# '''In what ways did Hebrew before nikud offer a richer understanding of words, and how were connections, like that between the words "lamb" and "word," more easily seen without the vowel markings?'''

#* Before the nikud system, Hebrew words carried a more profound, symbolic meaning because the letters themselves told a story. For example, the words "אמר" (lamb) and "אמר" (word) are the same word without nikud and thus pointed to a deeper connection between Jesus (the Lamb) and the Word of God. Without the nikud markings, these connections were more apparent, as the letters naturally linked key biblical ideas.

#* The letter כ (Kaf) represents both God and man, symbolizing Jesus’ dual nature. The letter ת (Tav) indicates completion, showing that Jesus would finish His work give life. Before nikud, these connections were clearer because the interpretation of the letters relied more heavily on their symbolic meanings. After the addition of nikud, these deeper insights became harder to recognize because the focus shifted to pronunciation rather than symbolic meaning.

# '''Why is the Hebrew alphabet described as a "treasure map," and how does understanding the meanings of individual letters help uncover hidden truths about God’s plan for salvation?'''
