He ה they did not understand [∞]


He is pronounced hay

The he ה is drawn with a dalet ד as the commandment, then a vav returns halfway up the left side. The response is not a full response (not returning to the top) because the commandment is not understood. The Hebrews did not understand that the law was a schoolmaster [1] and the real meaning was a hidden prophecy of the death and resurrection of Jesus on the cross. [2] The response is like when sheep hear the shepherd's voice. [3] They are drawn to it, but they do not understand the words.

He means 'aha!' It is the response of recognition but not of understanding. [v 1] [v 2] [q 1] [a 1] Discussion
