Draw the he []


As you draw the he say "did not understand".

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. }}

  1. ± Ga 3:24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster [to bring us] unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
  2. ± Heb 10:1 For the law having a shadow of good things to come, [and] not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.
  3. ± Joh 10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:

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