from the root mem-shin-shin meaning "grope" or "feel". The form occurs in Ex 10:21 with a conjunctive vav where the darkness of the plague is said to be felt.

"weird pursuit you've undertaken" Thanks guys, I really needed that.

Better men than I have pursued it with wonderfull results. There is a man sitting at the Fathers right hand who pursued it.

You're welcome. It gives me a warm feeling when the time spent looking for the correct meaning is appreciated. Strongs 3237 is almost certainly based on a textual error according to BDB.

Equidistant letter sequences (ELS) only work if the text is perfect down to the last letter. The current text is known to differ from the original text in two areas: differing spellings and various text types. Here is a good article on the issue:

Analyse this in the Hebrew if you are able:

Yet in my flesh shall I see God. Job 19:25

The breath of the Almighty hath given me life. Job 33:4

No thank you. I'll stick to my own studies.

Perhaps these "better men" actually invested what was necessary to learn to understand Hebrew before they engaged in actions like these.

shm-i is "my name" and it's important because God uses this phrase to tell us WHAT is between the two cheribum atop the ark: "My Name"(2 Chronicles 6:1-10). In Hebrew, words have more than just meanings; they represent immages as well. In Hebrew, shm-i most closely illustrates: "My Nature". It is MORE than his name, MORE than His immage; it is God's very Nature. (And we know now that Jesus IS the very Immage and Nature of God- Heb 1:3)
When God gave the command to not take His name in vain, literally, He meant not to represent His character in a false manner. It is similar to our expression of "having a good name" which is not about our name itself, but that our name represents a good character. When the Bible speaks of taking God's name to the nations, he is not talking about taking the name itself, but His character. Being a missionary, I have had to learn this the hard way!
With gratitude, I have gained insight on shm-i from the Ancient Hebrew Research Center, and the author on this particular piece, the word, shm 'shem', is Jeff Benner.

Name ~ shem
[SIZE=+1]By Jeff A. Benner[/SIZE][/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Palatino Linotype, Book Antiqua, Palatino, Georgia]When we see a name such as "King David" we see the word "King" as a title and "David" as a name. In our western mind a title describes a character trait while a name is simply an identifier. In the Hebrew language there is no such distinction between names and titles. Both words, King and David, are descriptions of character traits, King is "one who reigns" while David is "one who is loved". It is also common to identify the word "Elohiym" (God) as a title and YHWH (Yahweh, the LORD, Jehovah) as a name. What we do not realize is that both of these are character traits, YHWH meaning "the one who exists" and Elohiym is "one who has power and authority". The Hebrew word "shem" more literally means "character". When the Bible speaks of taking God's name to the nations, he is not talking about the name itself but his character. When the command to not take God's name in vain literally means not to represent his character in a false manner. It is similar to our expression of "having a good name" which is not about the name itself but the character of the one with that name.

Don’t know what I was smoking that day! I just read through this thread again – since it was revived – and I noticed that I wrote yishem. The word is yisem with sin, not shin. I was really out of it, apparently. Similarly, yisamta and not yishamta.

“jaihare” is me. I wonder if I can have those usernames merged.

Hi All, Would any of the Hebrew scholars on the forum be able to tell me the meaning of these two Hebrew words. Thanks in advance.

Shin Mem Yud Reading Yud first, right to left.

Tav Shin Men Yud. Again reading Yud first right to left.

From now on, please when writing transliterations, do so from left to right as English is read??? That will help me. OR right click on any image (or highlight the text, then right click on it) and COPY, then PASTE in your post.

IDK exactly anything lol but here's some input. Also check out this site, which has interesting backgrounds The Hebrew Letters (excerpts): Tav

yod is "tenth" or it can mean iodine, it can also be read as a vowel, sometimes taking our "y" sound



mem is the 13th letter of the aleph bet (m), but it also can mean 40th but it's symbolic meaning is chaos, blood, or mighty


shin is shin is a consonant sounding as "sh" it's meaning comes from the ancient picture looking like 2 front teeth, and symbolizes sharp, eat, two, press



yud -- the smallest letter, it means work or throw

men ??? gotta think about this.



tav symbolic meaning is mark, sign or a monument, it's the last letter in the alphabet and also means Kingdom or perhaps the power behind it

Keep studying! Any study of God's language is blessed imo.. and I appreciate the opportunity to work a little on this with you.

My Hebrew dictionary is for English readers lol so I can't look up actual words written IN Hebrew.
So I have to sound it out... and I'm a beginner mind you... so the first "word" and I can't find any word like "yameemsh" ... yameem can be seas, or long life something like that.. many things actually...

and for yamensht well nothing either... yameen is right, or political right... but nothing with the shin and tav on the ending

interesting... not enough to go on for me unfortunately

Dear Drjean,
Simply put, shim, mem, yod is pronounced shm-i, and it means: "My name".
In the original Hebrew Old Testament, 2 Chronicles 6:6 contains this word. Here is a link to go and see shm-i in the original Hebrew. The scene is during the dedication of the Solomon's temple. King Solomon is here quoting what God told his father, David. "Since the day that I brought forth my people out of the land of Egypt I chose no city among the tribes of Israel to build an house in, that my name might be there.

There are all kinds of beautiful pictures of the Trinity fromed by these hebrew letters: shm-i. They are found in the numerology of them. I can expound on that more if you like. God loves to paint pictures for us of Himself. Hebrew is so wonderful at doing this, and it's achieved not only by the sound of the words, but also by the number value of each letter. Using the number value of each word is a way that He links different important events together. Repeating number values throughout the Bible is a way He invented for us to be able to catch important overall meanings. For example, here at the dedication of His Temple, the image of the Creation is brought into the spot-light by the word, "my name": shm-i. (It's a bit lengthy to explain, so if you want it, just ask.)
God is So great!!
Now, as far as shim, mem, yod, tav go, I can't find that. It would be pronounced: shmith. Kinda like the family name, Smith. Could it be that that is what you were wondering about???
If not, LOL, could you give me the scripture at or the reason you're asking about this word. That would help to send me in the right direction.
Thanks.

I hope this has helped you.
And by the way, personally speaking, I would steer away from the any studies of Hebrew mysticism. They tend to take a person away from the pure message of the Father. Here's a great link to find outstanding information on the Hebrew language: http://www.hebrew4christians.com/Grammar/Unit_One/Aleph-Bet/Tav/tav.html
from that page you can go to the home page and look at grammer, numerology, etc.

May the Lord bless your studies my friend!

Backwards it doesn't mean anything that I know of. Could it be that you're making a mistake about which direction it's read? Knowing the context of your Hebrew word would really help.

I know unsinkable, but I was addressing what the OP asked, in the order he asked.
