Discussion

The chet is drawn like a he ה but the vav on the left returns all the way to the top. This represents that the commandment was understood. The meaning of chet is 'dismay', because when you really understand God's command, you are dismayed. [v 1] [q 1] [a 1] [q 2] [a 2] [1] Dismay is terror. When people met the Holy God they fell on their faces. [s 1] [s 2] [s 3] [s 4]

  1. ↑ It is not being suggested that the Gospel of Thomas is scripture, only that the author was familiar with pneumnemonics.

Discussion

Questions

  1. ↑ Why does understanding the commandment cause dismay?
  2. ↑ The Gospel of Thomas (2) says, ... The one who seeks should not cease seeking until he finds. And when he finds, he will be dismayed... Could the chet be the source of Thomas's riddle?

Vocabulary

  1. ↑ chet ח or חת - dismay, m. understood, seeing

Answers

  1. ↑ The holiness of the law confronts your sin.
  2. ↑ It is a good exercise to read the Gospel of Thomas in the genre of prophetic riddle or sensus plenior, since he shares many of the same riddles which are mistakenly interpreted to be literal and so are identified as Gnostic
