או

Gate‑walk for או

Base gate: או

• א — He spoke / created
• ו — distinguish / separate

The gate itself pictures a spoken word that draws a clear line—a choice, a dividing point. (Fittingly, או in Hebrew means “or.”)

---

Form	Ordinary gloss (biblical)	Letter added & its “voice”	How the picture grows
או	the choice “or”	—	The Creator’s word distinguishes two paths.
אוב	medium, familiar‑spirit	ב — reveal	A revelation sought outside the true voice: the divided heart reaches into the shadows for answers.
אוד	firebrand, burning log	ד — single‑sided command	The dividing word becomes a burning stick—judgment that still carries the possibility of rescue.
אוי	woe!	י — new creation	The moment the word exposes the gap, the soul cries woe, sensing the need for new creation.
און	strength, wealth / also vanity	נ — son of man	Distinction embodied in flesh: human power that can be true strength or empty vanity depending on the choice made at the gate.
אור	light	ר — reveal	The spoken distinction now reveals itself as light, separating darkness from day.
אות	sign, token, covenant mark	ת — completed work	The word that divided and illumined is sealed with a sign—a tangible mark of the finished covenant.

Narrative thread

1. או — A spoken line is drawn: choose this or that.
2. אוב — Seek revelation apart from God and you step into counterfeit light.
3. אוד — The dividing word can burn; yet even a charred stick can be plucked from the fire.
4. אוי — Realization of the gap births a cry for mercy and new creation.
5. און — Fleshly power stands at the gate: will it become true strength or empty vanity?
6. אור — Yielded to the Creator, the word turns to pure light that dispels darkness.
7. אות — Finally the light is stamped into history as a covenant sign—the completed work that forever marks those who chose life at the gate.

Every step keeps the original gate או intact; each added consonant unveils another stage in the journey from choice to counterfeit, conviction, power, illumination, and finally covenant certainty.
