The Hebrew alphabet, the letters used to write the Bible, look funny to us.[1] And they are read and written right to left. The first letter of the Bible [2] , bet ב which is the title of the Bible has the same sound as our 'B'. When God made the alphabet of the Bible, called the Hebrew alphabet, he gave each of the letters a meaning. the bet ב means 'a revelation to man'. He also gave each letter a name. The name of the letter 'bet' is 'bet' I have been calling it by it's name. The name of the letter is a word, just like our names. Do you know someone named 'Sandy'? Do you think they spend time at the beach? Do you know someone named 'Rusty', 'Dusty', Windy', 'Heather', 'Iris'? Their names mean something. But I don't know anyone named 'Peanut Butter Sandwich'. |

The letters of the Hebrew alphabet all have names. The name 'bet' means 'house', or 'daughter'. Do you know the name of a town starting with 'bet'? Think of Christmas...Oh, little town of Beth... Bethlechem is the 'house of lechem'. 'Lechem' is bread. Jesus was born in the house of bread. Do you remember when Jesus said that he was the bread? [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] God calls the Bible "The revelation to man" ב. It could be called the House of God, since it includes the story of everyone who is in the family of God. Since it includes the story of all those who are in his family, it might also be called "the Book of Life". |

What is a revelation? It might be the answer to a secret, or the answer to a mystery. A secret is something that you are not supposed to know yet. A mystery is a secret when you are given clues to tease you that you don't know. A secret is something hidden, and a mystery is like a game of hide and seek. So a mystery is a special kind of secret. Right from the beginning God started writing a mystery book. |
